Hey friends!

Welcome back! I hope you had a great week. I hiked for the second weekend in a row and my feet hate me. But at least the internet is cozy. Onward!

Something that interested me this week

This past week I got a brand new LEGO set that I'm super excited to build! I think I'm going to livestream the build process. I haven't actually livestreamed anything formally at home before so I'll have to figure out how to set up my space so that you can see what I'm doing and how to not take up the entire kitchen. We'll see how that goes.

My sister Cami and I used to play with LEGOs all the time growing up. We didn't play video games as kids (we have made up for that as adults), so LEGOs were our main source of fun. We would build and play for hours and hours, and would dream of having a LEGO room in our houses one day.

When I opened the box this past week, a childlike yelp came out of me, I couldn't help it! It felt like a dream come true getting to play with such a big, cool set, and the first step to having a real LEGO room. :)
 

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you write a function that returns the longest number in a string. We got three great submissions here, here, and here!

This week's question:
Given a set (as a string), print all subsets of it. The subsets can be printed in any order.

Example:
printSubsets('abc')
> "", "a", "b", "c", "ab", "ac", "bc", "abc"

Bonus points: do it recursively!

Joke

That’s a nice ham you've got there... it'd be a shame if someone put an 's' at the front, and an 'e' at the end...
 
That's all for now, friends! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and compliment someone today.
