Medium data structure and algorithm practice puzzle.
Given readings and a low and high limit, return how many readings fall between them. Both limits count, so a reading exactly on low or high is inside. Walk the readings once and count the ones that are both at least low and at most high.
Solve it three ways: snap the jigsaw pieces together, fill in the blanks, or type it from scratch against the tests. This one is free.
Every line of the solution comes with a note explaining why it is there, and a step by step replay shows the code running. At level 3, where you type it yourself, you can ask for an AI mock interview on this problem that ends with a hiring manager's scorecard.
Then grow it into a real project with the Software Engineer button: this puzzle becomes the Event Integrity Check, a pipeline you can run and download. See every Software Engineer project.
