LRU (implement in JAVA)

LRU(Least recently used) eliminates data based on the history of accesses, with the core idea being that “if data has been accessed recently, it has a higher chance of being accessed in the future”.

We can use the LinkedHashMap built in Java.

class LRUCache extends LinkedHashMap<Integer, Integer>{
    private int capacity;
    
    public LRUCache(int capacity) {
        super(capacity, 0.75F, true);
        this.capacity = capacity;
    }

    public int get(int key) {
        return super.getOrDefault(key, -1);
    }

    public void put(int key, int value) {
        super.put(key, value);
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean removeEldestEntry(Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> eldest) {
        return size() > capacity; 
    }
}

Also, we can implement this by ourselves.

/** 
 * To implement a simple cache using LinkedHashMap, you must implement the removeEldestEntry method. 
 * Check the JDK documentation for details.


 *  
 * @param <K> 
 * @param <V>

public class LRULinkedHashMap<K, V> extends LinkedHashMap<K, V> {  
    private final int maxCapacity;  

    private static final float DEFAULT_LOAD_FACTOR = 0.75f;  

    private final Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();  

    public LRULinkedHashMap(int maxCapacity) {  
        super(maxCapacity, DEFAULT_LOAD_FACTOR, true);  
        this.maxCapacity = maxCapacity;
