Hello friends!

I hope you had a great week. I had a busy one with Next.js Conf and other work stuff (and spooky things), and ended up taking off a couple days to catch up with everything.

Americans, make sure you vote this week! Onwards!

This past week I spoke at Next.js Conf! It was a little hectic getting prepared for it, but I’m glad we made it through.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you sort integers based on the number of 1s in their binary representation. Amazing job Vanessa, William, Roman, Rafael, Roberto, Leslie, John, Jay, David, Clov, Rizwan, Sam, Nicolas, Timur, Dhanush, Andrew, Duncan, Lenz, Mike, Matteo, 40arc, Jeff, Jonathan, Randy, Bill, Pozorvlak, and Ten!

This week’s question:
You have a character who jumps forward n number of units at a time, and an array representing the road in front of them (where 0 is a flat piece of road, and 1 is an obstacle). Return true or false if your character can jump to the end without hitting an obstacle in front of them.

Examples:

$ characterJump(3, [0,1,0,0,0,1,0])
$ true // no hits

$ characterJump(4, [0,1,1,0,1,0,0,0,0])
$ false // hits obstacle at position 4

People who don’t understand the difference between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can’t put into words.

That’s all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and VOTE!
