Q1: Driver Matching Algorithm - 2024 Real Question
Problem: Match riders with nearest available drivers efficiently.
Solution (Java):
public Driver matchDriver(Rider rider, List<Driver> availableDrivers) {
double minDistance = Double.MAX_VALUE;
for (Driver driver : availableDrivers) {
double distance = calculateDistance(rider.location, driver.location);
if (distance < minDistance) {
