https://codepen.io/balexoy/pen/gvmobj
https://codepen.io/balexoy/pen/gvmobj
@alexandrupintilei so you want to make the twitter bird a button?
i tryed same function on a button, stil dosent work
@JavaLavaMT
@alexandrupintilei try this href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet/?text="
@alexandrupintilei you may also have to encode it if you have any special charters
@JavaLavaMT i want to User Story: I can press a button to tweet out a quote.
@alexandrupintilei var url = "https://twitter.com/share?text="; replace with var url = "https://twitter.com/intent/tweet/?text="
thats why i did
what*
@alexandrupintilei do you know about jquery? I think if I remember i had to use jquery to get the text from the quote box and then it worked
@JavaLavaMT i know a bit, but i though i can do this with vanilla js
@JavaLavaMT thx
alexandrupintilei sends brownie points to @javalavamt :sparkles: :thumbsup: :sparkles:

@alexandrupintilei do you know about jquery? I think if I remember i had to use jquery to get the text from the quote box and then it worked
you don't need to "get" the text from the box, this text (the quote) was already obtained when you did the API call
Hello :3
@Gersho yeah but its coming across as undefined
what is ?
@alexandrupintilei
.value as far as I remember is used to get value from input, for other elements you need to do .textContent property. So doing var text = document.getElementById("text").textContent; will get you the quote text.
you sure like to make it more complicated than necessary, the quote is already in a JS variable
@ezioda004 thx
@alexandrupintilei Also remove
"?text=" from window.open since you already have that in url.
@ezioda004 dosent work
@alexandrupintilei What does work? tweet button?
yes
@alexandrupintilei It works, you need to first click the quote button then tweet button :P
@AmitP88 With a quick look you have the good ol async problem.
@ezioda004 async problem?
@ezioda004 I don't know what you mean
@AmitP88 try toFixed(2) for your lon/lat
@Gersho ok, one sec
@AmitP88 Nevermind, I was thinking of something else
@Gersho ok, it trimmed the lat and lon decimals down to 2, but I still get the error
@ezioda004 no worries
@Gersho
i'm comparing to mine but i can't seem to find where's the difference
@Gersho plus, when I click on the link in the console the data shows up just fine in a new tab
var callUrl = "https://fcc-weather-api.glitch.me/api/current?lat=";
callUrl += latit;
callUrl += "&lon=";
callUrl += longit;
$.ajax({
url: callUrl,
dataType: "json",
headers: { "Api-User-Agent": "fCC_CodePen_Gersho" },
type: "GET",
success: function(data) {
and your call seem to be the same
@AmitP88 get location is async, so you have to call the $.ajax in the get location callback or the lat/lon wont be set yet
oh it wasn't nested ? i hadn't noticed
@sjames1958gm oh I see. ok, it works now. :)
@AmitP88 wrap your $.ajax in a function and call that function from your showPosition function passing lat/lon
function getWeather(lat, lon) {
$.ajax({
'url': 'https://fcc-weather-api.glitch.me/api/current?lat=' + lat + '&lon=' + lon,
'type': 'GET',
'success': function(data) {
console.log('https://fcc-weather-api.glitch.me/api/current?lat=' + lat + '&lon=' + lon);
console.log(data);
}
});
}
@sjames1958gm @Gersho thanks guys :)

@AmitP88 That is how I would do it, but you can put your ajax call in the showPosition function
@sjames1958gm I was looking at this for the geolocation https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp
but it didn't mention anything about it being async. That's probably what threw me off
but it didn't mention anything about it being async. That's probably what threw me off
@AmitP88 not good on their part
@sjames1958gm but wait, since I have to have my get request nested within the showPosition function, will I still have access to the data variable outside of it?
@sjames1958gm so say I want to make a separate function for showing the local temperature, would I still be able to use the data object?
You can pass that data from the $.ajax to the callback as parameters.
@sjames1958gm ah ok, so when I make my new function, just pass in the data as the parameter?
@AmitP88 yes. 90% or higher of your functions should get their data through parameters.
@sjames1958gm I see. ok, i'll try it right now. thanks :)

