@HeinousTugboat ok I'm conufsed about the slicing bit
Alright, what've you got so far?
bare with me gimme like just 2 more mins to figure this out then I'll show you
(one last attempt )
Sure sure!
@HeinousTugboat goddamn it
I finally figured it out lol
took me long
here it is
var counter = 0;
var a = "#";
var counterForSlice = -7
while(counter < 12){
if(a.length <=7){
console.log(a);
a+="#";
}else{
var res = a.slice(counterForSlice);
console.log(res);
counterForSlice++;
}
counter++
}
but I notice what always gets me is putting my results into variables, that always throws me off for some reason
Yeah, doesn't actually have an 8-line.
And stops a touch prematurely.
yup I'll fix it now
Progress, though!
And yeah, that's what I meant about state.
@HeinousTugboat slow progress :/
@HeinousTugboat aaahhhhhh
notes taken
State, as far as I'm familiar, is basically the bits of information that make up the app/algorithm/whatever.
In this case, it's things like "what loop are you on", and "which direction are you going".
it's basically like saving the game or something I dunno how to put it
but my mind is always assuming the programming already knows what state its in lol
Saving the game is basically dumping the state of the game to a file so you can reconstitute it later. :-)
See, the programming does. But you need to be able to tell it how to react to that state, and you have to create state where you want it to be.

@akosuadenell i don’t know swift but it looks like you are attempting to use a regEx without using a regEx.

@relentless-coder that’s a css thing. with js, and the browser api, you can know the scroll location. the technique is called parallax
why isn't anything showing up after I added the constructor? Help pl0x
@VikrantSingh13 kindly refer to the error that's popping up on your pen
@VikrantSingh13 There is a red circle with ! in it that tells you where the error is.
You have to change the syntax on your render function

do you people know any updated react tutorial or courses I can learn from?
already did that a bit more advanced please
are we still using redux?
almost done with this. getting the error "this.setState is not a function" What am I missing here?
https://codepen.io/vikrantsingh13/pen/eGGgGR
https://codepen.io/vikrantsingh13/pen/eGGgGR
@VikrantSingh13 are you binding the
this context?
no you are not. The this context of the callback is in a different context... you need to bind it to have an access inside the callback...
also setState is a function: this.setState()
@Marmiz ay got it thanks

@VikrantSingh13 personal suggestion: start using ES6 syntax, makes everything easier.
instead of manually binding, for example you can use arrow function that does not bind the context.
addMarkup = (e) => this.setState({...})
@Marmiz okay so it works so far, however how I do call the rawMarkup function after I have added stuff to the markdown section?
** do I
setState
accept also a callback function:
setState(updater[, callback])So you could call your markup function after setState is done updating the values.
Or you could for example set the inner markup with
dangerously setinnerhtml
dangerously setinnerhtml

how do you <br> in javascript
???
what do you mean?
@Juke-Magic you dont <br> in javascript you <br> in html in javscript if you want to split a string to a new line , you must put \n inside the string.
Send Action Data to the store (Redux FCC Beta)
const ADD_NOTE = 'ADD_NOTE';
const notesReducer = (state = 'Initial State', action) => {
switch(action.type) {
// change code below this line
case ADD_NOTE:
return action.text
// change code above this line
default:
return state;
}
};
const addNoteText = (note) => {
// change code below this line
type:ADD_NOTE,
text:note
// change code above this line
};
const store = Redux.createStore(notesReducer);
console.log(store.getState());
store.dispatch(addNoteText('Hello!'));
console.log(store.getState());when i check the console i get the error saying unexpected token near text:note (addnoteText function)
no objective gets ticked
anybody?
@zifahm actions should return plain object... your addNote is not returning anything.
Mind that the curly will be evaluated as body function in your arrow function
Mind that the curly will be evaluated as body function in your arrow function
ohh thanks
@Marmiz how do i update the state in the case ADD_NOTE
@zifahm what's your goal?
@Marmiz You need to add a case that handles the addNoteText() actions. This case should be triggered whenever there is an action of type ADD_NOTE and it should return the text property on the incoming action as the new state.
ohh wait it worked
then returning the action text seems correct
have you fixed your action creator?
@Marmiz thank you so much

