Hey there — that’s a cool discussion about the Reduced String challenge. I like how people are breaking down the logic of removing adjacent matching characters until no more can be removed. Something I’ve noticed helps is visualizing the string operations step by step or drawing it out to avoid mistakes. Speaking of unexpected parallels, I once stumbled on airport limo services while thinking about “shortest paths,” and it reminded me how small decisions (or deletions) can change the route entirely.

By the way, in your approach, do you use a stack or two-pointer method, and have you found one to be faster or clearer when debugging edge cases?
