Interview Prompt

Given a list of event dicts (each with 'user_id', 'event_type', 'amount'), pivot so each user becomes one dict with 'user_id' plus one column per distinct event_type summing the amounts. Return a list of per-user dicts. Missing event_types for a user are 0. Sort the list by user_id ascending.

Summary

Rows become columns. Columns become power.

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
