Leetcode Question link: https://leetcode.com/problems/find-th...

In this video, we are solving coding problem involving students, chalk, and a unique distribution process. Imagine a classroom with n students, each needing a certain number of chalk pieces to solve problems assigned by the teacher. The students are numbered from 0 to n-1, and the teacher assigns problems to each student in order, looping back to the start after reaching the last student.

You're given an array chalk, where chalk[i] represents the number of chalk pieces student i needs to solve a problem. Starting with k pieces of chalk, the challenge is to determine which student will have to replace the chalk when the remaining pieces are insufficient for the next problem.

We'll walk through the logic to efficiently solve this problem, considering edge cases and optimizing for performance. Whether you're preparing for coding interviews or simply looking to improve your algorithmic skills, this problem offers a great learning opportunity.

Problem Breakdown:

Input: An integer array chalk, an integer k
Goal: Return the index of the student who will replace the chalk.
