I asked someone a similar question in an interview once. They weren’t doing well and I wanted to end on a positive at least. I asked them to make a dict in python and for extra credit, turn it into a string using whatever library or method they want.
This was not for a junior position.
5 minutes of for loop insanity later they disconnected crying. I always felt bad for that guy.
Ugh, terrible memory unlocked.

cat = dict(name=‘Garfield’, color=‘orange’) str(cat)Can I have that job?
I would have accepted this answer.
I was hoping for json.dumps, but that’ll work.
When imposter syndrome meets an actual imposter!
Subtle hint that this is not for them.
Is casting it to str allowed?
