That was a clear and simple explanation of the “Birthday Cake Candles” problem. I like how you broke down the logic of finding the tallest candle and counting its occurrences — it really helps beginners understand the reasoning behind the code instead of just following it.
It’s interesting how such a basic problem reinforces array traversal and comparison concepts. By the way, have you tried optimizing it using built-in functions or a single-pass approach for larger datasets?
