A recruiter reached out on LinkedIn.

They were very nice and communicated well with me the entire time.

I had a one-hour tech screen with an interviewer who had 2.5 years of experience, less than myself.

They said I could pick any language to use, but my interviewer seemed surprised I picked TypeScript. "Oh wow, my first one"... uhh, okay.

I finished part 1 and part 2, communicated the inputs and outputs, and discussed the solution in pseudocode before programming.

I used split() and regex, and displayed iteration and conditional logic.

I am very unsure what they are looking for at this point.

Accept the language parsing question listed already.
