Wow, translating the algo into code was tricky! Debugging was challenging, frustrating, and ultimately rewarding. Two debugging takeaways I can think of now: 1. Make the test case small, so it's easy to trace the whole thing through; 2. For bigger test case, the example from lecture notes was helpful. I just needed to set breakpoint intelligently to see the min and max arrays. Also, initializing the min and max value, then use the Math.min and Math.max was interesting. I may need to remember that, that's why I have the notes here!
