Interview Prompt
Two strings pulled from a character-substituted log are lined up position by position, `s` against `t`. Return whether `s` could become `t` by replacing characters, where every occurrence of a given character is always replaced by the same character.
Summary
A consistent substitution, or not.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write and run your Python against test cases
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
