πŸš€ Welcome to Part 98 of Code & Debug’s DSA in Python Course!

In this lecture, we solve Leetcode 455: Assign Cookies using an efficient Greedy + Sorting strategy to maximize the number of content children. Perfect for beginners aiming to master greedy algorithms!

πŸ“š What you’ll learn in this video:
βœ… Problem breakdown with real-life analogy
βœ… Key greedy insight: Sort both arrays and assign the smallest cookie that satisfies each child
βœ… Full code walkthrough in Python
βœ… Step-by-step dry run and edge case handling
βœ… Time and space complexity analysis

πŸ’‘ Why is this important?
This problem helps build intuition for greedy algorithm design, a powerful technique in optimization problems frequently asked in tech interviews. Simple to understand, yet highly effective!