afternoon fCC

hey buddy
how goes the code?
@DarrenfJ :wave:
@DarrenfJ @Gersho @thekholm80 :wave:
@thekholm80 hey buddy
@ezioda004 hiya
finally got to the part of the vampire show where they talk about her as being
a van helsing
very cool
I figured you'd be listening to podcasts today
i was
last night was Van Helsing
hey, can someone help with my css problem.
@guylozius we can try... what is it?
@DarrenfJ I still like the Hugh Jackman one
@ezioda004 yah that one was pretty good too...
Cheesy at times but still entertaining
but this a netflix seres i think
i think i have a copy of that somewhere, I should watch it again
how goes the code?
slowly
why is my css not being applie to my html flie.
hey guys, I'm nearly done with the Local Weather App, but I'm having trouble getting the F to C converter to work. I made a simple jquery click event for it, but it's not working and I don't know why. Please help :)
@AmitP88
function(F,C) { where is this anonymous function getting the values of F and C?
if I add
console.log(F) into that function I get
@AmitP88 Apparently the
#temperature div also contains the temperature so you're comparing something like 67 F to F or C
@thekholm80 I defined F and C above the function just outside of it.
that's not how that works
function (F, C) { is creating new variables called F and C within the scope of that function
I tried it at first without passing in F, C in the click event function, but it still didn't work
you shouldn't need both, you have the one you get from your api call, so you only need to calculate the other one
if i remove the
(F, C) from that function, the value of F becomes 38 ℉
sorry, i was logging
C
@Gersho oh, the one in the api is in celsius, and I wanted to make the one in my app defaulted to fahrenheit, so I just made those two variables to make it easier to switch from one to another
ok, I sort of got it to work
ok...off for :tea: and podcasts
@DarrenfJ have fun my friend
https://codepen.io/AmitP88/pen/QQpNKp?editors=1010
ok, I may need to make this into a switch case. When I first load the app (when the temp is F), I can click on it to turn to C, but after that, if I click on C, it won't change back
my css not being applied to my html flie.
@guylozius we need to see code to have a prayer of helping
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">

<link href="new 1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="test/css"/>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>
h1{
background-color: blue;
}
background-color: blue;
}
is your css and html files in the same directory?
yes
and your css file is named
new 1.css?
yes
i've never used a space in a file name before, not sure if that would cause issues?
space should be %20 iirc ?
perhaps that's all it is
ok i wil change and see
but since it's in quotes...i have no idea ?
@AmitP88 You can make a quick Not switch by defining a boolean in global scope say
let isF = true; and then have your if statements change accordingly likeif(isF) {
temperature.innerHTML = C;
isF = false;
} else {
temperature.innerHTML = F;
isF = true;
}
i would think it would need
href='"new 1.css"' maybe?
so the file name stays quoted
mostly just guessing though
i just changes it and it still not working
i would think it would need
href='"new 1.css"'maybe?
i don't know if that exists but my first reaction upon reading it was "what the...."
@ezioda004 oh yeah, I had it like this:
if(temperature.innerHTML = F) {
temperature.innerHTML = C;
} else if(temperature.innerHTML = C) {
temperature.innerHTML = F;
}it works, but only when it's F. After the first click and it turns to C, it won't turn back
@ezioda004 I'm seeing if I can make it into a switch case to fix this
@guylozius can you show your updated code?
@Gersho yeah, kind of ugly lol
<!DOCTYPE html>

