The algorithm for Day 2 of 30 Days of Algorithms is a useful formula to find a missing number in an array of numbers from 1 - N. This algorithm only works if there is one-and-only-one missing number, and no duplicate numbers. There are other algorithms for those cases which I will cover on a different day.

Euclid's algorithm finds the largest number that divides evenly into two numbers - the greatest common divisor (GCD). The Greek mathematician Euclid published the algorithm in his work, Elements in 300 BC.

I recently decided to re-enter the "real world" after freelancing for three years. My very first interview was at InVision. It did not go well, to say the least. The coding test focused on common algorithms in JavaScript, and I bombed. After receiving the polite rejection email, I asked the recruiter for feedback from the hiring team so I could improve.

When I’m working on my icon designs, I often have 4-5 Adobe Illustrator documents open at a time during a work session. Since icon design involves creating large collections of tens, hundreds, or even thousands of icons, I have them broken up into multiple files but find I need to copy a lot of icons between files.

I have added a new Downloads section to this site. In this section you will find a collection of Adobe Illustrator native extensions as well as Illustrator scripts written in JavaScript (technically, JavaScript Extension). These scripts and extensions were created to help improve my own workflow and now I am sharing them, free-of-charge.
