Perfect, dude!

Since your goal is to just remember the logic (not full code), here’s a 🔥 super-
condensed 30-question logic-only cheat sheet for quick recall and revision — grouped by pattern!

✅ 1️⃣ Basics & Two Pointers

# Problem 🔑 Logic

1 Move Zeroes Shift non-zeros forward, fill rest with 0s

2 Remove Duplicates Keep slow pointer for unique position

4 Two Sum Store (target - num) in map and check

17 Squares of Sorted Two pointers from ends → compare squares

19 Search Insert Pos Binary search to find insert index

26 Rotate Array Reverse whole → first k → last n-k

✅ 2️⃣ Prefix Sums & Counting

# Problem 🔑 Logic

5 Running Sum Cumulative sum in array

6 Pivot Index Left sum = total - left - current

7 Subarray Sum = K Map of prefix sums → check (sum - k)

8 Max Avg Subarray Fixed window of size k, move it

27 Product Except Self Multiply left & right running products

✅ 3️⃣ Sorting & Rearranging

# Problem 🔑 Logic

9 Sort Colors 3 pointers: low, mid, high (Dutch Flag)

10 Merge Sorted Two pointers from end → fill largest

11 Intersection II Count in map, decrement if seen

12 Relative Sort Count arr1 freq, sort by arr2 order

✅ 4️⃣ Subarrays & Kadane’s

# Problem 🔑 Logic

13 Max Subarray Kadane’s: max(current, current+prev)


# Problem 🔑 Logic

14 Buy & Sell Stock Track min-so-far, update max profit

15 Contains Duplicate Use HashSet to check if seen before

16 Max Product Subarray Track both max and min so far (negatives flip!)

✅ 5️⃣ Binary Search

# Problem 🔑 Logic

18 Binary Search Classic mid check: left, mid, right

20 First/Last Position Do binary twice: leftmost & rightmost

28 Peak Element Binary: compare mid with mid+1

✅ 6️⃣ Matrix & Simulation

# Problem 🔑 Logic

21 Set Matrix Zeroes Use 1st row/col to mark rows/cols

22 Rotate Image Transpose + reverse each row

23 Spiral Matrix Traverse in 4 directions with boundaries

24 Pascal Triangle Each cell = prev_row[i-1] + prev_row[i]

25 Game of Life Encode new state with +10 logic (0→1 → 10)

✅ 7️⃣ Classic Problems

# Problem 🔑 Logic

29 Majority Element Boyer-Moore: cancel out non-majority

30 Find Disappeared Numbers Mark index as visited (negate at index-1)

🧠 Ready-to-Go Strategy

 🔁 Read each logic once before a test

 ❓ In interview: recall “pattern” (e.g. prefix sum, sliding window)

 🧪 Dry run if stuck mentally on logic

Need this as printable PDF or Anki flashcards format? Or want 1–2 logic dry-run now?
Just say the word 🔥💪
