Something that interested me this week

I have been on the most busy trip this week, visiting my in-laws on a farm in the mountains in South Korea (with incredibly limited Wi-Fi, which has been a blessing and a curse), and introducing them to my toddler and my parents! We're in Seoul now, and whew, it's been a blast... and also one of the more exhausting trips I've ever been on! Packing in family dynamics, tourism, various modes of transportation, a language barrier, and so much food, all while managing a baby, is a lot, but I'll certainly never forget this week!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you find the missing ingredients in recipes! Great work Mike, Kyle, Kostas, Alison, Ricardo, Muhammad, Connor, Amine, Schalk, Nick, Jeremias, Josh, nichoth, Ten, and Ashish!

This week's question:
Write a function that generates a valid SVG string for a circle given its radius, center position, and color.

Examples:

generateCircle(radius = 50, center = (100, 100), color = "blue")
"<svg width='200' height='200'><circle cx='100' cy='100' r='50' fill='blue'/>svg>"

generateCircle(radius = 30, center = (75, 50), color = "red")
"<svg width='150' height='100'><circle cx='75' cy='50' r='30' fill='red'/>svg>"
