SUBMIT YOUR IDEAThis one took some trial and error for me to figure out what order to do things in so I didn't end up with extraneous records at the end. I used the tile tool earlier today for the first time based off of seeing it used in someone else's response to a different challenge, and was able to understand how it could be applied here when I was going through this challenge, so the practice and observation of other's approaches is definitely helping me learn tools that are not part of my current use!
I'm not going to post my solution because I could not figure this one out without viewing the posted solution. This is labeled as beginner and after seeing what was going on it was not very complicated to follow; as a beginner myself though, I would not label it as such. I went through a lot of trial and error to actually see how the operations were actually working.
For a simple solution, it seems that I ended with over complicated solution, but as long as I got there, and confident enough that my solution is scalable to 100 books.
