Interview Prompt
An on-call engineer suspects the gain report understates the strongest section of an amplifier chain. Given the per-stage integer gains in chain order, return the largest combined gain of any run of consecutive stages, where a run's gain is the product of its stages.
Summary
Negatives cancel negatives - but only if you keep both in view.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write and run your Python against test cases
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
