Interview Prompt

Records in a pipeline's transform step carry a `value` that is either a number or text. Given the `records` and an operation name (`double`, `square`, `abs`, `upper` or `lower`), return each record with a new `result` field holding the transformed value.

Summary

Name the operation, apply it everywhere.

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
