Interview Prompt
Our distributed query engine merges sorted result shards from multiple nodes. Write a function that takes two already-sorted lists and returns a single sorted list containing all elements - without using the built-in sort, since we need the O(n) merge guarantee.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write your python solution with real code execution
- Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
