Hey friends!

I hope you had a great week. I am in the thick of moving, surrounded by boxes as I type, which is both stressful and really exciting! Onwards!

Something that interested me this week

This past week I shipped a little demo using Astro and Shopify’s updated Storefront API! It was a fun project to work on. My entire team decided to see what we could do with the exact same serverless functions and styles, but different frameworks. I wrote up how to build your own here, and you can also see the repo and demo here! Linked in the blog post are my teammates’ demos as well, which makes for some good comparisons if you’re not sure which framework to pick for your next project.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you find continuous subarrays having a given sum. Awesome work Artem, Jesper, David, Dominic, Ten, Leyan, Rahmat, Vivek, Brian, Ricardo, Carlos, Ezell, Les, Sibi, Craig, and Rafael!

This week’s question:
Given a positive integer n, write a function that finds the number of zeros at the end of n! in base 10.

Example:

$ zerosEndingFactorial(1)
$ 0

$ zerosEndingFactorial(5)
$ 1

$ zerosEndingFactorial(100)
$ 24
