Something that interested me this week

I had a busy week this week, starting with a panel discussion about jobs on the r/webdev Discord, did some podcast recordings, and also did my usual Thursday stream! Something that changed it up though: After my stream, I jumped over to Gonzalo Pozzo's stream afterwards... in Spanglish! We had been talking for a while about doing a stream where he spoke Spanish and I spoke English (we both understand the other language). It was a really fun time!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you return if an IP address is in a given range! Great work Gabor, Jesper, Dominic, Augustin, Tan, Leyan, Ten, Daniel, Andrew, Ben, Jay, Les, Craig, and Ivana, Rafael!

This week's question:
Given an unsorted array of integers and a number n, find the number of continuous subarrays having sum exactly equal n. Return -1 if none exist.

Example:

$ subarraySum([10 , 2, -2, -20, 10], -10)
$ 3 // arr[0...3], arr[1...4], arr[3...4]
