CS 1.6 all servers taken down


CS 1.6 , most probably is the first game that any gamer played. The game contains sentiments and lot of emotions. Those days were marvelous when all friends gather at one place connect their PC's with LAN and the play CS 1.6. Those shouting, abusing, taunting were the things that made the playing more interesting and we all remember the stuff we do while those hang outs and after the game is over we all try to pull each others legs my telling the tales about the stuff we did while playing and the number of ways we killed other or how stupid someone else's game was.
Well all of this, all the fun and joy have ended now because ESEA (E-Sports Entertainment Association League) has put out a statement announcing that they are officially shutting down servers for Counter Strike 1.6.


Here’s the announcement from their website:
When ESEA was founded, the only game it supported was Counter-Strike 1.6. Although Counter-Strike had already solidified itself as one of the founders of e-sports, the growth since its infancy has been staggering. Through all iterations of Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike 1.6 has long been a fan favorite and will go down as one of the best games ever made, period.
In 2014 we officially shut down all CS:S servers, and today we do the same for Counter-Strike 1.6. For many of us Counter-Strike 1.6 has played a large role in our life, from being the basis of lifetime friendships to developing e-sports legends that many of us still look up to today. It ultimately is what allowed ESEA to be what it is today. 
As a token of our appreciation for all of those who have been with us since the start, all current ESEA Premium and Insider members who have previously played a Counter-Strike 1.6 pug, before matchmaking was released, will have a special badge placed on their profile in the near future. 
The future is bright for Counter-Strike in esports, and Counter-Strike is here to stay with Global Offensive leading the way. It’s not going anywhere and neither is ESEA. Here’s to another 14 more years, and beyond!
You can however, still play the game, it’s just the official ESEA servers that are down.

1456, Maximum Number of Vowels in a Substring of Given Length

Hi, folks today I am here with an interesting coding problem from Leetcode. *To directly go to the question please click here. So I will walk through the solution. It will be a brute force and an optimized way solution. I will be explaining the optimized way solutions in depth. # Intuition For any substring of length k, we need to find how many vowels are there in it and provide the highest count of all counts of vowels in a substring. Test Case 1 Input k = 2 and s='asjdee' Output - 2 Explanation: As for substring of length k=2, in the string 's' we have 'ee' when the length is k and the vowels count is 2 Test Case 2 Input k=3 and s='aasdiisdwe' Output - 2 Explanation - For all the substrings with length k = 3 we have 'aas' and 'dii' with 2 vowels each in it. Brute Force - Looping (twice) - Gives TLE (Not recommended) # Approach Create a hashmap (dictionary) with all the vowels in it. Loop through the string till len(s)-k element of strin...

1721 - Swapping Nodes in a Linked List.

Hi, Today we will be solving leetcode qs 1721 - Swapping Nodes in a Linked List. This qs is really simple. We need to swap the nodes placed at k distance from the start and end of the Linked List. So let's suppose you have a Linked List input as follows: 1 -> 2-> 4 -> 5 -> 7 -> 8 -> 10-> 9  and you are given a k = 2, so the output should be 1 -> 10 -> 4 -> 5 -> 7 -> 8 -> 2 -> 9 so how do we achieve it??? Intuition The most brute force solution one can think of is using Array data structure. For that, we will traverse through linked List and store all the elements in the Array, swap the two numbers and again insert it in theLinked List again. Not bad, but let's deal with it, it is not the optimal solution and far from being as an acceptable solution in interviews. So what can we done instead of that??? Let's try to look deep into the working of Linked List first and how do we traverse it. Linked List is a linear data structure that...
