Detect Missing Coding Requirements | Dataford Interview Questions

Write a function to solve a specific coding problem for WyzAnt.

The prompt does not provide the algorithmic requirements, input format, or expected output, so the function must identify that clarification is required rather than inventing behavior. Implement solve_coding_problem(problem_statement), returning "clarification_required" for an empty or nonspecific request and "ready_to_implement" when the statement includes an explicit input, output, and task description.

Input is a string. Output is one of the two specified strings.

Constraints

0 <= len(problem_statement) <= 10^5
problem_statement is a string
Return exactly "clarification_required" or "ready_to_implement"

Function Signature

def solve_coding_problem(problem_statement):
