The condition is that both R's come before both L's — that is, in the sequence, every R appears before every L. This is more restrictive than just "the two R’s together" or "R’s clustered."

Understanding the R-L Constraint: Mastering Sequences Where Every R Precedes Every L In pattern-based sequencing challenges, one particularly strict and intriguing condition is that both R's must come before both L's in any given string. This means that no L appears before any R — every instance of the letter R must precede each and every L. While simpler variants (like “R’s together” or “no clustered L’s”) relax this requirement, this condition imposes a strict order that demands careful attention in data filtering, string manipulation, and algorithm design. --- ### What Makes This Condition Special?
