Write a FizzBuzz program from 1 to 100. Print “Fizz” for multiples of three, “Buzz” for multiples of five, and “FizzBuzz” for multiples of both. How would you handle variations of the prompt, such as user-defined limits or words to print, or gracefully handle invalid input? Explain your approach and assumptions made.

Data Structures & AlgorithmsEasy

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.

How would you scale a social media platform to handle millions of users and real-time updates?

System DesignMedium

Let's explore scalability with a practical scenario. Imagine you're building a social media platform like Twitter, which needs to support millions of users who are constantly posting, liking, and re-sharing content. Consider these factors: Data Volume: Users generate terabytes of data daily. Read/Write Ratio: The platform experiences a high read-to-write ratio (many more reads than writes). Real-time Updates: Users expect to see new content and updates in real-time. Given these requirements, discuss the following: What are the key scalability challenges you anticipate? How would you approach scaling the platform's architecture to handle the increasing load, including database design, caching strategies, and load balancing? Describe specific technologies and techniques you might use to address each challenge. What are the trade-offs associated with different scaling approaches, and how would you evaluate the effectiveness of your scaling efforts?
