Interview Prompt

Given a block of text (a string representing file contents), count how many times each unique word appears. Words should be compared case-insensitively and stripped of punctuation. Return a dictionary mapping each lowercase word to its 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 your python solution with real code execution
  4. Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
