Interview Prompt

A catalog service segments products into price brackets before it renders them. Given `prices`, a dict mapping product names to prices, return a dict mapping each name to its bracket: 'low' for anything under 10, 'mid' for anything under 50, and 'high' otherwise.

Summary

Different prices, different treatment.

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
