A recruiter reached out to me after I saved a job on LinkedIn. After a quick call to discuss the role and my experience, they scheduled a technical phone screen. They sent prep materials, but they were for the wrong team, and I didn’t realize. The interview prep said to focus on algorithms, so I did.

The technical phone screen was done over Zoom. It included a few short-answer questions, followed by debugging simple vanilla JavaScript code, and then formatting string and object input into a certain output. There were no algorithms whatsoever, but perhaps they would have come in the next round. The interviewers were really nice and made the process easier.

What does this code output? Consider variable scope.
