This video did a much better job on explaining the intuition behind the solution than many other videos in TH-cam

[@irynaspm284]

Hey man, this explanation is so much better than the other ones I watched. Thanks for really putting in the effort into making sure everything is clear. Please come back to making videos🙏🏼 TH-cam algorithms are promoting smaller channels again, I believe you can make a come back

[@babybear-hq9yd]

tysm!! i've been out of the SWE game for a couple of years now so not looking too likely but never say never!

[@samuhvarta]

You make it seem so simple. Thank you!

[@anujshrivastava5880]

If we sort the intervals based on ending time and remaining solution remains same, Can you please help in figuring out why it do not work ?

[@babybear-hq9yd]

lmfao cheers, i'll try to get around to it more

[@yomamasofat413]

greaaaaaaaaaaaaat video I finally get it

[@tindo0038]

I understand the implementation part, but I am not sure why we are interested in the earliest end time :(. greedy is tough, man.

[@babybear-hq9yd]

I haven't looked at this problem or any Leetcode in almost 3 years, but from what I recall, that's roughly covered around 6:30.
Conceptually, if I need a meeting room & all current rooms are being used/are booked, I am going to look for the one that ends soonest because that is the first one that I will occupy if it is available at my time.

[@tindo0038]

@@babybear-hq9yd thank you!

[@Paunitza]

Great explanation. You rock!

[@babybear-hq9yd]

Thanks Adriana 😁😁

[@davidleal714]

i still dont get it why heap and not just a list? i mean you can always get the last element with list[-1]

[@davidleal714]

nevermind, the heap keeps the lowest at the "top"

[@harshitgarg5042]

finally got the intuition!!

[@babybear-hq9yd]

BAM gotcha intuition!

[@didoma73]

wish you would have actually draw the heap DS

[@babybear-hq9yd]
