  • Implemented a combined approach for the deck revealing problem.
  • Sorted the deck to get the desired increasing reveal order.
  • Used a deque for reverse simulation:
    • Start from the largest card and work backwards.
    • Move last element to front (simulating forward 'move top to bottom').
    • Insert current card at front.
  • Converts deque to vector for final output.
  • This merges the intuitive forward simulation concept with an optimized reverse simulation.
  • Time Complexity: O(n log n), Space Complexity: O(n)
  • Clean, efficient, and easy to explain in interviews.
