JavaScript 201 - Programming Exercises

Programming exercises for a beginning JavaScript programmer.

These exercises use Strings, loops, Objects, and Arrays to solve logic problems.

Install

Make sure that Node.js and npm are installed. Then, from this directory type:

npm install

This will install a folder named node_modules/ into this folder.

Directions

You will be writing functions in the JavaScript files found in the exercises/ folder.

Write your functions and then run:

npm test

The goal is to get the test suite to pass all conditions. Good luck!

Continuously Run Test Suite

You may want to run the test suite anytime a file in exercises/ changes:

npm run watch

This command will continuously run the test suite and stop on the first failing test.

Syntax error handling

The test suite is not returning the details of syntax errors. Students can go in circles due to the lack of feedback.

we need more basic loops exercises

// 1) declare an array with some strings
const animals = ["alligator", "zebra", "crocodile", "giraffe"]

// create an empty array (we will fill this with strings from the previous array)
let animalsWithoutZ = []

// 2) loop through "animals"

// 3) add every item in "animals" to "animalsWithoutZ" unless the animal name
//    contains the letter "z"
//    HINT: remember you can search within a string

// 4) return "animalsWithoutZ"
