Question

Given a sorted list of distinct integers nums (ascending), return a list of strings summarizing the consecutive ranges. A run of consecutive integers a..b with a < b is written 'a->b'; a single integer a is written just as 'a'. For example [0,1,2,4,5,7] returns ['0->2','4->5','7']. The list may be empty (return []).

Implement

summarize_ranges(nums: list[int]) → list[str]

Examples

in[[0,1,2,4,5,7]]out["0->2","4->5","7"]

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.
