Interview Prompt

A weather station logs one high-temperature reading per day, in recording order, and you get them as the list `temps`. For each day, return how many days you'd wait until a warmer reading shows up later in the log.

Summary

Patience has a price - and a count.

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
