Interview Prompt

A linked sequence is stored as a flat array `next_indices`: the value in each slot is the index of the next slot to visit, or -1 to mark the end. Starting from slot 0 and following these pointers, report whether the walk ever returns to a slot it has already visited. A pointer of -1, or one that falls outside the array, ends the walk rather than closing a loop.

Summary

Follow the chain long enough and it might loop back.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write your python solution with real code execution
  4. Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
