Solution: Car Pooling

Explore how to solve the car pooling problem by simulating passenger pickups and drop-offs along a fixed route. Understand how to apply the difference array pattern to efficiently track passenger counts over intervals, ensuring the car capacity is maintained without exceeding limits.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given a car with a fixed number of seats, denoted by an integer capacity. The car only travels in one direction — eastward — and does not make any U-turns.

You are also provided with an array, trips, where each element trips[i] =[numPassengersi,fromi,toi]= [\text{numPassengers}_i, \text{from}_i, \text{to}_i] ...
