For starters use an LLM. I was told there would be two different questions depending on if you use an LLM, that is a lie. You're given a list of doordash employees that make a certain amount per hour as well as how long they work. Part 1: Create a function to compute the total amount of money all the dashers make Part 2: You now want to pay these door dashers by the hour. Add a new function so you can pay people hourly. I.e if i'm working 12-10pm and we want to pay all dashers that have worked before 5pm, this dashers pay should be included. Also consider how you can cache this info instead of repeating Overall the recruiter was incredibly unreliable and made this process more difficult than needed to be
