Find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters in a given string s. Provide examples and edge cases to consider, such as empty strings or strings with only one character. Optimize for performance and time/space complexity, especially for large inputs.

Data Structures & AlgorithmsMedium

Given a string s, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters. For example: Input: s = abcabcbb Output: 3 Explanation: The answer is abc, with the length of 3. Input: s = bbbbb Output: 1 Explanation: The answer is b, with the length of 1. Input: s = pwwkew Output: 3 Explanation: The answer is wke, with the length of 3. Notice that the answer must be a substring; pwke is a subsequence and not a substring. Input: s = Output: 0 Implement an algorithm in your chosen language to efficiently determine the length of the longest substring without repeating characters in the given input string. Consider the time and space complexity of your solution. Can you optimize your approach to achieve the best possible performance, especially for very large input strings? What are the edge cases to consider, such as empty strings or strings with only one character?

How would you design the LinkedIn feed?

System DesignMedium

Let's design the LinkedIn feed. Consider the user experience, key features, scalability, and personalization aspects. For instance, how would you prioritize content from connections versus suggested content? How would you handle different content types like text, images, videos, and articles? How do you design a system to ensure that the feed remains responsive even with millions of active users? How would you personalize the feed to show users content they are most likely interested in, and what data would you use to achieve this personalization? Finally, how would you prevent the spread of misinformation or harmful content within the feed?
