Hey friends!

I hope you had a good week! Mine was fairly busy at work, but all good things. My kiddos are finally not sick for the first time in a minute, and I'm VERY grateful!

Anyway, let's learn.

Something that interested me this week

This week was a weird one with Veteran's Day in the U.S. right in the middle of the week, but it was fun too to celebrate my wedding anniversary, see good friends, and hang out with my babies. My toddler is actually starting to play with our 6 month old, which is very exciting, even though it's mostly her pretending to cook while he's sitting there like a blob, but... still!

I also wrote and coded some stuff that isn't public yet, but if you wanna hang out with me on the internet, I'm streaming again on Thursdays! This past week we triaged and worked on some pull requests in the repository for PocketCal!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you merge two arrays! Awesome job Nate, Gavin, Micah, Vincent, Ross, David, Miguel, Ten, Kaartic, Toni, and Juliano,!

This week's question:
Given a positive integer n, write a function that returns an array containing all integers from 1 to n, where each integer i appears exactly i times in the result. For example, 3 should appear 3 times, 5 should appear 5 times, and so on. The order of the integers in the output array does not matter.

Example:

> repeatedIntegers(4)
> [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4]
