confirmed that this works:
but still would like to know how to regex parentheses!
inputTrimmed = inputLowercase.replace(/[^a-z0-9]/g,"");but still would like to know how to regex parentheses!
I had to use the octal codes - my final line looked like this:
thanks @kevinstonge :)
inputTrimmed = inputLowercase.replace(/\s|[,._-]|\050|\051/g,"");thanks @kevinstonge :)

@sjames1958gm i just embeded it because as a global function it was stopping after one quote
@Chrislearns I see you had split(" ") which wouldn't split on characters is that why you didn't use string?

@willcodes put random = into your click handler and pass it to randomQuote and changeBackground if you make it global it may only be computing it once.
Title Case a Sentence - I feel like this is poorly written (but it works!) what could I do better here?
function titleCase(str) {
inputAsArray = str.split(" ");
outputString = "";
for (i=0;i<inputAsArray.length;i++) {
outputString += inputAsArray[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase() + inputAsArray[i].slice(1).toLowerCase() + ((i == inputAsArray.length - 1) ? "" : " ");
}
return outputString;
}
@kevinstonge if you build an array and use join you don't have to make that test as join doesn't put a " " at the end
Hi Guys I was doing following the instructions below .Here Is Instructions and code .On line 4 in instructions i could not get it . nextInLine([], 1) should return 1
nextInLine([2], 1) should return 2
nextInLine([5,6,7,8,9], 1) should return 5
After nextInLine(testArr, 10), testArr[4] should be 10
nextInLine([2], 1) should return 2
nextInLine([5,6,7,8,9], 1) should return 5
After nextInLine(testArr, 10), testArr[4] should be 10
so in my for loop I should push to an array and thena fter teh for loop I should join to a string?
@kevinstonge Yeah. Actually this is a good one for arraymap
function titleCase(str) {
return str.split(' ').map(function(val) {
return val.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + val.toLowerCase().slice(1);
}).join(' ');
}
@kevinstonge getting it right is 90% of the battle at this stage in the game ... even in pro development houses, you first get it right ... and you pick up how to do things better as you go along ... keep makin' progress, getting thru the challenges ... :)
bah, I thought of using map but couldnt' see how it would work!
function nextInLine(arr, item) {
// Your code here
var res = arr.push(1);
var res1 = arr.shift();
return res1;
}
nextInLine([5,6,7,8,9,10,1],1);
thanks again @sjames1958gm I'm going to try to use map without looking at your code :)

@AidenMead @sjames1958gm That’s a good description. I was going to tell him to start with a simple if statement. That way he can get those synapses firing. Also go back over the previous challenges they have all the knowledge needed to get started. Learning how to connect the dots at that point is essential.
@sjames1958gm - my code for titleCase(str):
stringAsArray = str.split(" ");
fixedCaseArray = stringAsArray.map(function(val) { return val.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + val.slice(1).toLowerCase(); });
return fixedCaseArray.join(" ");I wonder if you'd mind commenting on how you know how much to stuff after the word 'return' because I see you put the whole damn function after the word return in your solution! Are there guidelines or rules for that?
@ndburrus Yeah that is the JSON input into the project -

@Chrislearns I figured the key would lay in the previous lessons, but I keep writing out code that just accesses nested objects and then get stuck, haha.
@kevinstonge You kind of have to judge whether the beginning to end loses the meaning, if it does then you have to split it up.

@sjames1958gm this is interesting. it appears that the links (listed in the exercise & that being used by the alternate source) are a little different. the alternate source link is: https://fcctop100.herokuapp.com for both local & session storage, while the exercise link offered adds (to the link mentioned) the following: /api/fccusers/top/recent (requirement #8) and /alltime (ending) (requirement #9). :sparkles:
@rahin1122 You should only use arr and item in your function - you are using arr, but you need to push item onto your array not 1
@ndburrus Interesting.

