The issue with your `LRUCache` implementation lies in how the least recently used (LRU) item is being evicted when the cache reaches its capacity. Specifically, the problem arises because the code incorrectly removes the **most recently used** item instead of the **least recently used** one.
### Detailed Explanation
1. **Understanding the Circular Linked List:**
- The `last` pointer in your circular linked list is intended to point to the **most recently used** (MRU) item.
- The item pointed to by `last.next` is the **least recently used** (LRU) item.
2. **Issue in the `put` Method:**
```typescript
put(key: number, value: number): void {
if (this.cache.has(key)) {
const entry = this.cache.get(key)!;
entry.value = value;
this.moveToFront(key);
} else {
const newNode = new ListNode(key);
if (this.capacity === 0) {
return;
}
if (this.cache.size >= this.capacity) {
if (this.last) {
const lruKey = this.last.val; // Incorrect: Should be this.last.next.val
this.removeNode(this.last);
this.cache.delete(lruKey);
}
}
this.insertAtFront(newNode);
this.cache.set(key, { node: newNode, value: value });
}
}
```
- **Problem:** The code attempts to remove the LRU item by deleting `this.last.val`, which actually points to the **MRU** item.
- **Solution:** To remove the LRU item, you should target `this.last.next.val`, which correctly points to the **LRU** item.
3. **Corrected `put` Method:**
```typescript
put(key: number, value: number): void {
if (this.cache.has(key)) {
const entry = this.cache.get(key)!;
entry.value = value;
this.moveToFront(key);
} else {
const newNode = new ListNode(key);
if (this.capacity === 0) {
return;
}
if (this.cache.size >= this.capacity) {
if (this.last) {
const lruKey = this.last.next.val; // Correct: Points to LRU
this.removeNode(this.last.next); // Remove the LRU node
this.cache.delete(lruKey);
}
}
this.insertAtFront(newNode);
this.cache.set(key, { node: newNode, value: value });
}
}
```
4. **Summary of Changes:**
- **Eviction Logic:** Change from `this.last.val` to `this.last.next.val` to correctly identify the LRU item.
- **Removal Process:** Pass `this.last.next` to the `removeNode` method to remove the correct node from the linked list.
### Corrected Implementation
Here's the complete corrected version of your `LRUCache` class:
```typescript
class ListNode {
val: number;
next: ListNode | null;
constructor(val: number) {
this.val = val;
this.next = null;
}
}
class LRUCache {
private capacity: number;
private cache: Map<number, { node: ListNode, value: number }>;
private last: ListNode | null;
constructor(capacity: number) {
this.capacity = capacity;
this.cache = new Map();
this.last = null;
}
get(key: number): number {
if (!this.cache.has(key)) {
return -1;
}
const entry = this.cache.get(key)!;
this.moveToFront(key);
return entry.value;
}
put(key: number, value: number): void {
if (this.cache.has(key)) {
const entry = this.cache.get(key)!;
entry.value = value;
this.moveToFront(key);
} else {
const newNode = new ListNode(key);
if (this.capacity === 0) {
return;
}
if (this.cache.size >= this.capacity) {
if (this.last) {
const lruKey = this.last.next!.val; // Correctly target LRU
this.removeNode(this.last.next!); // Remove LRU node
this.cache.delete(lruKey);
}
}
this.insertAtFront(newNode);
this.cache.set(key, { node: newNode, value: value });
}
}
private moveToFront(key: number): void {
const entry = this.cache.get(key);
if (!entry || !this.last) {
return;
}
const node = entry.node;
if (this.last.next === node) {
return; // Already at front
}
// Find the previous node
let prev = this.last;
while (prev.next !== node && prev.next !== this.last.next) {
prev = prev.next!;
if (prev === this.last) break;
}
if (prev.next !== node) {
return;
}
// Remove node from its current position
prev.next = node.next;
// Insert node at the front (after last)
node.next = this.last.next;
this.last.next = node;
// Update last to node as it's now the most recently used
this.last = node;
}
private removeNode(node: ListNode): void {
if (!this.last) return;
if (this.last === node && this.last.next === node) {
// Only one node in the list
this.last = null;
return;
}
let prev = this.last;
while (prev.next !== node && prev.next !== this.last.next) {
prev = prev.next!;
if (prev === this.last) break;
}
if (prev.next !== node) {
return; // Node not found
}
// Remove the node
prev.next = node.next;
// Update last if necessary
if (this.last === node) {
this.last = prev;
}
}
private insertAtFront(node: ListNode): void {
if (!this.last) {
node.next = node;
this.last = node;
} else {
node.next = this.last.next;
this.last.next = node;
this.last = node; // Update last to the new node as it's most recently used
}
}
}
```
### Testing the Corrected Implementation
Let's verify the corrected implementation with the provided test case:
```typescript
const cache = new LRUCache(2);
cache.put(1, 1); // Cache: {1=1}
cache.put(2, 2); // Cache: {1=1, 2=2}
console.log(cache.get(1)); // Returns 1, Cache order: {2=2, 1=1}
cache.put(3, 3); // Evicts key 2, Cache: {1=1, 3=3}
console.log(cache.get(2)); // Returns -1 (not found)
cache.put(4, 4); // Evicts key 1, Cache: {3=3, 4=4}
console.log(cache.get(1)); // Returns -1 (not found)
console.log(cache.get(3)); // Returns 3
console.log(cache.get(4)); // Returns 4
```
**Expected Output:**
```
1
-1
-1
3
4
```
**Explanation:**
- After inserting keys `1` and `2`, accessing key `1` makes `1` the most recently used.
- Inserting key `3` evicts `2` (the least recently used).
- Inserting key `4` evicts `1`.
- Accessing keys `1`, `3`, and `4` returns `-1`, `3`, and `4` respectively.
This corrected implementation should now behave as expected, correctly evicting the least recently used items and maintaining the correct order of usage.
