: The ID of the page that will be recommended touser_id
.friends_likes

Example 1:
Input: Friendship table: +----------+----------+ | user1_id | user2_id | +----------+----------+ | 1 | 2 | | 1 | 3 | | 1 | 4 | | 2 | 3 | | 2 | 4 | | 2 | 5 | | 6 | 1 | +----------+----------+ Likes table: +---------+---------+ | user_id | page_id | +---------+---------+ | 1 | 88 | | 2 | 23 | | 3 | 24 | | 4 | 56 | | 5 | 11 | | 6 | 33 | | 2 | 77 | | 3 | 77 | | 6 | 88 | +---------+---------+ Output: +---------+---------+---------------+ | user_id | page_id | friends_likes | +---------+---------+---------------+ | 1 | 77 | 2 | | 1 | 23 | 1 | | 1 | 24 | 1 | | 1 | 56 | 1 | | 1 | 33 | 1 | | 2 | 24 | 1 | | 2 | 56 | 1 | | 2 | 11 | 1 | | 2 | 88 | 1 | | 3 | 88 | 1 | | 3 | 23 | 1 | | 4 | 88 | 1 | | 4 | 77 | 1 | | 4 | 23 | 1 | | 5 | 77 | 1 | | 5 | 23 | 1 | +---------+---------+---------------+ Explanation: Take user 1 as an example: - User 1 is friends with users 2, 3, 4, and 6. - Recommended pages are 23 (user 2 liked it), 24 (user 3 liked it), 56 (user 3 liked it), 33 (user 6 liked it), and 77 (user 2 and user 3 liked it). - Note that page 88 is not recommended because user 1 already liked it. Another example is user 6: - User 6 is friends with user 1. - User 1 only liked page 88, but user 6 already liked it. Hence, user 6 has no recommendations. You can recommend pages for users 2, 3, 4, and 5 using a similar process.
