Helllooo!

I’m currently mid-road trip across the US as my husband and I are moving to Chicago! It’s been a long drive but seeing all of the sights across the country so far has been really beautiful.

Anyway, internet!

Something that interested me this week

Outside of getting all set up for moving, I also finalized my Kickstarter project, Go: On the Go! this week!! If you’ll recall, I started this project this past January (gosh that feels like a lifetime ago), and I’m so excited to have everything shipped out and settled. There were a bunch of delays with that project because of coronavirus cancelling nearly everything I originally planned for. It’s been really wonderful seeing people getting their sets, and I can’t wait to see more people play!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you figure out asteroid collisions. Great job Jay, Rizwan, Ali, Gabor, Rafael, Jagadish, Pozorvlak, Anthony, Mustafa, Tim, Max, Soma, William, Mike, and Ten!

This week’s question:
Given an array of people objects (where each person has a name and a number of pizza slices they’re hungry for) and a number for the number of slices that the pizza can be sliced into, return the number of pizzas you need to buy.

Example:

$ arr = [{ name: Joe, num: 9 }, { name: Cami, num: 3 }, { name: Cassidy, num: 4 }]
$ gimmePizza(arr, 8)
$ 2 // 16 slices needed, pizzas can be sliced into 8 pieces, so 2 pizzas should be ordered
