The function should take a list of integers as input and return the sum of the integers in the list that are divisible by 3.
About this solution: The candidate's solution correctly returns the sum of the integers in the list that are divisible by 3. The candidate has used a for loop to iterate through the list and check if each integer is divisible by 3. If it is, the integer is added to the sum. This is a valid approach to solving the problem.

The problem is to find the indices of two numbers in a list of integers that add up to a given target value. An example input would be [2, 7, 11, 15] with a target value of 9, and the expected output would be [0, 1].
About this solution: The candidate's solution is complete and solves the problem. The candidate's approach is to create a dictionary to store the difference between the target and the current number as the key and the index of the current number as the value. If the current number is in the dictionary, the candidate returns the index of the current number and the value of the key. Otherwise, the candidate adds the difference between the target and the current number as the key and the index of the current number as the value.

The technical problem is to write a Python script to return a dictionary containing the count of each unique integer in a given list. For example, given the list [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4], the expected output would be {1: 3, 2: 2, 3: 3, 4: 4}.
About this solution: The candidate's solution correctly solves the problem and is fairly straightforward. However, it could be more concise. For example, the candidate could use a defaultdict instead of a regular dictionary, which would eliminate the need for the initial if statement. Additionally, the candidate could use a Counter object from the collections module, which would make the solution even more concise.
