1. [OA] Design an Offline-First Sync Engine to Manage Transactions in Stripe's Mobile App

Offline capabilities are essential for Stripe's mobile users, enabling transaction management without losing data when connectivity is limited. Design an Offline-First Sync Engine that ensures transactions are synchronized efficiently when online.
You should implement a class OfflineSyncEngine with methods to add, sync, and retrieve transactions.
- Method 1: addTransaction(Transaction tx) - adds a transaction locally.
- Method 2: syncTransactions() - syncs all locally added transactions to the server when online.
- Method 3: getTransactions() -> List<Transaction> - retrieves the list of transactions.
Example 1:
Input: addTransaction(new Transaction(...))
Output: None
Input: syncTransactions()
Output: None
Input: getTransactions()
Output: List<Transaction>
Constraints:
- The engine can handle up to 1000 transactions.

2. [OA] Tree — Design a Tree Structure to Represent Currency Exchange Rates

As part of Stripe’s financial services, representing fluctuating currency exchange rates in a tree structure can enable efficient querying and updates. This task involves creating an appropriate tree design to serve those needs.
You are to implement a class CurrencyExchangeTree with methods to add rates, remove rates, and retrieve the rate between two currencies efficiently.
- Method 1: addRate(String from, String to, double rate) - adds a new exchange rate.
- Method 2: removeRate(String from, String to) - removes an exchange rate.
- Method 3: getRate(String from, String to) -> double - Retrieves the exchange rate between two currencies.
Example 1:
Input: addRate('USD', 'EUR', 0.84)
Output: None
Input: getRate('USD', 'EUR')
Output: 0.84
Constraints:
- The tree can have at most 100 unique currency nodes.
