Today was all about diving into LeetCode questions armed with the powerful Cycle Sort algorithm.

  1. Understanding Cycle Sort: To kick off the day, I delved into the Cycle Sort algorithm. It's a sorting technique that's not only efficient but also holds its own charm due to its cyclic permutation-based approach. Understanding its mechanics gave me a new perspective on sorting algorithms.

  2. Tackling LeetCode Challenges: Armed with Cycle Sort, I took on a set of LeetCode questions. One of the questions involved finding the duplicate numbers in an array – a task that aligns perfectly with Cycle Sort's strengths. The algorithm's ability to bring elements to their correct positions while detecting duplicates made solving this problem a breeze.

  3. Optimized Space Complexity: What intrigued me most was Cycle Sort's space efficiency. Unlike other sorting algorithms that often require extra space, Cycle Sort's constant space complexity made it a great choice for scenarios with memory constraints.

Engaging with Cycle Sort and applying it to LeetCode challenges has been immensely gratifying. It's a reminder that problem-solving isn't just about memorizing algorithms; it's about understanding their logic and creatively adapting them to various scenarios.
