Evaluate Feature Compatibility Across Versions | Dataford Interview Questions

Given a list of dependency versions (for example: [103.003.02, 103.003.03, 203.003.02]), write a program to evaluate feature compatibility/support across these versions.

Asked in the Technical Screening stage. 75-minute coding round conducted on an online editor platform with runnable test cases.

Implement evaluate_compatibility(versions, requirements).

versions is a list of version strings.
requirements is a list of feature rules, each with feature, min_version, and optional max_version.
Return a list where each element is the sorted list of features supported by the corresponding version.

Version strings may contain leading zeros and 2 to 4 dot-separated numeric parts. Compare versions numerically, padding missing parts with zeros.

Constraints

1 <= len(versions) <= 200
1 <= len(requirements) <= 200
Each version has 2 to 4 numeric parts separated by dots
Each version part is in the range 0 to 999
Feature names are unique
If present, max_version is greater than or equal to min_version

Function Signature
