# --description--
|
|
|
|
Compute the [Root mean square](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root mean square "wp: Root mean square") of the numbers 1 through 10 inclusive.
|
|
|
|
The *root mean square* is also known by its initials RMS (or rms), and as the **quadratic mean**.
|
|
|
|
The RMS is calculated as the mean of the squares of the numbers, square-rooted:
|
|
|
|
$$x\_{\\mathrm{rms}} = \\sqrt {{{x_1}^2 + {x_2}^2 + \\cdots + {x_n}^2} \\over n}. $$
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`rms` should be a function.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof rms === 'function');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`rms([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])` should equal `6.2048368229954285`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.equal(rms(arr1), answer1);
|
|
```
|
|

const arr1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
|
|
const answer1 = 6.2048368229954285;
|
|
```
|

function rms(arr) {

# --solutions--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
function rms(arr) {
|
|
const sumOfSquares = arr.reduce((s, x) => s + x * x, 0);
|
|
return Math.sqrt(sumOfSquares / arr.length);
|
|
}
|
