Lexicographically Smallest Palindromic Permutation Greater Than Target | LEETCODE 3734 | Solve In Seconds

The video opens with the LeetCode 3734 problem statement and two examples, then explains frequency counting and the at-most-one-odd rule. It builds the left half with greedy choices constrained by the target prefix and backtracking, mirrors it into the final palindrome, and proves the O(26*n) time / O(26) space complexity. The flash texts "YOU WILL DO IT", "HARD MADE EASIEST" and "JUST WATCH IT" reinforce confidence.

Lexicographically Smallest Palindromic Permutation Greater Than Target (LeetCode 3734, Hard) is explained the easiest way — a clear greedy plus backtracking walkthrough that builds the smallest palindrome permutation strictly greater than the target.

LeetCode Question: https://leetcode.com/problems/lexicographically-smallest-palindromic-permutation-greater-than-target/
Solution (Java / Python / C++ / C): https://github.com/Shaanworkspace/YOUTUBE-DRIVE/blob/main/Leetcode_Daily/LC_3734_Lexicographically_Smallest_Palindromic_Permutation_Greater_Than_Target_All_Languages.md

Why this approach beats the others

  1. Exact long-tail keyword in title, description opening, FAQ, chapters, tags and hashtags — future "optimized" videos cannot outrank.
  2. Real GitHub code (4 languages) with a permanent blob link — competitors only paste screenshots.
  3. 21-section depth: chapters, FAQ, US SEO, scheduling, AI/GEO-ready transcript structure.
  4. Cinematic black thumbnail with LeetCode logo + flash texts and a real bearded face — highest CTR.

Notes for US interview prep

  • Metadata in American English (behavior/color/optimize).
  • Upload accurate English .srt captions (NOT auto) so YouTube + Google + AI engines index the palindrome permutation logic.
  • Schedule long-form Tue/Wed 2-4 PM EST (Shorts Fri 4-7 PM EST) via YouTube Schedule.
  • Build playlists: Amazon LeetCode Interview, Google LeetCode, Meta LeetCode, Microsoft LeetCode (even though no company is verified for 3734, these catch sibling searches).
  • Long-form hashtags trimmed to 3 (US RPM focus).
