Interview Prompt

Write a function that finds the maximum value in a list of integers without using Python's built-in max() function or any sorting function. Your solution must work in linear time and handle edge cases like a single-element list.

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
