Hello friends!

I hope you all had a cozy week! Mine was great, I got a lot of coding (...and Fortnite) done. Let's boogie.

Something that interested me this week

This past week was my birthday! I gathered friends and family to watch Full Metal Alchemist with me while we ate Cheetos and Oreos and cheeses. It was awesome.

Interview question of the week

Last week I had you write a day-offset function! We had a TON of responses! Nice work Derek, Sophie, Stephen, Tom, Dylan, Garrett, Hatem, Sergio, John, Jesper, Dave, Daniel, Leslie, Javorszky, Quentin, Gabriel, Eric, Pablo, Tan, Ilya, Tina, Chris, Mohd, Andre, Angel, and re:fi.64!

This week's question:
Write a function that takes in a string of valid JSON and converts it to an object (or whatever your chosen language uses, dicts, maps, etc).

Example input for testing:
fakeParseJSON('{ "data": { "fish": "cake", "array": [1,2,3], "children": [ { "something": "else" }, { "candy": "cane" }, { "sponge": "bob" } ] } } ')

Joke

My friend keeps saying, "cheer up, buddy, it could be worse, you could be stuck underground in a hole full of water."
I know she means well.
That's all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and get your goals done!
