Interview Prompt

A priority queue validator needs to check that all high-priority tokens were processed before any low-priority tokens. Given a string and two characters a and b, return True if every occurrence of character a appears before every occurrence of character b. Empty strings and strings without both characters return True.

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
