# Time:  O(klogu), k is most recently number of tweets,
#                  u is the number of the user's following.
# Space: O(t + f), t is the total number of tweets,
#                  f is the total number of followings.

# Design a simplified version of Twitter where users can post tweets,
# follow/unfollow another user and is able to see the 10 most recent
# tweets in the user's news feed. Your design should support the following methods:
#
# postTweet(userId, tweetId): Compose a new tweet.
# getNewsFeed(userId): Retrieve the 10 most recent tweet ids in the user's
# news feed. Each item in the news feed must be posted by users who the user followed
# or by the user herself. Tweets must be ordered from most recent to least recent.
# follow(followerId, followeeId): Follower follows a followee.
# unfollow(followerId, followeeId): Follower unfollows a followee.
# Example:
#
# Twitter twitter = new Twitter();
#
# // User 1 posts a new tweet (id = 5).
# twitter.postTweet(1, 5);
#
# // User 1's news feed should return a list with 1 tweet id -> [5].
# twitter.getNewsFeed(1);
#
# // User 1 follows user 2.
# twitter.follow(1, 2);
#
# // User 2 posts a new tweet (id = 6).
# twitter.postTweet(2, 6);
#
# // User 1's news feed should return a list with 2 tweet ids -> [6, 5].
# // Tweet id 6 should precede tweet id 5 because it is posted after tweet id 5.
# twitter.getNewsFeed(1);
#
# // User 1 unfollows user 2.
# twitter.unfollow(1, 2);
#
# // User 1's news feed should return a list with 1 tweet id -> [5],
# // since user 1 is no longer following user 2.
# twitter.getNewsFeed(1);
