/LRU-cache

A basic implementation of an LRU cache in JavaScript

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Design and implement a data structure for Least Recently Used (LRU) cache. It should support the following operations: get and put.

get(key) - Get the value (will always be positive) of the key if the key exists in the cache, otherwise return -1. put(key, value) - Set or insert the value if the key is not already present. When the cache reached its capacity, it should invalidate the least recently used item before inserting a new item.

The cache is initialized with a positive capacity.

Follow up: Could you do both operations in O(1) time complexity?

Example:

LRUCache cache = new LRUCache(2); // instantiated with capacity

cache.put(1, 1);
cache.put(2, 2);
cache.get(1); 		// returns 1
cache.put(3, 3); 	// evicts key 2
cache.get(2); 		// returns -1 (nt found)
cache.put(4, 4); 	// evicts key 1
cache.get(1); 		// returns -1 (not found)
cache.get(3); 		// returns 3
cache.get(4); 		// returns 4
