Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design an algorithm that finds the middle element of a linked list in O(n) time. Discuss potential scenarios in which linked list usage would benefit over an array.

💡 Hint: How can you optimize your traversal?

Challenge 2 Hard

Propose a way to implement an array that can dynamically resize itself when elements exceed its initial capacity. Discuss the time complexity of the resizing operation.

💡 Hint: Think about managing pointers during resizing.
