Build your own LRU Cache

Design and implement a data structure for Least Recently Used (LRU) cache. It should support the following operations: get and set.
get(key) - Get the value (will always be positive) of the key if the key exists in the cache, otherwise return -1.
 
set(key, value) - Set or insert the value if the key is not already present. When the cache reached its capacity, it should invalidate the least recently used item before inserting a new item.
Analysis
The key to solve this problem is using a double linked list which enables us to quickly move nodes.
LRU-Cache
The LRU cache is a hash table of keys and double linked nodes. The hash table makes the time of get() to be O(1). The list of double linked nodes make the nodes adding/removal operations O(1).
Java Solution
Define a double linked list node.
class Node{
    int key;
    int value;
    Node pre;
    Node next;
 
    public Node(int key, int value){
        this.key = key;
        this.value = value;
    }
}

public class LRUCache {
    int capacity;
    HashMap<Integer, Node> map = new HashMap<Integer, Node>();
    Node head=null;
    Node end=null;
 
    public LRUCache(int capacity) {
        this.capacity = capacity;
    }
 
    public int get(int key) {
        if(map.containsKey(key)){
            Node n = map.get(key);
            remove(n);
            setHead(n);
            return n.value;
        }
 
        return -1;
    }
 
    public void remove(Node n){
        if(n.pre!=null){
            n.pre.next = n.next;
        }else{
            head = n.next;
        }
 
        if(n.next!=null){
            n.next.pre = n.pre;
        }else{
            end = n.pre;
        }
 
    }
 
    public void setHead(Node n){
        n.next = head;
        n.pre = null;
 
        if(head!=null)
            head.pre = n;
 
        head = n;
 
        if(end ==null)
            end = head;
    }
 
    public void set(int key, int value) {
        if(map.containsKey(key)){
            Node old = map.get(key);
            old.value = value;
            remove(old);
            setHead(old);
        }else{
            Node created = new Node(key, value);
            if(map.size()>=capacity){
                map.remove(end.key);
                remove(end);
                setHead(created);
 
            }else{
                setHead(created);
            }    
 
            map.put(key, created);
        }
    }
}
