Today I solved a HackerRank warm-up problem:
“Compare the Triplets” ⚖️
At first, I tried a very naive approach:
hardcoding comparisons between indices.
But I quickly realized it was unnecessary and messy.
So I refactored the solution into something much cleaner:
👉 a simple loop over the 3 elements
👉 two counters (Alice vs Bob)
👉 direct comparison logic
And the final solution was surprisingly clean and fast.
In this video:
✅ HackerRank warm-up problem
✅ Refactoring from naive to clean code
✅ Simple loop-based logic
✅ Counter-based scoring system
✅ Basic but solid problem decomposition
What I learned:
Even in very simple problems, there is always a cleaner abstraction than the first thing you write.
