Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Calculate tokens added in 2 seconds
Refill rate is 1 token per second, so 2 seconds add 2 tokens.Step 2: Add tokens to current and check max limit
Current tokens = 1 + 2 = 3, which equals max_tokens, so bucket is full.Final Answer:
3 tokens -> Option AQuick Check:
Tokens capped at max_tokens [OK]
Quick Trick: Tokens refill but never exceed max capacity [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Ignoring max_tokens limit
- Not adding refill tokens
- Subtracting tokens incorrectly
