Something that interested me this week

I had a ton of meetings this week and felt kind of underwater, I admit. But, I had a good time seeing a bunch of folks I haven't seen in a while! In the time between meetings, I wrote about combining my blog and website! In case you missed it last week, I open sourced it all for your cloning pleasure. Go forth and write!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you find a maximum product! Awesome job Louis, Altamish, Muhammad, Ankit, Pozorvlak, Sean, Ryan, Miguel, Gu, Amine, Mazen, Leyan, Kyle, Chase, John, Nikhil, John, and Ten!

This week's question:
The Spanish language uses inverted punctuation marks (¿ and ¡) in interrogative and exclamatory sentences. Write a function that takes in a string str, and adds ¿ and ¡ if they're needed. You can ignore exclamations in the middle of a sentence for this problem.

Example:

> fixInvertedPunc("Feliz cumpleaños!")
> "¡Feliz cumpleaños!"

> fixInvertedPunc("Ella ya se graduó de la universidad? ¡No!")
> "¿Ella ya se graduó de la universidad? ¡No!"
