Interview Prompt

Given entries (list of 'filepath size_bytes timestamp' strings), sum size_bytes per file extension (everything after the last '.' in the filename). Files without an extension (no '.' in basename) are grouped under the key 'no_extension'. Return a dict mapping each extension (or 'no_extension') to the total size.

Summary

File types and their disk footprint. One type dominates.

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
