Key Topics & Real Trap Questions

Question 1
Hard Difficulty

Find the minimum window substring in string S containing all characters of string T.

Interviewer Trap:Using nested loops resulting in O(N^2) time complexity instead of O(N) sliding window.
Winning Response Strategy:Maintain a target frequency count map and shrink the left pointer as soon as all characters are matched.
