Parsing corrupted logs
Your app writes a network log file. Each line has the format userID(4 digits) pageName startTime(hh:mm:ss) endTime(hh:mm:ss), but some lines are corrupted. How would you design a function that keeps only valid lines and finds the 2 pages that loaded slowest? How do you handle the broken lines?
How would an interviewer hear this answer? You'll see whether they'd move on, dig in, or say no, and which sentences would trip you up. Your score doesn't change.
