Interview Prompt

A reconciliation job pairs up transaction amounts that offset to a fixed `target`. Given a list `nums` of integers and an integer `target`, return the `[x, y]` pairs that sum to `target`.

Summary

Pairs that hit a target. Every one of them.

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
