Hello friends!

I hope you had a great week. I had an incredibly busy one, but luckily the work done last week is starting to pay off already. Let's get scootin!

Something that interested me this week

Honestly, it was such a busy week that I didn't do much "extracurricular" work/reading/etc. I'm hoping that the coming weeks are not nearly as busy as this past one! That being said, I discovered a neat little YouTube series of multiple people producing music based on a single clip, and it was very cool to see how that worked.

Interview question of the week

We had a bunch of responses this week! I had you check if a string is repeated, and we had answers in C, in Java, in Kotlin, and of course, a couple in JavaScript. I hope you had fun with it!

This week's question:
Given a 2D array of letters and a word w, return whether or not the word exists in the array. Letters can be matched horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Example:
w = 'skated';
q = 'feast';
grid[][] = {
  "axmy",
  "bgdf",
  "xtet",
  "raks"
};
validateBoggle(grid, w);
> true
validateBoggle(grid, q);
> false
