Features:

• Returns the index of the search value if found, otherwise, undefined
• No array copy
• Iterative

function binarySearch(arr, number) {
    let start = 0
    let end = arr.length - 1

My attempt at backlava in JS.

Fetaures and difference to other implementation:

• memoise the spaces and stars
• use of substr to print the number of spaces and stars
• use of a string builder instead of string concatenation
• the algorithm is contained within backlava()
• backlava() returns a string rather than printing directly to the console

Upon researching GraphQL, the question immediately came to my mind:

Why do we need another query language when we already have SQL?

A second question then came to mind:

Can we use SQL for API endpoints?

After asking this question, it now seems odd that REST style APIs would even be considered a good choice.

One of the earliest Ruby constructs I learned about was Hash.new {|h, k| h[k] = {} }. This small one-liner is explored in many Ruby tutorials and it completely captured my imagination. I've never been able to use this in a production app as I've always found a better solution. However, one thing it might be good for is to take you on a short journey.

This journey will be interactive, so you will need to copy snippets of code into an irb or pry console. I recommend using ruby 2.6 or higher as the copy-paste functionality is better (and I havn't debugged on lower versions).

UPDATE: I've now added the caves_of_lemaria.rb script which will run through the whole adventure!

Inspiration

I really dislike repeating my self in code I really dislike writing code just to get around language limitations

Typed languages are the absolute worst for code verbosity. The need to create object upon object to wrap and transform and present data is crazy

However, I do appreciate the type checking that goes along with Typed languages. I feel dynamic languages could actually acheive this by having the compiler create virtual interfaces for
