Use a Counter to find the most common words in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by
L. Frank Baum.

Available in (mostly) plain text at:

Note: This code also counts the words in the header, so it's not a *realistic*
applicaton, but more of a demonstration of python's Counter.

These are some features. They can be implemented in any order you prefer.

* an elevator responds to calls containing a source floor and direction
* an elevator delivers passengers to requested floors
* an elevator doesn't respond immediately. consider options to simulate time
* elevator calls are queued not necessarily FIFO
* you may validate passenger floor requests
* you may implement current floor monitor
* you may implement direction arrows
* you may implement doors (opening and closing)

Evaluating Team Members

If people want to move, and the leads of those projects deem them qualified, there’s no reason not to allow this.

Deeming someone qualified is a pretty nuanced and difficult process. I wouldn’t expect all or even most temporary tech leads to get it right (or even be close) for a long time.
