So I'm able to calculate numbers and total them but the only issue is having when I clear my calculator to 0 and punch in a number like 9 for instance, it goes to 09. How do I make 0 change to a number on my calculator whenever I hit clear and then hit a number again? http://codepen.io/lisaramos/pen/MKBmgm
@LisaRamos
function C() {
$('.clear').click(function() {
$('#inputSec').text('0');
input = "";
});
};what's happening is you are setting the textfield to have zero and when you press buttons it adds the number to the string. You need to come up with a way to remove the zero if it's the first number and there is no decimal point.
I removed 0 from
.text() and when I clear my calculator, nothing happens.
@LisaRamos you would have to keep the quotes so something like
.text("") which represents nothing.
@idietmoran I'll try that.
but then the calculator won't display zero when it is cleared. You should write a function that checks if the first number is a zero and if it's followed by a decimal.
@idietmoran Now how do I write that function?
@LisaRamos think back to some of the algorithims you've done. maybe try
.charAt() . if the function returns true you should remove the zero, good luck
@idietmoran I'm struggling to write a formula as to how to remove 0 when my calculator is cleared.
@LisaRamos what do you have so far?
is anyone around with experience in Camper News? I can't figure out how to get a grid layout :/
all the documentation I've read covers only static content (JQuery grids w. Col-a, Col-b, etc.) but I can't figure out how to apply that to content being loaded dynamically from an API
@DavidWeedmark i used angularJS for that project which is what it was created for. I know react.js is supposed to be similar and the one that freecodecamp teaches
@idietmoran I'm trying to write
function C() {
$('.clear').click(function() {
$('#inputSec').text("");
input = "";
return [str.charAt()];
});
};I'm not sure what to do with str.charAt().
@idietmoran thanks. I'll head towards the angular docs then

@LisaRamos I'm not seeing a zero when I click your Clear button
@DavidWeedmark What do you think I'm doing wrong? How can I fix this?
you want a zero to appear?
@DavidWeedmark I want a zero to appear when I hit clear and also disappear when I hit a number.
anyone here done tic tac toe?
I just tested on mine. I didn't have a zero appear either, but when I changed the "" to "0" it now does.
entry.innerHTML = '0';
rather than
if(value == 'AC') {
entry.innerHTML = '';
decimalAdded = false;
This message was deleted
@LisaRamos
function numToString(str) {
var change = Number(str);
var change = change.toString();
return change;
}
console.log(numToString("002"));check this out
@LisaRamos this will save you a lot of headache if you run this function every time you update the display
@idietmoran I still don't have the 0 showing up on the screen of my calculator and when I press clear, 0 doesn't show up. In addition to that, when I hit a number, the 0 won't disappear, either. In other words, my calculator won't function just like the one on my laptop.
@LisaRamos I was just playing with your code and substituted my lines for the clear button with yours. It worked, but wasn't giving me a zero on your page, while on mine it did. So I suspect the problem is somewhere other than the Clear button itself.
for what it's worth, I preferred mine without the zero. I've got to go, so best of luck.
@DavidWeedmark Just one sec. Where's the code you were working with?
@LisaRamos I actually just substituted this
if(value == 'AC') {
entry.innerHTML = '0';
decimalAdded = false;
with this:
$('.clear').click(function() {
$('#inputSec').text("");
input = "";
return [str.charAt()];
changing "AC" with "Clear" of course
@DavidWeedmark Now where do I put the above code you mentioned? Do I replace it with the one in the
.click() function?
Yo wassup peeps. This rooms seems a lot less chaotic than the main one. I'm having a problem with my first zipline, the portfolio homepage.
The "About Me" section is too small. And the code is exactly the same as the other sections.

