hello!

you are almost there. consider these things –

nextGateIndex is the index, which you have to use on the gates array (that actually contains the gate objects) to get access of the next gate.

then you have to get access of that gate’s queue at the tickIndex, add overflowAmount to it, then store it back at that position with the new result.

This helped in reinforcing I was on the right track thank you!
