Problem

Solve a classic algorithmic problem related to data structures (e.g., arrays, linked lists, or hash maps). Implement an LRU cache supporting get and put operations in O(1) average time. The function receives a positive capacity and an operation list, returning values only for get operations, with -1 for missing keys; inserting into a full cache evicts the least recently used key. Use the signature and operation format below.

Constraints

  • 1 <= capacity <= 100000
  • 1 <= operations.length <= 5000
  • Each operation is either ["get", key] or ["put", key, value]
  • 0 <= key <= 10^9
  • -10^9 <= value <= 10^9
  • Keys and values are integers
