Question
Process a chronologically ordered list of events. Each event is `['hit', ts]` recording a hit at timestamp `ts` (seconds), or `['get', ts]` asking how many hits occurred in the most recent 300-second window, i.e. with timestamp strictly greater than `ts - 300` (the window is `(ts-300, ts]`). Timestamps are non-decreasing. Return the list of answers, one per `get` event, in order.
hit_counter(events: list[list]) → list[int][[["hit",1],["hit",2],["hit",3],["get",4]]]out[3]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.
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.
