Hey friends!
Welcome back! I hope you had a great week. Mine was busy, as usual. I started watching the show Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and it's super intense. I've never watched a full, legitimate anime before (outside of Pokémon, of course), and it's been a great experience so far! Anyway, let's boogie.

Something that interested me this week
This past weekend, my husband Joe and I went salsa dancing in Seattle! It was so fun. I used to dance a lot when I was in college, but haven't kept it up much since, so I'm pretty rusty at the moment. Joe doesn't really have experience outside of the events I've brought him to, so it was a learning experience for the both of us. :)
That being said, the internet is at our side! I found
this great video for learning the basics, and we've been figuring out how to do it ourselves ever since. Fun fact, we "choreographed" (if you can call it that) our wedding dance by watching just tons of YouTube videos, picking out our favorite moves, and pushing them all together. Technology is amazing.

Interview question of the week
Had some solid answers to last week's question about printing string subsets! Stuart
wrote his in Kotlin, andÂ
Charles wrote a great answer in Python:
s= 'legos_rock'
def recursive(s, b, v):
if len(s) > 0:
recursive(s[1:], b + s[0], v)
recursive(s[1:], b, v)
v.append(b + s[0])
return v
print(recursive(s, '', ['']))
Here's this week's question!
Given dimensions of a rectangle n and m, return the number of identical squares that can fit inside the rectangle.
For example:
squaresInRect(6,9)
> 6 // each of size 3x3

Joke
I have an imaginary friend, but she keeps making fun of me. She keeps saying, "at least I have a real friend!"

That's all for this week, friends! Hope you have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and always check your blind spot.
Also, thank you for your replies. They're wonderful, and I read every single one of them. And thanks again for being a part of this!
