Interview Prompt
Raw sensor `values` arrive in order and are smoothed before alerting, with each reading replaced by the average of that reading and the ones just before it, at most `window_size` readings in all. Given the `window_size` and `values`, return the smoothed stream.
Summary
A narrow timeframe. Everything inside matters.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write and run your Python against test cases
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
