Interview Prompt

We're monitoring a batch of integer sensor readings that arrive in order, and we need the running peak: the highest value seen so far after each reading. Return one peak-so-far value per reading.

Summary

Scan the list. Report the max.

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
