[SOLVED!] LRU Cache - LeetCode 146 - Java

#coding #interviews #softwareengineering

The solution to LeetCode problem 146.

Description: Design a data structure that follows the constraints of a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache.

Implement the LRUCache class:

LRUCache(int capacity) Initialize the LRU cache with positive size capacity.
int get(int key) Return the value of the key if the key exists, otherwise return -1.
void put(int key, int value) Update the value of the key if the key exists. Otherwise, add the key-value pair to the cache. If the number of keys exceeds the capacity from this operation, evict the least recently used key.

The functions get and put must each run in O(1) average time complexity.

Solution: I start with software engineering interview question by explaining the problem, coding the solution, running it through IntelliJ, and finally submitting it in LeetCode. Join me as I try to explain the solution and like or subscribe if you found it helpful. Thanks!
