Solution outline (coding)
Focus on the Review pattern. Start by writing out a few examples by hand, then identify the invariant you must maintain (e.g., prefix sums, window bounds, visited set, heap ordering). Aim for an implementation you can explain in under a minute, including time and space complexity.

For all hard-style metrics tables above, create a BigQuery job that snapshots KPIs daily and supports A/B tests on algorithm variants via side-by-side metrics.
How to approach (SQL)
Break the prompt into steps:
- Identify source tables, required joins, and filters (especially on time partitions).
- Decide where you need GROUP BY vs. window functions (e.g.,
ROW_NUMBER,SUM() OVER,COUNT() OVER). - For BigQuery, think about partitioning and clustering to avoid unnecessary full scans.
- Write the query in stages (CTEs) so each step is easy to debug and reason about. Finish by checking edge cases: nulls, late events, duplicated keys, and extreme values.
