A series of algorithms will test students on ways to solve basic/intermediate algorithm problems using vanilla javascript.
These instructions will help you get your javascript enviroment set up for testing your algorithms.
Basic understanding of npm and javascript
You want to first git clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/Andyt-Nguyen/Algorithm_students.gitthen you want to install all the dependicies in this repo
npm i
There will be empty functions that will have an empty return statement along with a
basic prompt on the function's purpose.
/*
Problem 1:
Prompt: Sort the array so that the even numbers(sorted by ascending order)
are followed by the odd numbers in ascending order.
Test cases:
(This only test some cases for you to get an idea. This does not reflect if your algo works for all test cases)
(run `npm run test` to check if your alg passes the tests.)
[ 366, 311, 142 ] return [ 142, 366, 311 ]
[ 351, 85, 85 ] return [ 85, 85, 351 ]
[ 145, 372, 83, 290 ] return [ 290, 372, 83, 145 ]
*/
function sortEvenAndOdd(array) {
// Write code in here
return;
} You will want to execute your code in the function that says '// Write code in here'
function sortEvenAndOdd(array) {
// Write code in here
return;
} When your code is written you will have to run a command within your termial/command prompt to see if you have pass all the test cases.
You will run this command in your terminal/command prompt to execute if you have pass the series of tests
npm run test
These test will have a series of inputs that it will test to see if you offically passes all the test and the function works as it is expected.
Example: A function that has passed all the test cases
Testing Algorhthms
Captalize the first letter in every word as well as lowercase every word
✓ Should Return 'I Like Turtles'
✓ Should Return 'David Likes To Eat Cookies When Nobody Is Watching'
✓ Should return You Are The Master At Javascript
✓ Should retrun Ieatfoodallday
Return an array with no duplications in descending order
✓ Should return [33,22,11]
✓ Should return [ 44, 42, 12, 7, 5, 2 ]
✓ Should return [ 3000, 528, 100, 92, 55, 49, 22, 4, 2, 1, 0 ]
✓ Should return ['cc','bb','aa']Example: A test that has failed one of the test cases
7) Testing Algorhthms
Return an array with no duplications in descending order
Should return ['cc','bb','aa']:
AssertionError: expected [ 'aa', 'aa', 'bb', 'bb', 'cc', 'cc' ] to have the same members as [ 'cc', 'bb', 'aa' ]
+ expected - actual
[
+ "cc"
+ "bb"
"aa"
- "aa"
- "bb"
- "bb"
- "cc"
- "cc"
]
at Context.it (test.js:46:20)For each algorithm that you're going to solve its going to be hard to read what test cases you got wrong when all of the functions are laid out in front of you. Because of this you're going to be seeing a lot of red in your terminal. So a way to make sure your function is isoloated (by itself ) you can git checkout each branch to test your function by itself.
Steps to isoloate function within the terminal/command prompt
To see all of the available branches
git branch -a
Output:
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
remotes/origin/Problem2
remotes/origin/Problem3
remotes/origin/Problem4
remotes/origin/Problem5
...
Checking into a branch
git checkout origin/Problem2
When checking into a new branch run inside your terminal/command prompt to download the dependencies
npm i
Output in the terminal in isolated enviroment. A lot of the tests will be skipped in order to test the alg problem you are trying to solve.
Testing Algorhthms
Return evens and odd numbers in descending order where the evens appear first in the array
- Should return [8,6,0,7,5,1]
- Should return [2,16,88,11,63,809]
- Should return [2000,2012,5100,4323,7877,9093]
Captalize the first letter in every word as well as lowercase every word
1) Should Return 'I Like Turtles'
2) Should Return 'David Likes To Eat Cookies When Nobody Is Watching'
3) Should return You Are The Master At Javascript
4) Should retrun Ieatfoodallday
Return an array with no duplications in descending order
- Should return [33,22,11]
- Should return [ 44, 42, 12, 7, 5, 2 ]
- Should return [ 3000, 528, 100, 92, 55, 49, 22, 4, 2, 1, 0 ]
- Should return ['cc','bb','aa']
...Getting out of the remote branch.
git add .
git commit -m "message"
git checkout master
Note: Once you isolate your function to test if it works your progress will not be saved in the master branch so make sure to save your progress in the "master" branch.
