Count the divisors of a number

Code to Solution

Level: 7 kyu

Time to complete: ~5 minutes

thoughts

• I used a for loop to loop through the numbers from 1 to the number passed in as an argument and check if the number is divisible by the number in the loop and if it is I add 1 to the count variable and return the count variable at the end of the function after the loop is done.

Problem 2

Day 1 - October 10, 2022

• At The moment I am still working on small business website with a photo gallery and text blog ssg
• The tech I am using is Nextjs, Tailwindcss, and Strapi cms for the backend
• the purpose of the project is to learn how to use strapi cms to create a backend for a website and to learn how to use nextjs to create a static site generator for a blog and photo gallery
• This way I am able to create a website that is easy to update and maintain and I can use it to showcase my work and to learn new things
• By using a cms I am able to create a website that is easy to update and maintain by the client.
• I want the client to be able to update the text content or add new blog posts without having to touch any code.
• no client wants to mess around with any code so a cms is a great way to make it easy for them to update the website.

Notes

• I am going to be using this as a way to keep track of my progress and to keep me motivated to keep coding.

What I learned today

• I noticed my commits were not registering as contributions on github
• The issue was with my laptops git config email not matching the email I used to create the github account
• I fixed this by changing the email in the git config file
• I also learned that I can use the command git config --global --edit to edit the git config file
• git config --global user.email "email here"

Counting Duplicates

Code to Solution

Level: 6 kyu

Time to complete: ~20 minutes

thoughts

• I've done a challenge like this before for the amazon assesment.
• basically check all the values in the string keep a count of the occurances and then return the count of the values that have a count greater than 1.
• what was hard is trying to remeber how to add to my object and how to check if a key exists in an object. I had to look up the syntax for both of those things.