hi there! I am not sure where to ask for help. I am learning React on beta FCC. And I can't pass a task
Here is my code
What is wrong with it?
React: Add Event ListenersHere is my code
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
message: ''
};
this.handleEnter = this.handleEnter.bind(this);
this.handleKeyPress = this.handleKeyPress.bind(this);
}
// change code below this line
componentDidMount() {
document.addEventListener('keypress', this.handleKeyPress);
}
componentWillUnmount() {
document.removeEventListener('keypress', this.handleKeyPress);
}
// change code above this line
handleEnter() {
this.setState({
message: this.state.message + 'You pressed the enter key! '
});
}
handleKeyPress(event) {
if (event.keyCode === 13) {
this.handleEnter();
}
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>{this.state.message}</h1>
</div>
);
}
};What is wrong with it?
Can you give the link?
I thinks it wants a
keydown event, not a keypress

Is the person above me and CamperBot a bot? He sends the same "thx" message to the same person around this time everyday.
:point_up: January 14, 2018 4:11 PM, :point_up: January 13, 2018 5:07 PM
Yes, camperbot is a bot that belongs to FreeCodeCamp. He gives points (aka cookies/brownies) when thanking people when they are mentioned.
@ezioda004 Most likely he is just thanking both times for some help he got earlier. Happens very often here.

@ezioda004 @mstellaluna I think i know why he does it, might be because of the streak, he's trying to keep alive, 1 item each day, if cookies are counted as an item on FCC thats why this is being done...dunno if it matters much though :)
the issue is not cookie trading, it happens in most room, the issue is finding if he is a bot
yea thats why i said, dunno if it matters much, though being new to this i like a riddle, there is always a why :)
i don't think it matters, i'm more concerned about the plans to merge rooms or the fact the chat is hard to find for newcomers
It's interesting to see what people do to keep them green squares glowing everyday.
well once you're considered a regular people give you cookie for no reason so there's that
also since it's not as the same hour everyday, isn't the guy simply multiboxing ? (assuming it's not just someone giving him cookies the normal way)
Prob want to keep the streak alive, without coming to glitter
Thats possible too..but the same message is a pattern so idk, or if hes a person then not a smart one, atleast vary your message
lol
i'm more worried about my github streak
on that note time to upload one of my challenges xD
gamification at its best again hacking the minds of the unexpecting
Lol I figured that out, the fcc projects Im working on Im committing as I do so its keeping the streak alive
yeah, i put one of my old challenge once a day
but i'll run out soon
Then maybe revist some of the old projects and add more features? Maybe make code more readable, add comments and stuff
haha
git commit -m "Added 2 comments"
i'll try doing actual work, doesn't hurt once in a while ^^
@RomchyFCC yea the account was banned from the room
happy with the ban hammer eh ?
bots aren't allowed in any FCC room unless you have permission from FCC
Who? The person hes sending cookies to?
cool beans, good to know if i ever develop a bot(small chance :D)
@JavierPons - re: :point_up: January 15, 2018 7:54 AM - It's hard to see with the way that the code is posted but I don't see the body and the element that has the class
sympa on it? If you can repost your code with the three backticks ``` on separate lines before and after the code it would make it easier to see, and also keep any code that might have been in there from being interpreted by the gitter page?
LOL streaks and brownie points!
Hi, does anybody know how to make the correct link for a Tumblr share with quote content? I'm using this and it's not working: https://www.tumblr.com/share/tool?data-content=' and I'm kind of confused how to do it going by this documentation : https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/share_button
Question for all beginners and experienced alike: The navigation in the default CSS. How do you make the navigation bar, do you use floats or text-align?
i use
nav{
position: fixed;
z-index: 2;
}but i'm really bad at CSS so i'll suggest you ask for more opinions ^^
it's mostly out of curiousity, you've definetly sparked it
but with you method, how do you push other elements down when you aren't scrolled a bit further down the page
i assume the nav covers up some of the web page
it does
well, like if you -really- want to know
https://codepen.io/Gersho/pen/gmgPBG?editors=1100
https://codepen.io/Gersho/pen/gmgPBG?editors=1100
but fair warning, it's bad
.airbag {
height: 60px;
}
hahahah
oh wait that one uses js
you can do it with just css
when i get serious about my web page, i make my navbar hidden but it appears when you mouse over the top of the page no matter how much you're scrolled down
i was just wondering with basic CSS what people use
maybe some hidden rendering times are better or something :)
@Gersho it looks fine, i like the design it's a bit wierd at first but you get used to it :D
i have design issues yes, still haven't done my portfolio, but i don't want to copy
and you shouldn't probably, it should show your style and your character IMO
my character hopefully, my style i hope not xD
:$ oh my i just read your welcome text hahaha highlight of my day
i started it that way thinking about those folders with colored separations you have in real life (don't know what it's called)
like those things
:D so planning on adding more then i assume. My life A-Z in a nav bar :D jkjk
don't really have plans yet, but adding more is easy yes
harder part will be picking the colors
you can just repeat them like in the photo :)
oh
thanks @RomchyFCC

