Coding problem2
Timing - 4pm
Interview - I was asked to design a software cache layer given some constraints. Concepts tested were function overloading and event loop for js.
1. System Design Question
Design a cache layer using function overloading for the response object for a express.js application.
2. Technical Question
A code file was given to me with some console logs and I was asked to predict the order in which it will be called.
Problem approach
I knew that it was event loop based problem because it had async await in it. So I applied the concepts I knew.
