Interview Prompt

Given items = [], print the first item if the list is non-empty, otherwise print 'empty'. Use a guard clause (early return pattern) inside a function called first_or_empty(items).

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
