Interview Prompt

A monitoring export hands you `nums`, a sequence of per-interval integer deltas that can be positive, negative, or zero. Count how many contiguous stretches of `nums` sum to exactly `k`.

Summary

Somewhere in the stream, the deltas balance to your number. Count the runs that do.

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
