In this HackerRank Game of Two Stacks problem, we have two stacks with nonnegative integer values. where index 0 denotes the top of the stack. in each move, we need to remove one integer from the top of either stack a or stack b. after that we need to find the maximum possible integers we removed from the two stacks.
