LRU Cache

Design and implement a data structure for Least Recently Used (LRU) cache. It should support get and put operations.

  • get(key): Get the value (which will always be positive) of the key if the key exists in the cache, otherwise return -1.
  • put(key, value): Set or insert the value if the key is not already present. When the cache reached its capacity, it should invalidate the least recently used item before inserting a new item.

The cache is initialized with a positive capacity.

Can you do both operations in O(1) time complexity?
