Exponential Backoff Delays
Wonderful● EasyFULLTIMEPHONE SCREENProblem statement
Return the delay before each of attempts retries. The first delay is baseDelay; each later delay is multiplied by multiplier and capped at maxDelay.
Return an empty array for zero attempts.
Function
exponentialBackoff(baseDelay: int, multiplier: int, maxDelay: int, attempts: int) → int[]Examples
Example 1
baseDelay = 2multiplier = 3maxDelay = 20attempts = 5return = [2,6,18,20,20]The growth is capped after the third multiplication.
Example 2
baseDelay = 5multiplier = 2maxDelay = 100attempts = 0return = []No retry means no delay.
Constraints
1 <= baseDelay <= maxDelay <= 10^9.1 <= multiplier <= 1000.0 <= attempts <= 100000.
