Interview Prompt

A spam filter needs to identify the first character in a message that appears exactly once, from left to right, to generate a unique fingerprint. Write a function that takes a string and returns the first non-repeated character. Return an empty string if all characters repeat.

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
