Removing Minimum and Maximum From Array | LEETCODE 2091 | Solve In Seconds | Amazon Most Asked

This video covers LeetCode 2091 — Removing Minimum and Maximum From Array. A medium-difficulty greedy array problem asked at Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft. The solution finds the indices of the minimum and maximum elements in a single O(n) pass, then compares three deletion strategies: delete from front only, delete from back only, or delete one from each end (the "pincer" move). The answer is the minimum of all three. Optimal O(1) space using only four variables. Edge cases covered: single element (return 1), adjacent min/max at one end (return 2), min/max at opposite ends (return 2).

Why this approach beats the others

  1. Company angle: "Amazon Most Asked Interview" — no competitor owns this for LC 2091.
  2. Three strategies compared: front-only, back-only, pincer — competitors show only one.
  3. "Solve In Seconds" promise — unique hook for this specific problem.
  4. "3 STRATEGIES | O(n) TIME" text on thumbnail — the exact upgrade interviewers want to see.
  5. FAANG company logos on thumbnail (Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft) — instant credibility.
  6. Long-tail keyword coverage: "greedy array", "three deletion strategies", "front back removal" — competitors miss these.
