Math Decision Making Simulation
Intermediate Level

Implement the rateLimiterAllowRequest method that checks whether a request is allowed under a simple rate limit.

The input contains an array times, its length size, a current timestamp, and a request limit. The array represents the previous requests that are already counted in the current rate-limit window.

Your task is to decide whether the new request should be allowed. Allow it only when the number of previous counted requests is less than the limit. If the limit is already reached, return false.

Example 1
Input:
times (int[]) = [1,2,3]
size (int) = 3
current (int) = 4
limit (int) = 3
Return:
(boolean) false
Example 2
Input:
times (int[]) = [1,2]
size (int) = 2
current (int) = 3
limit (int) = 3
Return:
(boolean) true
Example 3
Input:
times (int[]) = [10,11,12]
size (int) = 3
current (int) = 13
limit (int) = 2
Return:
(boolean) false

This simplified rate limiter assumes that times already contains only the requests relevant to the current window.

So the decision is based on the number of existing requests. If size is smaller than limit, the current request can be accepted. Otherwise, accepting it would exceed the allowed request count.

The current value represents the timestamp of the new request and is part of the input context, but no extra window filtering is required for this simplified version.

Pseudocode:

function rateLimiterAllowRequest(times, size, current, limit):
    if size < limit:
        return true
    return false
