Interview Prompt

Our search indexer assigns a unique shard key based on the first non-repeated character in a string. Write a function called first_unique_char that takes a string and returns the first character appearing exactly once. Return an empty string if every character repeats.

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
