| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This PR introduces significant enhancements to the LeetCode VS Code extension, adding Daily Challenges support and intelligent C++ debug template generation. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## ✨ Key Features Added |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +### 📅 **Daily Challenges Integration** |
| 8 | +- **Explorer Integration**: New "Daily Challenges" section in LeetCode Explorer |
| 9 | +- **30-Day History**: Browse and access past daily challenges |
| 10 | +- **Smart Caching**: 30-minute intelligent cache to prevent API spam |
| 11 | +- **Multi-endpoint Support**: Works with both leetcode.com and leetcode.cn |
| 12 | +- **GraphQL Integration**: Direct API integration for reliable data fetching |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +### 🔧 **Enhanced C++ Debug Templates** |
| 15 | +- **Auto C++ Headers**: Automatic inclusion of common headers (`#include <iostream>`, `<vector>`, etc.) |
| 16 | +- **Smart Test Data Parsing**: Extracts test data from problem descriptions automatically |
| 17 | +- **Intelligent Type Detection**: Recognizes `vector<string>`, `vector<int>`, `string`, `int`, `bool`, `double` |
| 18 | +- **Real Method Name Extraction**: Uses actual method names (`twoSum`, `isValid`) instead of placeholders |
| 19 | +- **Parameter Count Matching**: Only uses required number of parameters based on function signature |
| 20 | +- **HTML Entity Decoding**: Properly handles `"` → `"` and other HTML entities |
| 21 | +- **GraphQL Fallback**: Ensures parsing works for both CLI and Daily Challenge sources |
| 22 | + |

| 51 | + // implementation |
| 52 | + } |
| 53 | +}; |
| 54 | +
|
| 55 | +int main() { |
| 56 | + Solution sol; |
| 57 | +
|
| 58 | + // Test data: |
| 59 | + vector<int> nums = {2,7,11,15}; |
| 60 | + int target = 9; |
| 61 | +
|
| 62 | + auto result = sol.twoSum(nums, target); |
| 63 | + cout << "Result: " << result << endl; |
| 64 | +
|
| 65 | + return 0; |
