Interview Prompt

We're checking a simple letter cipher on two lowercase strings `a` and `b` of the same length. Return True if `b` is `a` with every letter moved along the alphabet by the same amount, and False otherwise.

Summary

The key turns. Does it open?

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write and run your Python against test cases
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
