|
|
|
|
By using two pointers, to in place modify array elements.

|
- One fast and one slow [[Leetcode Best-Time-To-Buy-And-Sell-Stock]] or [[Leetcode Linked-List-Cycle]]
|
|
- The two are unordered [[Leetcode Merge-Two-Sorted-Lists]]
|
|
|
|
### Why and when to use it?
|
|
|
|
- There are two arrays, or linked lists
|
|
- They are sorted, or operation in place will not interfere elements after.
