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.
