Loop Through an Array | Dataford Interview Questions

Dynatrace OneAgent can collect response-time measurements for requests handled by a service. Given an array of response times and a threshold, count how many requests took longer than the threshold.

Implement a function that scans the array once and returns the count of values strictly greater than threshold.

Formal Specification

Input: response_times, an array of integers, and threshold, an integer.
Output: An integer representing the number of response times greater than threshold.
A response time equal to the threshold is not counted.
The input array must not be modified.

Constraints

0 <= len(response_times) <= 10^5
0 <= response_times[i] <= 10^9
0 <= threshold <= 10^9
The input array must not be modified

Function Signature

def count_slow_requests(response_times, threshold):
