Something that interested me this week

This past week was spent with family! We had a great time watching shows together (my sister-in-law had never seen Twilight, witnessing her see that series was a treat), playing board games (I've been loving Century: Spice Road), talking code (my husband and I and all of our siblings are all software engineers, what a bunch of nerds), and eating all kinds of Thanksgiving food. It was a great time!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you group anagrams together. Great job Ben, Leyan, Gabor, Will, Dani, Taylor, Thillai, Rogerio, Topher, Rizwan, Don, Brandon, Les, Augustin, Ryan, Katherine, Dan, Chris, Claude, Zoe, Rafael, and Ten!

This week's question:
Given a string containing digits from 2-9, return all possible letter combinations that the number could represent based on phone numbers/letters. For example, 2 could be a, b, or c, 3 could be d, e, or f, and so on.

Example:

$ phoneLetter('9')
$ ['w', 'x', 'y', 'z']

$ phoneLetter('23')
$ ['ad', 'ae', 'af', 'bd', 'be', 'bf', 'cd', 'ce', 'cf']
