Question

A league's box-score feed has one row per player per team as "team,player,points" (points a non-negative integer; each player appears once). Return a dictionary mapping each team to the highest single-player points on that team. Example: ["hawks,ava,22", "hawks,raj,31", "owls,mia,18"] gives {"hawks": 31, "owls": 18}.

Implement

team_best(rows: list[str]) → dict[str,int]

Examples

in[["hawks,ava,22","hawks,raj,31","owls,mia,18"]]out{"owls":18,"hawks":31}

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.
