In the solution article you have a shift and a sort being done inside a while, that is, the multiplication of Ns. My solution, below, iterates through the list once and then sorts it, separately. It´s O(N+Log(N)) class ListNode { constructor(val = 0, next = null) { th"See full answer

Anonymous Spider - "1) Start by clarifying your constraints - which side of the marketplace am I focusing on and what are they solving for?

Bhaskar B. - "This could be done using two-pointer approach assuming array is sorted: left and right pointers. We need track two sums (left and right) as we move pointers. For moving pointers we will move left to right by 1 (increment) when right sum is greater. We will move right pointer to left by 1 (decrement) when left sum is greater. at some point we will either get the sum same and that's when we exit from the loop. 0-left will be one array and right-(n-1) will be another array. We are not going to mo"See full answer

Adib M. - "Ask if the quality aspect is negotiable? Clearly hoping it is not. Then move on to explain nicely about the iron triangle - scope, time, resources.
