Problem Overview

Databricks coding question, reconstructed from 13 candidate reports (February 2025 to September 2026). Tests: stateful class design; heaps, top-k and greedy scheduling. Candidates reported 4 follow-ups. The write-up includes a Python solution that passes 7 test cases.

  • 4 candidate-reported follow-ups — the probes candidates report being asked, with the trigger for each
  • The full problem statement — full requirements, constraints, and edge cases
  • Approach and trade-offs — what passing candidates did, and the mistakes that sink people
