With some basic JavaScript principles we can now expand our skills out even further by exploring array methods like: .forEach()
, .map()
, .reduce()
, and .filter()
. We can also look at how closures have a large impact on how we write JavaScript.
- Fork/Clone this repository.
- Complete all the exercises as described inside each assignment file.
- Use
console.log()
statements to check to see if your code does what it is supposed to do. - To test your
console
statements you can runnode /assignments/<fileName>
and see what prints in your terminal. You can also use an online tool likeJSBin
,REPL.it
,JSFiddle
, or even yourChrome developer console
. - Once you finish the exercises in each file, commit your code, and push it to your fork.
- In the callbacks.js file you'll be receiving a lot of practice on how to use callbacks to pass around data.
- Write out each function using the
ES5
function
keyword syntax. - Remember that a callback function is simply a function that is being passed around to other functions.
- Stretch Problem After you're done with all of the functions, go ahead and re-factor all of them to use
ES6
Arrow Functions
You will see more and more arrow functions as you progress deeper into JavaScript. Use the function-conversion.js file as a helper challenge to showcase some of the differences between ES5 and ES6 syntax.
Use .forEach()
, .map()
, .filter()
, and .reduce()
to loop over an array with 50 objects in it. The array-methods.js file contains several challenges built around a fund rasising 5k fun run event.
- Read the instructions found within the file carefully to finish the challenges.
- The last challenge is to come up with 3 problems to solve and then build a solution for them using any of the array methods listed above.
- Share one of your favorite problem/solutions in your team meeting.
- Complete each challenge presented before moving on to closure.
The closure.js assignment showcases how variables can be used outside of functions to store state using closure.
- Complete each challenge.
