Furthest Point From Origin

Data Structures & AlgorithmsEasy

You are given a string moves of length n consisting only of characters 'L', 'R', and '_'. The string represents your movement on a number line starting from the origin 0. In the ith move, you can choose one of the following directions: move to the left if moves[i] = 'L' or moves[i] = '_' move to the right if moves[i] = 'R' or moves[i] = '_' Return the *distance from the origin* of the *furthest* point you can get to after n moves. Example 1: Input: moves = L_RL__R Output: 3 Explanation: The furthest point we can reach from the origin 0 is point -3 through the following sequence of moves LLRLLLR. Example 2: Input: moves = R__LL Output: 5 Explanation: The furthest point we can reach from the origin 0 is point -5 through the following sequence of moves LRLLLLL. Example 3: Input: moves = _ Output: 7 Explanation: The furthest point we can reach from the origin 0 is point 7 through the following sequence of moves RRRRRRR.

How would you implement a service like Twitter?

System DesignHard

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?