@rahin1122 this may be helpful: :sparkles:
@ndburrus I think the project score (x50) is not in the json.

so I have a really general question about javascript objects and nesting and such, but I think if I can wrap my head around it, it may make more sense, and it revolves around the record collection challenge
@kevinstonge yes, in this line, just do this:
return str.substr(-target.length) === target; true or false is inferred

hello can somebody help me with explaining the array method sort()?
I dont understand it and its very complicated to me
I passed the test but I want to know how
sort without any arguments will just sort from low to high or from a-z ... that's the easy part, I know...
a -b, b - a, thing is very complicated lol
@jminchew97 it's a function that's used to compare two things
alternatively you can include a compareFunction with a and b as arguments (a and be represent one item in the array and then the next item). whatever math you do with those items, if it returns a negative number, it will move a in front of b. it will loop through the array multiple times until it's all sorted
basically it applies that function to 2 items in the array
it'll swap them
otherwise, they'll remain in the same order relative to each other
[2, 1]
and you sort it using the function
(a, b) => a - b
so it swaps them
so it doesn't swap them
So this applies no matter what?
:P I decided not to pay attention to it just to be polite
yes, this applies to all sort functions
let foo = ["bazinga", "bingo", "baz", "quux"];
foo.sort((a, b) => a.length - b.length)
^ that will sort the strings in ascending order based on their length
doesn't matter what the array is, what it contains, it just follows those simple rules.
At least better than I did before.
Anyone have insight into the resolving the card counting problem. Just a direction is needed
evaluate card value and modify count value in one block, evaluate count value and return in another block @JasonSooter
@JasonSooter actually I think @Chrono79 is more experienced than me! So I'll let him help you.
@Chrono79 I've got the first part. Is a switch the best method?
Hello all! Can anyone explain why parseInt is used in the answer for the 'Where do I belong challenge?
function getIndexToIns(arr, num) {
// Find my place in this sorted array
arr.sort(function(a, b){
return a - b;
});
for(var i = 0; i<arr.length; i++){
if(arr[i] >= num){
return parseInt(i);
}
}
return arr.length;
}
getIndexToIns([1, 2, 3], 15);
Ok. Got that part. Wondering about the sequencing part though. Am checking them as an array?
@JasonSooter you evaluate just 1 card at a time in your function, in the tests, it's called several times
@Chrono79 yeah it does. I thought parseInt only accepted strings so I was a bit confused on why it would pass with that
Ok. got it. I was thinking about the objectives wrong. Thanks for your help.
function truncateString(str, num) {
return ((str.length <= 3) ? str.slice(0,num) + "..." : (num <=3) ? str.slice(0,num) + "..." : (num >= str.length) ? str : str.slice(0,num-3) + "...");

please I need some help, this method doed nto print myFather.name:

