Design LRU cache with O(1) operations

Q: Design LRU cache with O(1) operations

This question evaluates a candidate's understanding of data structures and algorithm design, specifically skills in implementing constant-time cache operations, eviction policies, update handling, and concurrency/thread-safety considerations.

Q: How do I approach Coding & Algorithms interview questions?

Coding & Algorithms questions require understanding of core concepts and practice. PracHub provides solutions with explanations to help you master coding & algorithms interviews.

Question

Design and implement an in-memory cache that evicts the least recently used entry when capacity is reached. Support get(key) and put(key, value) in O(

average time. Describe the data structures you would use, how you maintain and update access order, and how you handle updates to existing keys. Discuss edge cases (e.g., capacity = 0), thread-safety considerations, and how you would test the implementation.
