#  I was given about 10 minutes to figure out an exercise that
#  boiled down to merging named tuples
# 
#  Weird thing to expect someone to know.  Certainly anyone who knows this
#  off the top of their head knows a lot about Python.   But not everyone
#  good developer will know this little corner of Python.
#
#  It took me some time inspecting tuples to come up with this approach, slowed
#  by my discomfort with relying on single-underscore members of library objects

Coding challenge.

Create a DataCapture class that queries statistics about an input stream of numbers.

Assume that the input stream consists of positive integers in the range 0 to 1000.

Class must implement the following methods:

    add(n) - add an input element to collection in O(1) time
    build() - create summary information on the collection in O(log(n)) time

# Coding challenge that took me well over an hour for a one-hour limi.
# I started by overbuilding.   Lesson learned is - do minimum viable
# for interview coding challenges!
#
# Sigh.
#
# Challenge is to parse a string representing an arithmetic expression
# and evaluate it without using eval()