@kevinstonge
function truncateString(str, num) {

kevinstonge sends brownie points to @chrono79 :sparkles: :thumbsup: :sparkles:
:warning: kevinstonge already gave chrono79 points
this is blowing my mind ... how do you learn to code like that?
i am stuck on the challenge 'Record collection' for JSON objects
can anyone help me?
dry: don't repeat yourself, if you look at your code you'll see the same repeated
str.slice(0,num) + "..."
yeah, that's what makes it ugly .. I just can't muster the brain power to merge all of that into one tiny line like you did.
one thing I can apply from your code is putting the conditional statement as an argument. I've never done that. I can use that in the future pretty easily. :octopus:
@Chrono79 do you generally write your code out in longer form and then go back and refactor?
sometimes, yes, it's better to do it longer first and then trying to shrink it
So I'm stuck on adding an array to an object, I can't figure out the correct syntax to do so.
you really have to be specific, because in javascript, stuff like this is not an error:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] + {a: 1, b: 2}
// -> '1,2,3,4,5[object Object]'
is there a way to push things to the output/codeMirror for testing? For example: can I do a console.log and check a variable's value?
In record collection, the instructions read " If prop is "tracks" but the album doesn't have a "tracks" property, create an empty array before adding the new value to the album's corresponding property."
let object = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3};
if (!object.hasOwnProperty("tracks")) {
object.tracks = [];
}
object.tracks.push(5);
// -> {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, tracks: [5]}
the important line there is
object.tracks = []
I feel your pain @AidenMead - this one is hurting my brain too
if (prop === "tracks" && value === "") {
collection[id].tracks = [];
does that look right?
This isn't showing anything in the code window.
var testProp = collection.hasOwnProperty(prop);
console.log ("testProp = " + testProp);Why is that?
if
value is empty, you're supposed to delete the property
@jfx1026 that little window isn't console output
it's what your function returns
right, which I don't particularly understand, these instructions are rough, haha.
ok, so - how do I test a variable to see if it's actually doing what I think it should be?
ohhh, do I need to nest if/else statements to get it to effectively do both or none?
is that what I've been missing? hmmm
It's just that one that I can't get at all
@AidenMead - this is my mess, maybe we can help each other
function updateRecords(id, prop, value) {
var testProp = collection.hasOwnProperty(prop);
//console.log ("testProp = " + testProp);
if (testProp===false) {
collection[id][prop] = value;
if (prop === "tracks" && value === "") {
//collection[id].tracks = [];
var object = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3};
//set tracks
if (!object.hasOwnProperty("tracks")) {
object.tracks = [];
}
object.tracks.push(5);
}
} else {
return "WTF!";
}
return collection;
}
It's not working, so I don't know
I have a question about the increment lesson on Javascript. I'm using the ++ and it just doesn't want to take it
if (value !== "" && prop !== "tracks") {
collection[id][prop] = value;
And it seems to be working well so far, I have all but one of the test inputs testing out correctly, it's just the one "After updateRecords(5439, "tracks", "Take a Chance on Me"), tracks should have "Take a Chance on Me" as the last element." that's still returning negative.
I like the use of the && here, super logical - I just can't seem to make the mental leap to do something with the code after that
that one is failing for me also
So I was in the chat earlier and a couple of people led me to a link where there was a discussion about the instructions and how the old wording worked better, so I approached it with that.
Nevermind - though the lesson example is a little misleading
// Write a function which takes:
// an id, a property (prop), and a value.
function updateRecords(id, prop, value) {
// If value is non-blank (value !== "")
// and prop is not "tracks"
// then update or set the value for the prop.
// Your code here
// If the prop is "tracks" and value is non-blank,
// push the value onto the end of the tracks array.
// Your code here
// If value is blank,
// delete that prop.
// Your code here
// Always return the entire collection object.
return collection;
}
@AidenMead I know that you can't push with a JSON object, you have to use dot/bracket notation only
thanks for the look on that
I did use push
you can only push an Array - a coder friend tells me that JS doesn't use true Arrays, but you can create them.
So I tested that, took out my .push() line, and set it equal to the new value, and it actually caused a couple of the tests to come back negative.
I've been messing with it so much that I took my original solution (that gave me the most positives) and posted it in notes for safe keeping so I can play around.
Here's what I've got:
function updateRecords(id, prop, value) {
if (value !== "" && prop !== "tracks") {
collection[id][prop] = value;
} else if (prop === "tracks" && value !== "") {
collection[id].tracks.push(value);
} else if (value === "") {
delete collection[id][prop];
}
return collection;
}
however, when I run a test involving the .push() condition, i am actually getting an error
is it bad that it took me a half hour to figure this out?
function chunkArrayInGroups(arr, size) {
var j = Math.ceil(arr.length/size - 1);
for(i=0;i<=j;i++) {
arr.splice(i,size,arr.slice(i,i+size));
}
return arr;
}is there an easier way that I overlooked?
hi guys
am working on local weather app presently, I got my coordinates using geolcation object on JSFiddle but when I did same thing on codepen it didn't work, what might be the problem?

@Lumexralph and do you have a link? It could be a bunch of things but its probably related to https vs http
If you are using Chrome then it probably has to do with HTTPS. Here is a link to the doc that explains why it will not work. https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/native-hardware/user-location/obtain-location?hl=en
@Lumexralph
Sorry. That was intended for
@jfx1026 i found another way to get to the same spot that I'm in, with the same test input coming back negative. You having any luck?
function testLogicalAnd(val) {
// Only change code below this line
if (val <= 50) {
if (val >= 25 ) {
return "Yes";
}
}
// Only change code above this line
return "No";
}
// Change this value to test
testLogicalAnd(24);
you are combining both if statements into one
@AidenMead - rebuilt everything again and I'm in the same place - I think I'm getting closer though
I'm getting this error though now : collection[id][prop] = value;
@kevinstonge Thanks I did that but was missing the second Val. Thanks for the help

