In this video, I explain the problem step-by-step, discuss the optimal greedy approach, and implement the solution live while coding.
🚀 Problem: LeetCode 1217 – Minimum Cost to Move Chips to The Same Position
🧠 Approach:
Observe the movement cost rules:
Moving a chip by 2 positions costs 0
Moving a chip by 1 position costs 1
Count:
Number of chips at even positions
Number of chips at odd positions
To make all chips meet at the same position:
Move the smaller group to the larger group
Return the minimum of:
even count
odd count
⏱ Time Complexity: O(n)
📦 Space Complexity: O(1)

📝 Notes:
Greedy observation-based problem
Parity (odd/even) is the key concept
Moving by 2 positions is free
Simple and efficient one-pass solution
