Easy data structure and algorithm practice puzzle.
Given two points with any number of coordinates, return the straight-line distance between them, rounded to 3 decimals. Square the difference in each coordinate, add them up, and take the square root. It's the Pythagorean theorem in as many dimensions as you need, so [0, 0] to [3, 4] is 5.
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 Sample Stats Roll-up, a pipeline you can run and download. See every Software Engineer project.
