OOPs, Data Structures, and Algorithms

HardPython

Problem

Tell me about your experience with OOPs concepts and data structures and algorithms.

For the hands-on portion, implement an LRU cache that demonstrates encapsulation and appropriate data-structure selection. Define lru_cache_operations(capacity, operations), where each operation is ['put', key, value] or ['get', key]; return the values from get operations in order, using null for misses. A successful get marks the key as most recently used.

Constraints

  • 1 <= capacity <= 10^4
  • 1 <= operations.length <= 10^4
  • Each key is an integer
  • Each value is an integer
  • Each operation is either ['put', key, value] or ['get', key]

Function Signature

def lru_cache_operations(capacity, operations):
