DPS909 - Andriy Yevseytsev - Fall 2018

Internal project - Seneca Blackboard Extension As I mentioned in previous blog post, for this release I had a chance to become a maintainer of the internal project and its repository - Seneca Blackboard Extension. After creating the basic file structure from “refined Twitter” extension example we started to work. As a maintainer of the repo I needed to control the issues and pull requests, but it was challenging. One of the reason is a couple of collisions - some people started to work on the same issues and I decided to create the rules for contributing to the repo, to avoid such collisions.

Third week of Hacktoberfest and third PR of release 0.2... Pull Request #3 For the third pull request I decided to take something harder. On GitHub I found the repo where owner asked to implement standard algorithms using JavaScript and write tests for them. I chose the Find Divisors function, commented about this in the issues and started to work. This function takes n as an input, and then returns all divisors of the n in the array. Code of this function you can see below. Moreover I needed to write tests for it. I tested my function and created the pull request. https://github.com/manrajgrover/algorithms-js/pull/59
