Problem Overview

Databricks coding question, reconstructed from 8 candidate reports (February 2025 to August 2026). Tests: intervals and sweep lines. Candidates reported 4 follow-ups. The write-up includes a Python solution that passes 10 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
