- Didn't find any where but question looks like this.
e.g. array of timestamps and stock price is given, and we have to find max,min and avg stock price when getKPI's method gets called in minimum time complexity.
Also there is another modify operation which can change stock price in past dates, so corresponding max, min & avg price needs to be changed on next getKPI method call
Altough not able to pass all test cases for 3rd Question but still After this Recruiter reached me to invite for interview which was a live video call lasting approximately 60 minutes that's centered around a programming challenge
