Interview Prompt

Chapter and volume markers in a scanned-archive export come through as Roman numeral strings, written with I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500 and M=1000. Convert a marker to the integer it stands for.

Summary

Roman numerals decoded.

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
