Interview Prompt

The scoring engine in our sandboxed execution environment needs a custom max function. Write a function that finds and returns the maximum value in a list of numbers without the built-in max(). Return None if the list is empty.

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
