- 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.