can anyone tell me why this code doesn't work? Trying to solve seek and destroy
I finally got it, had to re-write a line of code and post in in twice to work with my if/else statements without one contradicting the other, it seems
the error was caused my throwing in the failing test request - when I use any other the code works (without passing the one test)
That same thing was happening to me, I was stuck with the silly track "Take a Chance On Me" not returning positive.
But I would only get an error when I actually put in those test variables, otherwise it came back fine.
I've got the reverse - the one with "Free" is failing on me now
the 5th test
in "Escape Sequences in Strings" Assignment I am codding this but it is giving error
var myStr = "FirstLine \n \ SecondLine \ \r ThirdLine"; // Change this line
code here
function updateRecords(id, prop, value) {
if (value !== "" && prop !== "tracks") {
collection[id][prop] = value;
} else if (prop === "tracks" && value !== "") {
collection[id].tracks = [];
collection[id][prop].push(value);
} else if (value === "") {
delete collection[id][prop];
}
return collection;
}
// Alter values below to test your code
updateRecords(2468, "tracks", "Free");
hi guys! I'm stuck at the mad libs problem... I have absolutely no diea what to do or even where to start
I realized that we were both pursuing the right track, but seperately, so .hasOwnProperty is a factor
@AidenMead if I comment out 'collection[id].tracks = []; - the failed test switches from 5 to 2
what is wrong in this codding
Hey, I'm doing the Global vs. Local scope functions. I'm not sure why my code isn't working:
// Setup
var outerWear = "T-Shirt";
function myOutfit() {
// Only change code below this line
var myOutfit = "sweater";
// Only change code above this line
return outerWear;
}
myOutfit();
Yeah, that's where i realized the nested if/else statements came in, but also the .hasOwnProperty
Challenge is
Do not change the value of the global outerWear
myOutfit should return "sweater"
Do not change the return statement
if (value !== "") {
if (prop !== "tracks") {
collection[id][prop] = value;
} else if(!collection[id].hasOwnProperty("tracks")) {
collection[id].tracks = [];
collection[id][prop].push(value);
@MalickArsalan - check the markdown help for posting your code
In 'Seek and Destroy' the first step is to store the arguments in an array? Am I right?
@TheJamieCrawford it appears that you are trying to change the function name.. "myOutfit" is the function, whereas the variable "outerWear" is the variable that "myOutfit" it looking to change
if you type three of these
, then paste your code and three more, then your code will show up in black, like everyone else here - no screen shot needed
```
// Setup
var myObj = {
gift: "pony",
pet: "kitten",
bed: "sleigh"
};
function checkObj(checkProp) {
// Your Code Here
myObj.hasOwnProperty("gift");
return "pony";
}
// Test your code by modifying these values
checkObj("gift");
var myStr = "FirstLine\n\\SecondLine\\\ThirdLine"; // Change this line

var myStr = "FirstLine\n\\SecondLine\\\ThirdLine"; // Change this line
@TheJamieCrawford So look at each name, they are separate variables. So on the outside, you wear a t-shirt. The t-shirt is part of the outfit. One a very simple level, we need to do something to change the t-shirt, or "outerWear" because it's too cold. So we do something (a function labelled the general term"myOutfit") to change the outerWear. The way you have it set up, you're taking the function "myOutfit" and trying to change it, where you should be trying to change "outerWear".
Sorry if that makes it more confusing, haha. Trying to explain without re-writing the code ;)
@TheJamieCrawford Just saw you figured it out up a bit :+1:

Need help with falsy bouncer. here's my code. i only get 1/4 of the tests.
function falsy(value) {
if (value === false || value === null || value === 0 || value === undefined || value === "" || value === isNaN) {
return value;
}
}
function bouncer(arr) {
// Don't show a false ID to this bouncer.
return arr.filter(falsy);
}
bouncer([7, "ate", "", false, 9]);
@jod29 I'm stuck on the same one. One thing I'm finding is that isNaN literally means "is not a number" so it will filter things like "ate" because "ate" is not a number.
function testLogicalOr(val) {
// Only change code below this line
if (val > 10 || val < 20) {
return "Outside";
}
{
return "Inside";
}
// Only change code above this line
return "Inside";
}
// Change this value to test
testLogicalOr(10);
my code only gets the first two:
function bouncer(arr) {
