This is a mock Python Interview with a Microsoft engineer, where the prospective candidate must tackle a [Hard] Python Question. The question, "Currency Conversion", requires candidates to take given parameters (array of conversion rates) and find the conversion rate that maps to the 'from' currency to the 'to' currency for every single query. Although easy sounding at first, this can prove to be quite tricky! This solution is done using a bidirectional weighted graph and the BFS method. Keep an eye out for how the candidate deals with edge cases and breaks down the overall problem!
