Increasing-Scope Coding Set | Dataford Interview Questions

How would you approach a sequence of three coding questions that increase in scope, complexity, and length?

Implement the ordering portion of that approach. Each question is a dictionary with a unique name, integer scope, and list of prerequisite question names. Return the question names in an order that satisfies all prerequisites and has strictly increasing scope, or return [] if no valid sequence exists.

Use def plan_coding_sequence(questions):. The input contains exactly three question dictionaries, and the output is a list of names.

Constraints

questions contains exactly three dictionaries
Each dictionary contains name, scope, and prerequisites
Names are strings and should be unique
Scopes are integers
Prerequisites contain question names
A valid result must have strictly increasing scope values

Function Signature

def plan_coding_sequence(questions):

Your question is Increasing-Scope Coding Set. Start with the requirements in the Question tab.

Run and submit as often as you like. When you're ready, talk me through your approach or go straight to the code.
