1 problems

Pattern pages help build reusable solving frames. Identify signals first, then explain state, transition, and edge handling.

Recognition Signals

  • Ask candidate to explain how keys are generated and handled if duplicates occur.
  • Check if candidate preserves the original element references in the grouped arrays.

Solve Flow

  1. 1. Define the active state/window.
  2. 2. Update state while preserving invariants.
  3. 3. Validate with edge-heavy examples.

Common Misses

  • Overwriting arrays for duplicate keys instead of appending elements.