can you try changing your relative path to

@AmitP88
Please change this, it's making my eyes bleed
Please change this, it's making my eyes bleed
var F = Math.floor(data.main.temp * (9/5) + 32) + ' ' + '℉';
var C = Math.floor(((data.main.temp * (9/5) + 32) - 32) * (5/9)) + ' ' + '℃';
@Gersho lmao ok XP
@AmitP88 Look at this carefully
if(temperature.innerHTML = F) you're assigning F to temperature.innerHTML , not comparing.
your var C is like troll maths xD
:trollface: troll problems? notify admins here
@thekholm80 ok just did
@guylozius still not working?
yeah it not working
@ezioda004 I originally tried this:
if(temperature.innerHTML === F) {
temperature.innerHTML = C;
} else if(temperature.innerHTML === C) {
temperature.innerHTML = F;
}```
but it didn't work, so I had to change it
$("#temperature").on("click",function(){
if (tempX == C){
tempX = F;
}else{tempX = C}
$("#temperature").html(tempX);
});
@thekholm80 ok just did not working
@guylozius
<link href="new1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="test/css"> I don't think you need the / at the end of this tag
i can't believe how bad I am at html now. this is really sad
@AmitP88 It works now because
temperature.innerHTML = F it returns a truthy value..thats why your if statements executes and else if never does
Do Not Use Any Spaces
Just like with special characters, spaces can cause problems on your web server. It's a good idea to avoid them in your file names. I even make it a point to name files like PDFs using these same conventions, just in case I ever need to add them to a website. If you feel you need a space to make the file name easier to read, opt for hyphens or underscores instead.
For examples, instead of using "this is the file.pdf" I would use "this-is-the-file.pdf".
https://www.thoughtco.com/naming-css-style-sheet-files-3466881
@thekholm80 i just remove it and still not working'
@Gersho i always use underscores for my file names. I think it's called snake_case
Hyphen one is called kebab-case I think
why kebab ?
you got me hungry :(
Clearly not a kebab fan! ^^
@guylozius i'm not sure
test/css is a valid type, either. can you try text/css?
@ezioda004 I see
The value of the attribute should be a MIME type such as text/html, text/css, and so on. The common use of this attribute is to define the type of style sheet linked and the most common current value is text/css, which indicates a Cascading Style Sheet format.
@Gersho That's why
TIL^
lol i've never seen a kebab that looks like a sandwich
@thekholm80 still not working
i'm i would have called that skewer-case
only a skewer with meat and veg on it
lol i've never seen a kebab that looks like a sandwich
is that banned in america too or what ? xD
@guylozius i'm sorry we've hit the limit of my html debugging expertise. hopefully someone else can help because I'm obviously not smart enough lol
let's just remove the space and call it a day ;)
he's done that
oh
hopefully he remembered to rename the file as well
so they match
yeah i already did
thanks you for trying
could it be a permission issue ? what does the console say ?

