How to Interview Engineers

I highly doubt I would ask if the inputs are sorted. I wouldn't expect them to be (why would they be, after all?), and I'd probably just give a solution that works regardless.

I agree. Also, since we're talking about two entries here, there really isn't much work to do...

One could even argue that relying on the order of the items in this case is going to result in a worse design overall (it's one additional thing the caller can get wrong).

I think you just received some good interview advice, unintentionally.

Not for interviewing for a company with reasonable interview practices.