return arr.filter(function(val){return (val===false||val===""||val===null||val===0||val===undefined) ? false : true; });
}
@jfx1026 - I have done but not sure what was my mistake in previous which was
var myStr = "FirstLine\n\\SecondLine\\\ThirdLine"; // Change this line and var myStr="FirstLine\n\\SecondLine\\\rThirdLine";
and now*
@jod29 rather than specifying every kind of falsy value to filter out, try only returning truthy values. check it: https://repl.it/Ccmi

@kevinstonge you could also return !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!val, so long as it was an even amount of exclamation points, haha.
@qualitymanifest I'm really surprised that works for the number 0.
I think that's what stopped me from even trying it that way
@TommyIzen you're going to need to use the
arguments object again on this one, and you don't want to convert it to a string
function testLogicalOr(val) {
// Only change code below this line
if (val > 10 || val < 20) {
return "Outside";
}
// Only change code above this line
return "Inside";
}
// Change this value to test
testLogicalOr(25);```
@Mrblue27 My bad, are you writing a function that checks if
val is > 10 AND <20?
@Mrblue27 If so, you need to change
|| (OR operator) into && (AND operator)
@alchermd that's not the case, the name of the function is testLogicalOr
@qualitymanifest Whoops. Have you solved it yet? What was the expected result for
testLogicalOr(25) ?
@alchermd No worries, totally understandable why you would want to check. Anyway, that should return Outside. this is the challenge https://www.freecodecamp.com/challenges/comparisons-with-the-logical-or-operator
@qualitymanifest Gotcha. It's quite confusing for me without understanding the context of the problem haha
yeah for sure. i generally just ask people to link to the challenge so i can see what's expected
@qualitymanifest In any case, I'm looking for some help too! Are you by any chance knowledgeable in RegExp?
hi guys, can anybody point out why I am not able to get weather info after I select city from the list box. here is my codepen : http://codepen.io/pragyesh31/full/PzERaV/
@qualitymanifest Here's what's up:
I'm currently on the Validate Us Numbers challenge
https://www.freecodecamp.com/challenges/validate-us-telephone-numbers
I'm aware that there's a bunch of RegExp challenges that I already passed, though I used some obscure long If-Else chains that checks for each value of the string. I guess this is the perfect challenge for me to really learn RegExp.
Would you mind guiding me step by step on what should I do in this challenge?
@alchermd so my solution to this ended up being a one-liner, and i wrote some pseudocode to help explain what's going on. i'll give you that pseudocode... one sec
here:
Allow a 1 and a space, then area code with BOTH parens or NO parens, then allow a space/dash, three more numbers, allow another space/dash, then the last four numbers. Nothing before or after
(parens === parenthesis)

i agree, this is a very good challenge to learn regex, and is worth taking the time to really figure out. if you're not familiar with using regex101.com for testing, check that out. if you haven't been through regexone.com 's tutorial, check that out. even after that tutorial you will probably still need to refer to MDN docs on regex quite a bit, to solve that one efficiently @alchermd
@kirbyedy did i do something for you or are you just passing out brownies to be nice?? also, dang that's quite a streak you've got!
Would anyone care to spare a moment to help me understand APIs? I literally can't even.
@qualitymanifest Thank you for the help mate! Just another one: let's say I successfully built my RegExp, what JS function do I pass it on to check if it matches
string ?

@qualitymanifest Gotcha. I'll get back to you if I have further questions! :D
I'd like some tips on "Seek and Destroy" - the following code works, but it can't possibly be the best way to do this:
var globalArguments = [];
function destroyer(arr) {
globalArguments[0] = arguments[1];
globalArguments[1] = arguments[2];
globalArguments[2] = arguments[3];
return arr.filter(function destroyFilter(val){return (val===globalArguments[0]||val===globalArguments[1]||(globalArguments[2]&&val===globalArguments[2])) ? false : true;});
}
I know a for loops seems to make sense, but it got mad at me for defining a function inside the for loop :\ ... the filter function.
@kevinstonge I guess you can use
in method of Array to check if val is in globalArguments to shorten your code.
@kevinstonge the compiler complains about making a function inside of a loop, but it will still work. Its how I did it. I'd show you my code for comparison, but it seems to be missing
