Something that interested me this week

This was such a busy week for me, personally, but luckily I got to take a little break and see some fun tech at the 15th annual Seattle Code Camp this morning. My favorite talk was a live-coding one about building a browser extension with Vue.js, and it definitely motivated me to mess more with Vue. So, that being said, I'll keep this short today so you can get cracking on the interview question below. I'm pretty proud of it. Onward!

Interview question of the week

Write a program that schedules projects. Function scheduler() takes in 2 parameters:

• tasks which is an array of pairs that looks like [taskName, numHours], where taskName is the name of the task and numHours is the number of hours the task takes.
• workDayLength is an integer that is the number of hours you work in a day.

and scheduler returns the minimum number of days that it will take to finish the tasks, and prints the order in which they should be completed.

Example input:

scheduler([['go fishing', 2], ['eat a ton of cake', 3], ['take a nap', 4], ['work', 1]], 4)

Extra credit: Make an app out of it!

Joke

I really love playing chess with elderly people in the park.
It's just really hard to find thirty-two of them willing to do it.
