Interview Prompt

Our monitoring pipeline emits log lines shaped like '[LEVEL] message', and not all of them survive the trip: some arrive empty, with no brackets, or otherwise garbled. From a batch of those lines, return how often each level appears and which level appears most.

Summary

Some lines repeat themselves.

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
