Easy data structure and algorithm practice puzzle.
Given a string, return it backwards. Walk from the last character to the first and add each one to a new string. Heads up for real code: some characters, like emoji, are stored as more than one piece, and reversing the pieces can break them.
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 Document Typeahead, a pipeline you can run and download. See every Software Engineer project.
