Liz is kicking off a new series in this video where she focuses on dynamic arrays. Although arrays are often seen as a simpler data structure, dynamic array questions often come up in interviews since they test a baseline understanding of key concepts.

In this video, Liz walks through a dynamic array problem and touches on how memory allocation & amortization works with array resizing.

Coding challenge prompt Liz walks through in the video:
Given an array (arr) of integers, return an array (products) such that products[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of arr except arr[i]. Solve without the division operator in O(n) time.
