Q: Given an array of string commands as input, output a correct file path.
A: This tests string parsing and stack handling. Walk the commands, push directory names and pop on parent commands, then join what's left into a normalized path.
Q: Design an algorithm to get the load on the server in the past 5 minutes, given the time stamps of requests.
A: Use a sliding window over the request timestamps. Keep a queue and drop entries older than five minutes as new requests arrive.
