Question

Parse a URL into its components. Given a URL string, return a list [scheme, host, port, path, query, fragment]. The host must exclude any userinfo (user:pw@). The port must be the integer port if present, otherwise -1. The path, query, and fragment are empty strings when absent. Assume the URL is well-formed and uses standard syntax.

Implement

parse_url(url: str) → list

Examples

in["https://user:pw@example.com:8080/a/b?x=1&y=2#frag"]out["https","example.com",8080,"/a/b","x=1&y=2","frag"]

What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.

Learn the concepts

Vibe coding: describe the solution in plain language (or narrate it) and the coach grades your approach. Generating runnable code from your description is coming next.

Run or narrate your approach, then ask the coach.
