This is complex for no good reason. 
You don't have to show off. 
Less is more.
This is not me showing off. It's a complex problem and thus warrants a complex solution.
You can accomplish this same thing with a single while loop.
My solution works just as well. You know I really worked hard on this 😔

Good point. That would be cleaner and remove some of the complexity. 
Let me rework this.

Yeah, I initially thought the same thing, but I have to also iterate through the list. That led me to this solution which handles all cases.

Well, there has to be a simpler approach than this!
I'm all for the simplest approach possible. Let me find some time on your calendar so that we can whiteboard it out.

Why didn't you just make the function's argument optional and set it to a default value?
Oh wow, that's pretty cool! We don't have that option in Java. 
I'll make this change and read a bit more about it as well.
