I'm a Mechanical Engineering major that discovered that I like programming. My favorite part of programming is taking what I know and solving a problem with it. Around 2009 I started teaching myself to code using VBA in Excel, then I added a programming minor two years later.
Wow. It looks like you and I used the same logic to get the answer.
Any particular reason you added the story to the start of your code?

This solution is very clean and efficient. I'm glad that my solution helped inspire you. I hope that you continue to enjoy this site and what it teaches.

Since this code looks a lot like my first published solution, I'm gonna guess that you were new when you wrote this. I don't know if it is i
