rendezvous with cassidoo

Hello friends!

I hope you had a great week! I went to Las Vegas for the first time for a bachelorette party and won $11. It was very exciting. But not as exciting as the world of web development.

Something that interested me this week

This past week I went to a developer relations meetup! It was a fun time, a bunch of people were in town for the Microsoft Build conference. Plus, I got to see some old friends from my dev evangelism days, and some people I had only known on the internet before! Also my cousin Samantha (also a dev) and I sang karaoke, which is always a good time. :) 
 

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you calculate the angles in an n pointed star. Tom sent in an efficient Java solution!
private static double starAngles(int n) {
  return (double)(n - 4) * 180 / n;
}

This week's question:
Given two arrays, return all pairs (where each number is in each array) whose sum is an odd number.

Examples:
oddSum([9, 14, 6, 2, 11], [8, 4, 7, 20])
> [9, 20], [14, 7], [11,8]

oddSum([2, 4, 6, 8], [10, 12, 14])
> null (or whatever falsy value you prefer)

That's all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and don't litter.
