Q: Build CRUD APIs for a Hotel entity, then write an API to return the 3 closest hotels from a given city (machine coding).
A: Model a clean Hotel resource with standard create, read, update and delete endpoints, then add an endpoint that ranks hotels by distance from a city's coordinates and returns the top three. Keep the layers separated so the ranking logic stays testable.
Q: Design a Rating and Review System (system design).
A: Separate the write path (submitting a review) from the read path (showing aggregated ratings), use a store that fits high read volume, and precompute or cache average scores so listing pages stay fast.
Q: Find all ways to spend a total budget.
A: This is a combinatorial counting problem. Use dynamic programming or recursion with memoization over the remaining budget and the set of item costs to count valid combinations without recomputing subproblems.
Q: Award Top K Hotels.
A: Rank hotels by the given scoring criteria and return the K highest. A heap of size K gives the top results without a full sort when the dataset is large.