The "About Me" section is too small. And the code is exactly the same as the other sections.
http://codepen.io/jmortelliti/pen/KpjMBd
that's what I did, but as I said, it didn't give me a zero
If I wanted to create winning conditions for tic tac toe, would you all hard code them? Or would you use something more automated?
@DanStockham i'm working on that right now. i haven't figured it out yet but i'm positive there's a way to do it without hardcoding it
@DavidWeedmark I tried the code you mentioned and now I can't clear it. Should I just revert back?
@LisaRamos
you have to use the function for it to work
$('.numBut').click(function() {
var input = $("#inputSec").text();
input += $(this).text();
$('#inputSec').text(numToString(input));
});here, anytime you invoke a number and 0 is the first number it gets removed.
i used the function in the
.text() field
Hello guys. How can i disable the 'button press-down' effect ? I looked for it but i didn't find anything
@idietmoran I tried that but when I calculate a number, I get
NaN. Should I revert back?
@UnlimiWorks I believe this might be helpful https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:focus
@LisaRamos i'll check in one second
@idietmoran I was actually talking about the
button:active pseudo-class which gives the button a 'pressed down' effect when clicked. My aim is to disable that, to get a style similar to flat buttons
My problem is, when i click, the text inside my button moves by some pixels. I don't know if there's any 'clean' way to cancel it. The only idea that i have is to play with the position of the text inside the button
@LisaRamos the problem is that the program is trying to add a string and a number together. I haven't used the math.js library so I'm trying to figure out where it's going wrong
@idietmoran Do you think it's the math.js library?
@LisaRamos no i don't think so
@LisaRamos it's something like
input =+ $(this).text();as the input and .text() are strings, but i'm not sure out clicking on a .op calls an operator
@idietmoran Now how do I fix that?
@LisaRamos
Number( numHere ) turns a string into a number, but I think your code is missing something as I don't see how you are calling operators in the code
@idietmoran What do you think is missing in my code?
@LisaRamos how the program knows what operator to use (plus, minus...)
hey guys. im trying to figure out a little bit of a layout issue. as you can see. my background picture, when applied, cuts off the left side of my buttons for some reason and i cant figure out why. when the background image is token out, the buttons return to normal

@idietmoran I don't understand.
@LisaRamos Can i see your pen for a sec ?
sup guys, Im on the make your portfolio exercise and Ive got a question about images
@UnlimiWorks Sure, here it is. http://codepen.io/lisaramos/pen/MKBmgm
lets say you plan on having an image for the background on your page, and you plan on adding it to a particular <div> when you are designing
should you do the sizing of the image when you are saving it to a website like http://postimg.org/, OR should you size the image when you add the URL to your code?
maybe always save images to a hosting site with as much size and resolution as possible and then scale them down when you add them to a page?
@vbroskas Depending on how you plan to load the image I think it is better to pre-size it to your page, as even if you take a very large image (disk space wise) and scale it down (pixel size) you have to transfer the entire file size before it loads.
but if you are lets say making a picture viewer you may want to load a low-res version and allow the user to view a high-res version that gets loaded when they click on the image rather than loading a page full of all of the high-res versions.
@jberns @vbroskas Pre-scaling an image maynot always be desirable, because users tend to have varying screen sizes. It's best to store the images in the right proportions (eg. 16:9 for laptops, a portrait orientation for phones etc) and then load them accordingly.
Also, consider optimizing your image to reduce the size. Google "JPEG optimizer" etc. Some online tools do it.
@jberns @pradeepce thanks for the info guys. @pradeepce so do you mean you store the image on the website in various proportions, and then depending on what device the user is using, the correct image will be called out when they open the page?

does anyone know why comparing an id to corresponding property's value in an array of objects works fine until i try to do the same thing in a for loop?
like here, line 50 http://codepen.io/susanzell/pen/MKGoPy
i'm trying to avoid repeating myself in the code and since i have 5 different buttons with same class but different ids, i want to have it play a sound based on the id of the button that's was clicked
@vbroskas IMHO that would be the ideal thing to do. I usually compress the images to be less than 10kB and/or 600px wide. And I use it for everything, unless it looks absolutely horrible.
@pradeepce ok cool thanks. I have no idea how to do something like that at this point, but I'll def remember your advice as I progress. Much appreciated!
vbroskas sends brownie points to @pradeepce :sparkles: :thumbsup: :sparkles:
:warning: vbroskas already gave pradeepce points
@vbroskas It's pretty simple actually.
First off, choose an image for your background. Search for "jpeg optimizer" and choose one of the online tools that pop up. For example, https://compressor.io, Upload your image, let it compress, and download the compressed file. Then, use it in your site.
Hey guys, does anyone know a good place to get some free sound clips? I need an alarm sound for my clock.
Almost all of these tools will compress your image upto 50% or more... There will be some loss in quality, but i think that's okay for bg images.

