Interview Prompt
Values read from a loosely typed field in our JSON event payloads arrive as one mixed list, and downstream only wants the integers from it.
Summary
A mixed list is hiding its numbers - extract them.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write and run your Python against test cases
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
