Play our NQE Koan Challenge - Dog Year Decoder

Hello NQE Enthusiasts, Several Months ago we posted a challenge to use NQE to solve the FizzBuzz challenge . We had so much fun we thought we would make it a reoccurring exercise to demonstrate the power of NQE and and have some more fun with it. You might be asking  “What are koans”?"koans" refer to a series of small coding challenges designed to teach programming concepts, often in a particular language. The term originates from Zen Buddhism, where a "koan" is a paradoxical question or statement used to provoke deep thought and insight.We are looking forward to see how everyone solves these challenges so tune in and give it a try, there are no wrong answers :).ChallengeYour task is to calculate the age of a list of people not in human years but in “dog years”. Assuming that one human year is equivalent to seven dog years. Calculate for the following input.Input people = [ { Name: "Tom", Age: 25 }, { Name: "Jerry", Age: 30 }, { Name: "Spike", Age: 15 } ];Expected Output: [ {

Who wants to play a game? Fizz buzz Challenge

I like to give my team little challenges to exercise their NQE skills. Why don’t you play along this weekend and let’s see all the different ways you can accomplish this goal. Tune in to see some creative ways to solve the FizzBuzz challenge with NQEFizzBuzzThe task is to write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100, but with a twist:For multiples of three, print "Fizz" instead of the number. For multiples of five, print "Buzz" instead of the number. For numbers which are multiples of both three and five, print "FizzBuzz" instead of the number.
