Medium data structure and algorithm practice puzzle.
Given a list of readings, return the root mean square, rounded to 3 decimals. Square every reading, take the average of the squares, then take the square root. Squaring first is the point. A signal that swings up and down averages out to near 0, but its RMS still shows how strong it is.
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 Ledger Balancer, a pipeline you can run and download. See every Software Engineer project.