So I’m writing a program with ES6 syntax, and I want to make a counter to keep track of a turn count. Any reason not to make this available in the global scope?
@jjzep that is just a good practice to not use a global scope.
I suppose I could define the default value in a constructor and iterate that
I am trying to use a variable inside a regular expression.
var regex = new RegExp(/repeated[0]{2,}|repeated[1]{2,}/, 'gi');
where repeated is "ab"
@CoderPrans
/repeated[0]{2,}|repeated[1]{2,}/ this is a regex, try passing a string to RegExp()
@sjames1958gm like "repeated[0]{2,}|repeated[1]{2,}"
@CoderPrans Yes
stil not working..
@CoderPrans Oh, you need to get the value of the variable into the string not the variable name, my bad
repeated + "[0][{2,}|" + repeated + "[0][{2,}"
maybe like this
maybe like this
var regex = new RegExp(repeated + "[0]{2,}|" + repeated + "[0]{2,}", 'gi'); permute.forEach(function(x){
var y = x.replace(regex, '');
revised.push(y);
}); // still not working
var y = x.replace(regex, '');
revised.push(y);
}); // still not working
@sjames1958gm
var ist = repeated[0];
var znd = repeated[1];
var regex = new RegExp(ist + "{2,}|" + znd + "{2,}", 'gi');

hey all, can anyone help me out with the "React and Redux: Extract Local State into Redux"(https://beta.freecodecamp.org/en/challenges/react-and-redux/extract-local-state-into-redux) challenge? I keep getting an error when trying to pass in
submitMessage() {
this.setState({
input: ''
});
this.props.dispatch(submitNewMessage(this.state.input));
} for my method - the error I'm getting is "submitNewMessage is not defined"
code pen for solution -> https://codepen.io/cjlynch12/pen/RxYNob?editors=0010#
got it, had to do
var permi = perm(str); and use permi instead, but i dont understand why the previous one did not work.
@cjlynch12 figured it out - if anyone else has trouble down the line the submitMessage method should look like this:
submitMessage() { this.setState({input: ''}); this.props.submitNewMessage(this.state.input)); }
@cjlynch12 Just to extend on why this is: you already do the
dispatch of the action inside of submitNewMessage: dispatch(addMessage(message))
So the
submitNewMessage function fully triggers the action already, without having to connect it to the store through dispatch anymore

Hi, can anyone help me with this challenge? I'm not understanding how to generate a Fibonacci sequence.
@Feldbot what part of it arent you understanding?
@Feldbot In Fibonacci sequence every number is sum of previous two. Example the first 5 numbers in sequence are:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5. As you can see 1+1 = 2, 1+2 = 3, 2+3=5 and so on. So say you define x = 1 and y = 1, you can guess the fibonacci sequence by doing z = x + y. Now the next number would be sum of previous two numbers ie y + z so all you need to do is assign them to each others.
