Something that interested me this week
I got a new desktop computer this past week! Well, "new" as in I bought part of it used from someone and added other stuff to it. So it's new to me. Anyway! I'm super excited about it! I haven't had a desktop in ages, and I'm really excited to use it for live-streaming, 3D modeling, and of course, playing games.

Interview question of the week
Last week, I had you implement integer division without / or %. We had great answers from Garth in Perl and Crystal (
here and
here), from Stuart
in TypeScript, from Sophie
in JavaScript, from Mike
in Python, and from Kyle
in Ruby! So many different languages! I absolutely loved seeing the variety.
This week's question:
Given an array of integers, find the maximum range between two elements in the array.
Examples:
> maxRange([2,2,1,3])
> 2
>
maxRange([0])
> 0
> maxRange([4,3,5,7,1,7,7,6])
> 6

Joke
When I read the letters H-I in the alphabet, I thought I made a friend! But then I read the next two letters.
That's all for now, folks! Have a great rest of your week. Be safe, make good choices, and proofread.
