Closed

Description

@Huerte

You don't have to write code to contribute

Some solutions have short or missing explanations. Help the next learner understand them.

Time: ~5 minutes | Skills needed: Reading + writing

Task

  • Pick any solution file (any language)
  • Read it
  • Improve the top comment: what does it do, in simple words?
  • (Optional) Add the time complexity if you know it

Only edit comments, please don't change the code.

Explaining code is one of the fastest ways to understand it.

Comment which file you picked.

    Hi, I'd like to work on this. I'll pick one solution and add a plain-English explanation. Is that okay?
