Something that interested me this week

This week was one of the more personally challenging ones for me. I don’t want to get into it so I will leave it at: hug your loved ones. If you care about someone, tell them, and call them!

Outside of that, my Scrabble keycap set is making a return! Folks who have been around here for a while know that I designed this keycap set back in 2017, sold it in early 2018, and I’ve been trying to make it come back. I’m really excited to have it back with refreshed fonts and colors, and it’ll be sold soon.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you find the number of one digits given a number. This one was so interesting and subtly challenging, I loved seeing all of the solutions! Hristiyan wrote a really cool blog post here about how to solve it. And for the solvers, great work Sreetam, Aodhan, Will, Ryan, Eric, Muhammad, Kelvin, Garth, Saad, Ten, June, Vanessa, Chuan, Sophie, Zamar, Jagadish, Ciarán, Will, Theodore, Philip, Lucien, Chase, Gülşah, Leyan, Andrew, Mo, Ryan, Clov, Sofi, Don, Samu, Karla, Kyle, and Lucia!

This week’s question:
Given a list, swap every two adjacent nodes. Something to think about: How would your code change if this were a linked list, versus an array?

Example:

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

> swapPairs([])
> []
