Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print “Fizz” instead of the number and for the multiples of five print “Buzz”. For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print “FizzBuzz”. Details: Your solution should be runnable and demonstrate the output. Focus on clean, readable code. Consider edge cases and error handling (though not strictly required for this basic version). Provide a brief explanation of your approach and any assumptions you made. Example: 1 2 Fizz 4 Buzz Fizz 7 8 Fizz Buzz 11 Fizz 13 14 FizzBuzz ... Variations (optional, for a more challenging exercise): Allow the user to input the upper limit of the range (instead of always going to 100). Allow the user to input the numbers to use for Fizz and Buzz (instead of always using 3 and 5). Allow the user to input the words to use for Fizz and Buzz (instead of always using Fizz and Buzz). Handle invalid inputs gracefully. This question assesses a candidate's basic programming skills, understanding of loops and conditional statements, and ability to write clean, understandable code. The variations allow for exploring error handling, input validation, and more flexible program design.

Let's design a Twitter-like service. Consider the following: Core Functionality: How would you implement the ability for users to post tweets, follow other users, and view a timeline of tweets from the users they follow? Data Model: What database schema would you use to store tweets, user information, and follower relationships? Consider scalability and efficiency for reads and writes. Scalability: How would you handle a large number of users and tweets? Discuss strategies for sharding, caching, and load balancing. Real-time Updates: How would you ensure that users see new tweets in their timeline in near real-time? Consider using technologies like WebSockets or Server-Sent Events. Search: How would you implement a search feature that allows users to find tweets containing specific keywords or hashtags? Think about indexing strategies and search algorithms. Rate Limiting: How would you prevent abuse and ensure fair usage of the service? Describe your approach to rate limiting API requests. Example Scenario: Imagine a user, Alice, follows 1,000 other users, including Bob. Bob posts a tweet. Explain how that tweet would propagate to Alice's timeline, considering potential performance bottlenecks. Technology Stack: What technologies (programming languages, frameworks, databases, etc.) would you choose and why?
