Interview Prompt

Write a function that recursively merges two nested dicts. For any key present in both, if both values are dicts recurse deeper; otherwise the override value wins. Return the merged result without mutating the inputs.

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
