Interview Prompt

A driver toggles availability throughout a shift, and our status export logs each online stretch as a `[start, end]` pair of timestamps in seconds (carrying sub-second fractions), unsorted and frequently overlapping because a flaky app reconnects mid-session. Collapse these into the distinct windows the driver was actually online, treating two stretches that overlap or meet exactly end-to-end as one continuous window. Return the windows sorted by start time.

Summary

Two sessions that overlap are really one. Find the windows a driver was actually online.

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
