Clarify and Solve JS Array Task

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

How would you handle a coding task that is about JS array operations when the prompt is brief?

For this SQL version, state the assumptions needed to make the operation testable, then return the transformed values for active tasks whose operation is double_positive: keep positive values, double them, preserve position order, and ignore NULL values.

Output

  1. One row per active double_positive task, with task_id, task_name, and transformed_values.
  2. Include an empty integer array when a qualifying task has no positive values.
  3. Sort by task_id ascending.
