Hey friends!

Welcome back! I hope your week was productive and good. Mine was suuuper busy and now the air in Seattle is quite smoky, but we're hanging in there!

Let's boogie!

Something that interested me this week

I made a little Game Boy cartridge CodePen this week! I hadn't done CSS art in a little while, and I had so much fun getting back into it. I streamed how I made it on Twitch this past week, as well!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you convert a sentence into Pig Latin! Oodgay objay Ten, Ali, Rizwan, 40arc, Kyle, Sibi, Jesse, Matthew, Nicolas, Ivana, Mike, Rafael, Will, Jacob, Eleanor, and Namrata!

This week's question:
Given an array of increasing integers, find the length of the longest fibonacci-like subsequence of the array. If one does not exist, return 0. A sequence is "fibonacci-like" if X_i + X_{i+1} = X_{i+2}.

Example:

$ fibonacciLike([1,3,7,11,12,14,18])
$ 3 // these sequences: [1,11,12], [3,11,14] or [7,11,18]

Joke

I was going to tell a time traveling joke, but you all didn't like it.


That's all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and keep wearing your masks.
