    " To start, I'm going to make sure I understand the product correctly and also define what specific business metric we're trying to improve. Second, I will focus on defining the target user for which we want to improve the product and brainstorm what additional user problems we could solve. And third, I will generate solutions for these problems, prioritize them, and make a recommendation."

    "A much better solution than the one in the article, below: It looks like the ones writing articles here in Javascript do not understand the time/space complexity of javascript methods. shift, splice, sort, etc... 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"

    "Approach 1: Use sorting and return the kth largest element from the sorted list. Time complexity: O(nlogn) Approach 2: Use max heap and then select the kth largest element. time complexity: O(n+logn) Approach 3: Quickselect. Time complexity O(n) I explained my interviewer the 3 approaches. He told me to solve in a naive manner. Used Approach 1 had some time left so coded approach 3 also The average time complexity of Quickselect is O(n), making it very efficient for its purpose. However, in"
