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


# e.g. fact(4) = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24

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

# reversing all letters and all words in the string.

# e.g. reverse("hello world") will return "dlrow olleh"

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

👍 This works, but you have similar time/space issues with the above methods due to creating new arrays.

# Time complexity: O(n)

Consider n = 20 and m = 20, it should return 2, but returns 3 instead... hmmm
