Interview Prompt

We have event logs as pairs of a 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' timestamp and an event label. Return a dict of hour buckets, where each hour maps to how many times each event label occurred during it.

Summary

Logs slotted into buckets.

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
