The solution is optimal because it only iterates through the vector once.

A.I. Evaluation of the Solution

The candidate's solution is optimal because it only iterates through the vector once. However, the candidate does not provide a detailed explanation of their approach, which makes it difficult to understand their thought process. In addition, the candidate does not comment on their code, which makes it difficult to follow.
