Interview Prompt

Our ID allocation system needs to find gaps in assigned ID sequences. Write a function called nth_missing that takes a sorted list of unique positive integers and an integer n, and returns the nth positive integer not in the list.

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
