🪝 "To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk." - Thomas A. Edison

Something that interested me this week

This week, some of my coworkers came into town! I had never met them in person before, and we had a blast eating food, talking shop, and singing a lot of karaoke. It’s so strange to think that some of the relationships I’ve grown the most in the past year and a half have been entirely virtual ones.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you return well-formed parenthesis. Great work Les, Leyan, Lenz, Jesper, Deepak, Roman, Sophie, Ten, Gabor, David, Karim, Rafael, Marcin, Dhaval, Rachel, and Faisal!

This week’s question:
Given a string of HTML, detect and print all the HTML tags, attributes and values of attributes.

Example:

$ parseHTML(`<p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/LSG9xg3.jpeg" /></p>`)
$ [{ tag: 'p' }, { tag: 'img', attributes: [{'src': 'https://i.imgur.com/LSG9xg3.jpeg'}] }]