guys I got another quick question, if Im trying to make two colums of text, and I create a container, and then i create a <div> row element, and then inside that row I put two <div class='col-sm-6'>
why are they still so offset to the left of the page?
I've tried messing around with different values, and using xs,sm,md etc
but I cant get the two columns to be evenly spaced in the middle of the page
@vbroskas I think the columns align left by default. If you specify a border for the columns, you might to able to see what's wrong. I usually have
div { border: 1px solid red; }in my css to debug layout issues :)
@pradeepce thanks again bro, solid advice

why would this not work for an array of objects that all have a aproperty of "symbol": function levelUp(){
playerStr = '';
lvl++;
gameStr += colors.symbol[Math.floor(Math.random()*colors.length)];
for(var i=0; i<gameStr.length-1; i++){
console.log("correct string is: " + gameStr.charAt(i));
// playAudio(gameStr.charAt(i));
}
};
?
playerStr = '';
lvl++;
gameStr += colors.symbol[Math.floor(Math.random()*colors.length)];
for(var i=0; i<gameStr.length-1; i++){
console.log("correct string is: " + gameStr.charAt(i));
// playAudio(gameStr.charAt(i));
}
};
?
it says Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of undefined
@susanzell do you have a codepen or something? without seeing the full picture i can't tell
ealized i had array[]thing in wron bplace,but it's still giving me a diffrent err now
@vbroskas Glad again :)
@susanzell i think your problem lies within this line
gameStr += colors.symbol[Math.floor(Math.random()*colors.length)];
yeah i moved it but it stilhas problems
now it's gameStr += colors[Math.floor(Math.random()*colors.length)].symbol
and now msg is Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'shouldStopExecution' of undefined
actually first time i get this error msg Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'exitedLoop' of undefined
@susanzell i don't know exactly where your problem lies but think about this: you're trying to build up a string,
gameStr, out of function calls... look at what colors is made of
i get same thing if i replace random index with index of 0
@susanzell irrelevant... is this a string
new Mana("w", "http://www.freesound.org/data/previews/1/1859_345-lq.mp3"); ?
no, that's the object that goes with a variable name that goes along with the 5 different characters i'm using for sake of readability
i added a console.log to see it's building the string correctly
@susanzell so it is... hmm
@susanzell i just hit refresh, seems like its working now?
i haven't been able to find a nice simple way to just associate the HTML id to these
i commented out the for loop to test the other console.log
@susanzell
$(this).attr('id') ?
@susanzell although using
symbol from your object seems to be working fine
yeah, i even was calling that property "id" before and changed it in case it causes obscure errors
well, splitting the string into an array lets me loop through it
so shrug

hey guys i just need a little help getting my countdown clock to change when user inputs a different number to countdown... any suggestions or help would be amazing!! thank you
@JackEdwardLyons According to the console your changeTime function is not defined
@JackEdwardLyons You should specify a value for each of the options in your <select>. For example,
<select id="countId">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<!-- and so on -->Or am I missing something?
@pradeepce If all else fails couldn't he use the data attribute and assign values? I'm not sure if that is considered good form, but it would be a way to reference those values
@hallectj I'm pretty new to JS myself, but I think the following lines
var docText = document.getElementById("countId");
var docNum = Number(docText.options[docText.selectedIndex].value);store the selected value from the dropdown in docNum. And value attributes for <option> seem to be traditional, so... Take a look: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select
@pradeepce Yeah, your right, it should have a value attribute. I do use the data attribute sometimes when I find it hard to reference something.
@hallectj Oh cool. That's new to me, I'll read up :) Thanks!

hey everyone, does anyone know why JS might not save the valuables assigned inside the function? to be clear, I have a following click event:
var quoteout="";

$('.btn').click(function() {
var quote = Math.floor(Math.random()*20);
quoteout=arr[quote];
$('.space').text(arr[quote]);
});it works and the <p> with class "space" gets the new text, but quoteout is not assigned a new value! what can be the reason?

