Interview Prompt

An expression validator receives short strings built only from the bracket characters `()[]{}` and has to confirm each one is well-formed before it moves downstream. A string passes when every opening bracket is closed by one of the same type in the correct order.

Summary

Not all openings have a closing.

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
