[palanivelraju]

there's a small mistake in the dry run in moore's algo at last votes for majority 2 is 1, when majority reaches 3 the votes will be 0, so, majority will be updated in the next iteration so majority will be update as 1, please check, explanation is too good!!!

SO CLASSY AND please make the playlist of data structures important questions too

[ramshankar]

Shouldn’t there be a line to break out of loop if votes reached more than n/2? So that you don’t have to even loop completely through the array if you have found majority in the first half itself.

Great video man! Loved this explanation, you are highly underrated. If it's possible can you do python solutions as well for future leetcode videos? Thanks again!

it's tough to get an optimized solution 😔.... but I will try to reach it on my own 😊.
