How to solve a coding challenge using Aesop’s Fable of the Tortoise and the Hare?

Let’s start with a review of the classic story:

Once upon a time, there was a race between a tortoise and a hare. The hare ran so fast that he soon left the tortoise far behind. But then he got lazy and decided to take a nap. The tortoise kept plodding along steadily, and eventually, he passed the hare and won the race!

The moral of the story is “slow and steady wins the race.”

And now for the algorithm:

The idea is to traverse a list with two pointers, one slow and one fast. I’ll use this technique in this video to solve a Friday Code Challenge. Check out the video, and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe!
