• Access Pair

  Two key cards must sum to the vault code. The card list is sorted; find their slots.

  two-pointers. Account access required.

• Best Window

  A revenue stream has good days and bad. Find the largest sum any contiguous run of days produces.

  kadane. Account access required.

• Bracket Integrity

  A config parser rejects malformed nesting. Validate the brackets.

  stack. Account access required.

• Log Reversal

  The flight recorder writes backward. Reverse the buffer to read it forward.

  two-pointers. Account access required.

• Find the Target

  A sorted index needs fast lookups. Binary-search for a key and return its position, or -1.

  binary-search. Account access required.

• Index Locator

  A sorted manifest needs a part looked up fast. Binary search it.
