Interview Prompt

Given old_schema and new_schema (each a list of {'name', 'type'} dicts), return a dict with: 'added' (list of column names in new only), 'removed' (list of column names in old only), 'type_changed' (list of {'name', 'old_type', 'new_type'} dicts where the same column name has different types). Sort each list by name ascending.

Summary

Schema from yesterday vs today. Something changed.

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
