Interview Questions (2)
Implement LRU Cache
Design and implement an LRU (Least Recently Used) cache that supports the following operations in O(1) time:
- get(key): Return the value of the key if it exists in the cache; otherwise, return -1.
- put(key, value): Insert or update the value of the key. When the cache reaches its capacity, it should invalidate the least recently used item before inserting the new item. You need to design the data structures and algorithms to achieve the required time complexity.
Design a Wallet System
Create a high‑level design for a digital wallet system. The design should cover core components, data flow, calculations (e.g., balances, transaction limits), handling of edge cases (such as concurrency, failure recovery), and integration points with external services like payment gateways and fraud detection. Discuss scalability, security, and consistency considerations.