@SweetCodingInc hiya
how's your Saturday?
On my way back to the US
1 hour to go for takeoff
from Germany?
did you interview?
Haha! No! From India.. I was on vacation
oh, just as good then
All the interviews were on skype
even better, no need for pants
Yo!
What’s up with Silicon Slopes?
growing like crazy
Adobe is doubling the size of it's campus, hiring something like 20k more people
might have been less, my brain is garbage
yeah, i'm dumb lol they have about 1,200 people right now and they'll expand to around 2,500
i thought my number was ridiculously high
well you're stating to learn politics i guess
nah, i realized my mistake and corrected it. a politician would never do that
hence starting
lol
you'll get it eventually
Holm 2020
your next big one is 2020 right ?
maybe
if we're not a smoking hole in the ground by then
haha
by 2020, the ones eating tide pool today will be of voting age, isn't that wonderfull news ?
oh geez
btw is it true they ask for your ID to buy some now ?
ki've read it on the internet so it must be true right ?
I know a lot of lower-income areas have to keep Tide locked up because it gets stolen a lot from stores
dunno about IDing buyers though
On one hand we have synchronous rocket landing and in other kids eating tide pod.
Balance restored.
too bad i'll be dead by the time space tourism is a thing
I'm kind of sad about that too
Unless we achieve transcendence
aren't they forgetting the 95% of pron ?
:wave: guys
@kelechy :wave:
i saw on the news Nigeria has a bobsleigh team, that was unexpected
lol
yea
hows it going with you @Gersho
slow progress but progress still :)
how about you ? done with cash.c ?
yea
want to do credit
is there a way to convert a number to string in c?
oh that one, it gave me trouble a bit
i'm checking what i wrote, that was only a couple weeks ago and i feel like i'm reading someone else code >.>
:smile:
i did not convert it to string
i did the luhn algo with CW
i used
% 10 to get last digit then / 10 to shift and did that until i had checked every number
but i coverted to a string in js
so i can iterate over the credit number
my itteration is done that way
// cn is card number
long long cn = n;
int temp;
// Will store the number of digits in the card number
int cnlength = 0;
int total = 0;
while ( cn > 0 )
{
// Itterate every digit starting from the right
temp = cn % 10;
cn /= 10;
cnlength++;
// do stuff with temp
}
it will itterate every number starting from the right
i want to start from the left and do sometime to element at odd index
why from the left ? the odd and even index are based on the right in a credit card number
but if that really what you want, i guess you could create an array ? (in the "do stuff with temp") part
yea thats true
still i wonder how the math guys come up with stuff like that, almost feel like my mom's numerology books
:smile:
could your solve the algo with js
js ? i've never tried
well, should be easier than in C, but i'm lazy :P
yea certainly easier than C
you have to do almost everything yourself in C :smile:
for the js CW, i guess i'd remove the spaces, and then itterate with a for loop starting at the end like
for (i = str.length; i >= 0; i--){
//do stuff
}
i will do the credit tomorrow @Gersho
still there? @Gersho
depending on my internet
i think i need an extra eye
sure, i've got 4 of those i can help
dont know if i missed sometime in description
function validCard(card) {
card = card.replace(/ /g,""); let n = "";
for (let i = card.length-2; i >= 0; i-=2) {
n+=(card[i]*2)>9 ? (card[i]*2)-9 : card[i]*2 ;
}
return n.split``.reduce((a,b)=>a + +b,0)//%10===0;
}
oh the one from earlier, but i can't see your code you'll need to paste it ^^
shouldn't it be
let n = 0 ?
also, you're doing the multiply *2 on the odd ones but shouldn't be adding the others too (without multiplying)
no n is a string, since i need to sum the digits
not stated in description
won't that end up with problems like "2" + "2" = 22 ?
you could try using integers along with parseInt on card[i]
so you keep card as a string to allow easy itteration, while using intergers for the sum
CS50 and the kata decrptions are different
oh well then skip the part the kata doesn't ask for
i am using the kata's description to solve it
hmm second dot says sum all digits, but the way it's worded is weird
did you see the kata description?
yep, i think you should take a look at the wiki page linked too
very weird, thats why i did n to be string
Take the sum of all the digits.
Hello guys, I need help on a PHP script
i don't know PHP-fu sorry
i need a fresh pair of eyes to look at this @Gersho
sure, what part ?
post your questions and someone with experience would drop an answer @Hoxtygen
i just can point fingers now, the description is poorly written imo @Gersho
Take the sum of all the digits. or do they mean the whole digits in card? @Gersho
well, let's see an exemple, should be easier:
123456789 as the card number
we would do
8x2 + 6x2 + 4x2 + 2x2
(1+6 =>7) + (1 + 2 => 3) + 8 + 4 => 22
9 + 7 + 5 + 3 + 1 => 25
22 + 25 => 47
47 % 10 => if 0, card is valid
that's how i understand it anyway
function validCard(card) {
card = card.replace(/ /g,"").split``;
for (let i = card.length-2; i >= 0; i-=2) {
card[i] = (card[i]*2)>9 ? (card[i]*2)-9 : card[i]*2 ;
}
return card.reduce((a,b)=>a + +b, 0) % 10 === 0;
}
done @Gersho
i don't understand the 2
+ in the reduce
coerce the string "4" etc to 4
oh, ok
btw i like you usage of the array and the reduce
the kata and cs50 description are different
if they are both about the same algo, it shouldn't be different
