Hello @chygoz2, thank you for participating in Week 5 of #AlgorithmFridays.

Congratulations! 🎉🎉, your solution has been selected as one of the 12 winning solutions for Week 5 of #AlgorithmFridays.

Your solution was selected because it is clean, robust, had the best time-efficiency and passes all of the test cases. I particularly like your error checks for each element in the array. Really clean!

However since only 3 solutions can be awarded the $20 prize, there will be a 'raffle draw' tomorrow at 9.00 am WAT (1.00 am PST) to select 3 out of the 12 solutions in a fair manner.

If you will to participate in the raffle draw, please send an email to uduak@meekg33k.dev or send me a DM on Twitter @meekg33k so I can share the meeting link with you.

Congratulations once again and thank you for participating you. See you tomorrow for Week 6 of #AlgorithmFridays.

Thank you @meekg33k.