@bonifacyj https://jsfiddle.net/145h63hj quoteout gets the new value as expected, there's probably something wrong elsewhere in your code

@kirbyedy so all my titles appear as a link to you?
then should be some setting with my browsers I guess
no, I mean my camper news dont have that problem
yours do have
ah ok.Any Ideas ?
cause if you check my console.log I actually get the object and all links are there
and it is kinda random I don't really see a pattern
newsHTML += '<h4><a href=' + value.link + '>' + value.headline + '</a></h4>';
this line is critical
"<a href=" + "'" + value.link + "'" + ">" + value.headline + "</a>"
I compared it with mine, and adjusted for your code
it is working now

found what was wrong myself

@Swoozeki is it possible to align the icons in the middle?
@Swoozeki yes pixels works much better !
i { text-align: center; }
@tommygebru you should assign the round background to div rather than the icon itself. Then, you can position the icon however you want inside of the div circle

@tommygebru No problem! You can actually reset the CSS base in the CSS settings to remove all the default browser styling.
@kme211 what does that stylesheet look like? nvm found it thats pretty cool... is it best practice for designers to start with a reset?
@tommygebru It just resets everything. Removes padding, margins, default header stuff... http://cssreset.com/what-is-a-css-reset/
Not sure what normalize does.
@kme211 how do you start every project ?
@tommygebru I probably should do a reset every project but I just haven't remembered to do it for all of them. I do always turn the autoprefixer on though. And I use SCSS for the CSS and Babel for Javascript.
@kme211 nice! i didnt know about autoprefixer thanks... so i guess from here on out i will also begin using a css reset... does that change anything (css reset) if i am working mostly with flexbox?
tommygebru sends brownie points to @kme211 :sparkles: :thumbsup: :sparkles:
:warning: tommygebru already gave kme211 points
If you use the header elements
<h1>, <h2>, etc, you might notice that they look like regular text after the reset but it shouldn't do anything with flexbox, I don't think. It's mostly margins, padding, and font sizes. Here's an example of a reset: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
@tommygebru Oh, also... I include Universal Box Sizing with Inheritance in every project I start. It's so helpful.
html {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
*, *:before, *:after {
box-sizing: inherit;
}
@kme211 i've stayed away from before and after ... so far.... so I looked at box-sizing just now :thumbsup: it seems this is what causes the unfortunate whack a mole activity that is css sizing :smile: http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/box-sizing-secret-simple-css-layouts

look at variable secNum

secNum is blue at the top but yellow in the clear function
should be global right?

function clearCur()
{
Calculator.display('0')
secNum="0";

its yellow there, and should be blue

@avanbox it's within a function so the color is differnet
i thought that meant it wasnt recognizing the variable. Ive been having some scope problems, I thought that was it but probably some {} error on my part
so anything declared outside of all functions should be available to all functions correct?
@avanbox Yes. But if you declare the same variable name inside of a function and then call it in that function, it will find the local variable and not even look in the global scope.
ok

