    \$\begingroup\$ Welcome to PPCG! That's a nice challenge, but unfortunately, we don't like challenges that allow only one language. This challenge is also missing a winning criteria. I'd recommend you to look at few other of challenges there and use our sandbox next time. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I'm guessing this must be code golf as I can't see any other reasonable criteria. (I added the code golf tag, but if that is wrong feel free to specify the correct winning criteria and remove it.) \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @JonathanAllan Please stop editing programming questions to make them on-topic. Either OP edit the winning criteria in themselves or we close (and optionally someone else repost) it. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Arlene Please edit your question to reflect the fact that all languages are allowed. Also if you are interested in the shortest solution, I suggest you tag your question code-golf \$\endgroup\$
