Sorry about struggling with this simple problem. Do you think I should redo a video next time, or do you prefer this format of "solving from scratch without preparation"?

[AshishSingh-dnwb]

Your approach is perfect. Watching you make mistakes and then debugging them and correcting the code is an even better way to learn.

[stonecoldcold]

Do on the go dude. No need to prepare. Its good to watch this way

[Ramesh]

Every time I solve the problem, I would come back to your channel to validate my solution. I like the thought process of yours while solving the problem and the way you keep it real. Mistakes makes it more interesting.

[wixisgreasy]

I use Python and watching you solve with both C++ and Python is amazing, please keep doing this where you solve the problems in both C++ and Python

[sharathnair]

Easiest way is to use a Max heap (priority queue for c++)

[edmundovidana]

I loved the lambda function, if you were using priority_queue i will not learn something as amazing as that, please continue with speed code in c++

[nullnull]

Just don't prepare this is awesome for me like really I learn a lot by watching you thinknig on the spot, nobody provide this content but you.
I hope you see this comment.
A lot of other youtuber prepare and do boring and useless videos, but this is unique.

[PiyushKumar-qjue]

Well, multiset approach isn't that bad, you could go for multiset<int, std:: greater<int>>
This will insert in descending order

To remove only one occurance just do: erase(find(element)).

Complexity O(nlogn)

[shashwatkhanna]

I find such types of videos more educational because you make mistakes and then go about fixing it. Watching you do that teaches us about your thought process and how you tackle such questions.

Great Job!

Thank you for adding Python version! Please start first with Python then C++.
I prefer "solving from scratch without preparation", in this way, we follow you on how to think, we learn the process and we will not be discourage, next time, when we do our own algorithms and see that we struggle and not work from the first try. btw, last days you were at 86k, now after just after adding Python version, you suddenly jumped to 99k

[brestv]

"100k subscriber very very very soon", you deserved already 1million

[imranariffin]

I love to observe how you think when approaching these problems so I would really appreciate if you can continue solving them without preparation 🙏

[almuhimen]

YAY! PYTHON! But I have started to code in C++ lately.

[ItumelengS]

Always good to see how to debug, I think this is the best approach. Many people always show perfect programs, it's boring to see code always working.

Errichto: "0"... some stupid way to write it
Rust programmers: :|

[Player-ubtg]

Errichto : Good morning !
Me watching at 3 a.m. : Good morning !

[tac-angry]

No, this way is better . watching your approach to a problem is amazing.

[khmsalhuas]

I see Python and I subscribe! I love when you show the process and the way you search online.

[milanboroja]

This way of recording is very good. You are honest.