@leaguelism FCC is replacing the stylized-camper-news with the "tribute thingy". I wish I had known ahead of time.
@ninja-ml It certainly threw me for a loop.
Well since I don't know how to start my portfolio anyway, I'm going to do the tribute page since it seems alot easier
@leaguelism I actually did the whole camper-news thing and the tribute page looks a TON easier!
i stormed through the html and css challenges and now i forgot most of it lol
@FreeCodeCamp319 wow i wish they kept it then, oh well
@leaguelism I felt so stupid after I did the easy challenges and then faced the real web site creative process that I went back and did them all again. The second time I actually took notes on what I thought would be key to remember. I'm a nerd -- what can I say?! But what it really took to start the portfolio business was (after two weeks or so of being convinced that I didn't know enough) to take it one step at a time. I figured I could do the html part. Then I styled with css. Then I finally made inroads with js. I checked out books from our library and read lots of blogs. I really like css-tricks and David Walsh's pages. Don't give up!
@BLayman If you inspect your DOM in dev tools, you can see that your social icons
<ul> is actually inside the Web Design <li> dropdown so you're missing a couple of close tags.
Yah man, it's time to go back to level 1, it sucks but I gotta let go of my ego haha. I have to catch my bus now, but thanks a lot for the advice @FreeCodeCamp319 . Nice talking to you

Hello campers! I am trying to make bookmarks within a same page for the project "Build a Portofolio". The problem is that the link doesn't go to the desired bookmarks. My link is at line 12 and I want to go to line 91 with the id contact. Here is my pen: http://codepen.io/Jeckstex/pen/obJbjN
@leaguelism It's normal. We are all in the same boat. Practice, practice and practice. Don't see your learning curve as a straight line... That doesn't work this way. Don't try to remember everything at once. It comes once again with practice. Don't give up, and leave you the time to learn. :)
You have <a herf="***">, it is <a href="***"> @Jeckstex
change it to href and you should be good to go
@Jeckstex I notice that your anchor has "herf" rather than "href". Could that be part of the problem?
@Jeckstex You also need to look at the id of the sections you want to link to.. you have them labeled #block1 #block2 #block3 and in the href="#home"
thank you @FreeCodeCamp319 @clarkarnold my dyslexia didn't help on that one! I was struggling an hour on this!

Anytime, @Jeckstex
@Jeckstex you should remove <p> from <a>
just place text inside <a></a> for making text inside tag linked to the anchor
Ah okay, this form is more compact!
thanks for the tip @cyb3rD

@Jeckstex and also, I thunk that you should remove inline styles from <p> to external CSS. IMHO using inline styles not necessary here
your code will look more readable
@Jeckstex Doesn't it just get to you when it's something you've looked at a million times without seeing it?
okay, I will also try to do that! Yeah, I know my code is kind of messy^^ I will try to get better habits for my futur projects
@Jeckstex only practice will help to get good habits
@FreeCodeCamp319 well not this time, my eyes saw the right characters but didn't pay attention to the order.
I could use some help with my pomodoro clock, it is lagging for some reason.
Matt share your codepen and we can take a look
@FreeCodeCamp319 not a problem at all, thank you for the points :)

@MattTheWebDev got a link to your codepen?
hey getting a weird error while trying to redo the quote generator challenge
the error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :
the code
angular.module("DeveloperQuotes", [])
.controller("MainCtrl", ['$scope', '$http', function($scope, $http){
$scope.random = function(){
$http.jsonp('http://quotes.stormconsultancy.co.uk/random.json?callback=JSON_CALLBACK').success(function(data){
$scope.quote = json.parse(data);
});
};
}]);
here is a link to the project for anyone who prefers that

@haasDev Where do you get the 'unexpected token' error?
its on the returned json data
it gets it from the first colon in the json
@kme211 Sorry I was gone for a while. I'm not sure how to access dev tools. Is that just for chrome? Looking at the dom would be pretty helpful in this situation. Thanks.

@jharrowmortelliti I will once i get my project done
finishing this up for an application
This message was deleted
the code gets a bit convoluted, especially in the computers algorithm
but even some high level criticism is very helpful
This message was deleted
the name hasn't updated. It's tic tac toe
@jharrowmortelliti what are you working on?
the portfolio webpage
looks pretty good so far
"contact me... if you want to die"
lol.....
lol... the problem is the about me section is too small. I have no idea why because the css is exactly the same as the other sections
i'll take a look
