Very clever, but hard (for me) to read. But after checking, I have a doubt that your code will work correct in case PO~~O~O in example. You should delete also P imho? I can't understand how it works, canU explain?

thing is, endding up with this is not that simple. It requires a few insights/realizations about the problem you're actually facing (see explanations there)

This might be one of the strongest simple solutions I've seen so far hahaha. Sometimes it really is too easy to overcomplicate these things.

sorry about that... x)

Hrrrk

Awesome!!

i can understand it now but now i think that the solution isnt good enough UwU

I bet you can now Owo

Very cool

my mind cant comprehend these 2 lines

Wooooow!

he is right, that's why there are two seperate upvote buttons "clever" and "best practices".
in production, code should always express intent.

Im confused how this works. Can anyone explain how this does what it does?

clever indeed.

That was a forehead-smacking moment for sure, but truly awesome. Well done!
