LRU

LRU (Least Recently Used) is an algorithm in Computer Science used in many places. We were interviewing a candidate for a development position. My colleague quizzed the girl sitting across the table.

“Ok, what is the Least Recently Used algorithm?”

Immediately came the reply, “The algorithm which I have used least recently is … blah blah blah”

We didn’t know what to ask next.
