Interview Prompt

We're building a compact product listing that shows each product's ID next to a short abbreviation of its name. Return the product ID and the first three characters of the product name.

Summary

Just the first three characters. That is all.

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 SQL against a real database
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
