1. Mean
arithmetic_mean()Asked in screens shaped like: Google, Meta
Given an array of numbers nums, compute the arithmetic mean (average). Return the mean rounded to 2 decimal places.
Examples
Example 1
Input: { "nums": [-10, 5, -3, 8] } Output: 0
Constraints
- 1 <= n <= 10**5, where n is the length of the input
- Input is non-empty
Implement arithmetic_mean(). Types below are the NumPy contract; Python and PyTorch use lists or tensors with the same names.
| Name | Type | I/O |
|---|---|---|
| nums | np.ndarray | Input |
| value | float | Output |
Same tests, three APIs. Pick a language with the chips above the editor.
NumPy
Vectorized arrays. Default for analyst, scientist, and DE screens.
Revealed one at a time. The reference implementation stays in the Solution tab.
Hint 1
Keep the function signature. Fill the body — do not rename parameters.
Hint 2
Match the rounding in the examples. Tests compare with a small numeric tolerance.
Hint 3
Switch NumPy / Python / PyTorch with the chips above the editor. Each language has its own tests.
Run your code to see stdout.
Submit to run the checks.
