Interview Prompt

A data pipeline cleanup utility needs to remove a specific element from the end of a sequence without knowing the list length in advance. Given a list and a positive integer k, return the list with the k-th element from the end removed. If k is out of range, return the original list unchanged.

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
