Interview Prompt

You're rolling up raw feed-handler log lines in `lines`, each a CSV row of `date,process,host,log_message,bytes`. Total the bytes per day and per exchange within each day, and return both rollups together, the per-day totals first.

Summary

Every trade left a footprint.

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
