Q1: Course Recommendation System - 2025 Real Question
Problem: Recommend courses to users based on their preferences and learning history.
Solution (Java):
public List<String> recommendCourses(String userId, Map<String, Set<String>> userPreferences) {
Set<String> userPrefs = userPreferences.getOrDefault(userId, new HashSet<>());
List<String> recommendations = new ArrayList<>();
// Simple recommendation logic based on preferences
for (String course : allCourses) {
if (matchesPreferences(course, userPrefs)) {
recommendations.add(course);
return recommendations.stream()
.sorted((a, b) -> Integer.compare(getRating(b), getRating(a)))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
