Yeah... IDK if I'm allowed to solve reverse_inplace the way I did...

Overall nice work, you hit the learning goals here. Well done. Check my comments below especially with regard to time/space complexity. Let me know if you have questions.

if s.length <= 1
return s
else
return s[-1] + reverse(s[1...-1]) + s[0]

s[1..-1] creates a new array and copies all the individual elements over and so is O(n) by itself.

This works, but because you create a new array with each recursive call this is O(n2) for both time/space complexity.

👍 Time & space complexity is O(n)

  1. You are doing recursion so the system stack applies to the space complexity (at least O(n))
  2. Since you are doing array.shift this is by itself an O(n) time operation. Combined with the recursion it's O(n2)

👍 This works, but you have similar time/space issues with the above methods.

# Time complexity: ?
# Space complexity: ?
# Time complexity: O(n), where n is the longer number
# Space complexity: O(n)

# Added Fun
# Time complexity: O(n*2^n), almost I think.

O(2n), actually

Space complexity O(n)

# It'll go n-1 levels deep, with up to 2^n leaves, so n*2^n...
# Space complexity: O(n*2^n)...? not sure
