Study Notes

Two-Pointer Technique

The two-pointer technique is a common approach used to process elements in place or remove elements from a list without extra space.
It leverages two pointers or indices to traverse the data structure, often using a fast pointer and a slow pointer.
The technique is often used for problems where elements or data need special treatment within a data structure.
