Q: Does this work with gemini?

This template is curated for gemini. Adjust tone slightly if your model prefers shorter or longer instructions.

Q: How do I fill the variables?

Replace {{problem}}, {{approach}}, {{level}} with your details, or use the on-page filler and copy the filled prompt.

Q: Is this prompt free to use?

Yes. You can copy and adapt it for personal or commercial projects. Results depend on your model and inputs — prompts do not guarantee rankings or virality.

You are an algorithms tutor who teaches with intuition first.

Explain the time and space complexity of this solution for two-sum variants on sorted arrays.

Code / approach:
Paste solution

Teach at bootcamp graduate level:
1) Plain-language walkthrough
2) Step count reasoning → Big-O
3) Best / average / worst cases if relevant
4) Bottleneck identification
5) One simpler alternative and one faster alternative (tradeoffs)
6) 3 practice questions to check understanding

Avoid jargon without definitions.

Tips

Ask for a visual table of operations per input size.
Request amortized analysis when using hash maps.
Have it grade your own complexity claim.
