Hellllooo!

I hope your week was a good one. Mine was tiring (what else is new?) but I had a good time with family and friends. Let's boogie.

Something that interested me this week

This week was kind of chaotic in the news, but I was mostly disconnected from it while hanging out with my kiddos, seeing relatives, eating with friends, and watching the k-drama Vincenzo (it's weird and very funny). I think it was good for my brain to not be hyperaware of everything!

I did make a tree visualizer (the data structure, not the nature kind), which was pretty fun. Here it is if you want to check it out!

Sponsor

No sponsor this week (the economy, amirite?), but I'm still grateful you're looking here. Have a good week, check out Ductts, check out PocketCal, and dream of a calmer tomorrow.

I'd appreciate deeply if you share this newsletter with your friends, coworkers, or anyone you think might like it. Or who might hate-read it. Or who might just be bored and want another email in their inbox every week.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you sum up neighboring elements in an array! Awesome work Sreetam, Jonathan, Mike, Collin, Miguel, David, Elke, Muhammad, Victor, Gavin, Paul, Amine, Sergio, Ten, Leyan, and Kaartic!

This week's question:
You are given an array of arrays, where each inner array represents the runs scored by each team in an inning of a baseball game: [[home1, away1], [home2, away2], ...]. Write a function that returns an object with the total runs for each team, which innings each team led, and who won the game.

Example:

const innings = [[1, 0], [2, 2], [0, 3], [4, 1]];


> analyzeBaseballGame(innings) 
> {
    homeTotal: 7,
    awayTotal: 6,
    homeLedInnings: [1, 2, 4],
    awayLedInnings: [3],
    winner: "home"
  }
