Hello friends!

I hope you had a good week! Mine was fairly packed, but I squeezed in some time for a sunrise hike this weekend. Anyway, surfing time!

Something that interested me this week

This past week I started playing the game Fall Guys! It’s a cute game based on Japanese game shows and it’s… very chaotic and frustrating. But also fun! I haven’t won one yet, but I’m determined to get a crown someday.

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you organize animals! Great job Rafael, Stuart, Melo, Ten, and Liz!

This week’s question:
Given an array of random integers, move all the zeros in the array to the end of the array. Try to keep this in O(n) time (or better)!

Example:

$ moveZeros([1, 2, 0, 1, 0, 0, 3, 6])
$ [1, 2, 1, 3, 6, 0, 0, 0]

Joke

Why do we tell actors to “break a leg”?
Because every play has a cast!


That’s all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and keep wearing your mask!