Hey! I have coded this solution for 'Seek and Destroy'. What do you think? Is it a good approach or not? Please tell.
function getIndexToIns(arr, num) {
// Find my place in this sorted array.
var array = [];
array = arguments[0];
array.push(num);
array.sort(function sortArr(a, b)
{
return a - b;
});
return array.indexOf(num);
}
getIndexToIns([40, 60], 50);
@kevinstonge And there's no need in naming the callback function. You're not going to use it in your code anywhere except that
filter function, right?
@qualitymanifest its for the hint about that telephone number challenge
@faisal1337 it's fine but it's not good practice to name a variable "array". also you don't even need to make that variable... just use
arr which is passed into the function
:thumbsup:
@qualitymanifest Is it a good practice when you change a function arguments inside that function?
And the solution was for 'Where do I belong'. Mistake :D
@lx-t in this case, i don't see why not. you're changing it for one specific purpose, and you don't need it after that. and i was only recommending against calling a variable "array" because its a reserved word.
function destroyer(arr) {
globalArguments = arguments;
return arr.filter(function(val){return (val===globalArguments[1]||val===globalArguments[2]||val===globalArguments[3]) ? false : true;});

@qualitymanifest yes but I'm not sure how to use it in this situation
@qualitymanifest I didn't know that JS can change arguments and it costed me some time to debug my script. Now, I'm avoiding changing arguments inside a function. :)
@kevinstonge make a real array of the additional arguments (the ones that come after
arr). then run a filter on arr, removing the pieces of arr that are present (indexOf !== -1) in your newly made arguments array
function getIndexToIns(arr, num) {
// Find my place in this sorted array.
arr.push(num);
arr.sort(function sortArr(a, b)
{
return a - b;
});
return arrindexOf(num);
}
Changed it.
function getIndexToIns(arr, num) {
// Find my place in this sorted array.
arr.push(num);
arr.sort(function sortArr(a, b)
{
return a - b;
});
return arr.indexOf(num);
}
@qualitymanifest I mean, I was surprised that a function's arguments do not belong to local namespace of a function like in some other languages.

} else if (strokes <= par - 2) {

} else if (strokes >= par + 3) {
return "Go Home!";
}
// Only change code above this line
}
// Change these values to test
golfScore(4, 1);
how is this wrong?
@qualitymanifest isn't that basically what my code does? I just use an equality to check each argument instead of checking if the index is not -1.
@NeliusKnight try checking the return spellings. FCC wants it to be exact
if its still wrong, let me know
and THAT was the problem?!
@kevinstonge yes, but using an array of the other args and indexOf is less verbose, and, much more importantly, keeps you from having to hardcode in the number of extra arguments to filter

After I finish the Front End Section of FCC. What will be my level in JS. Beginner or Intermediate?
why did you delete it? :)
i don't like to leave solutions up... someone else might come by who is working on that and see the spoiler. anyway => is basically shorthand for function() {}
@kevinstonge so, make an array of the additional arguments. filter arr to remove pieces that are present in the additional elements
(piece of arr.indexOf(additional element array) === -1
err !== -1
Any suggestion on how to start? I'm thinking of a named array, with the character codes for each roman numeral from 1 - 9, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000
@Torgian basically yeah. make two arrays containing equivalent numbers and roman numerals at the same index. or one two-dimensional array. don't forget about 4, 9, 40, 90, etc, as those ones go by a slightly different pattern than the rest
TypeError: str.split("").toLowerCase is not a function. (In 'str.split("").toLowerCase()', 'str.split("").toLowerCase' is undefined) How do i fix this?
Well, this is what i have, using char codes for the available roman numbers (HTML char codes)
ah ok
Was thinking of using the numbers as "keys" so to speak
@Cal-culator can't lowercase an array
@qualitymanifest that => is somehow allowing you to access arguments from destroyer inside of your filter function ... but I think I understand how it works outside of that => thing! Thank you!

return arr.filter(function(val){return Array.from(globalArguments).indexOf(val) === -1;});

:star2: 1285 | @qualitymanifest |http://www.freecodecamp.com/qualitymanifest
@kevinstonge :+1: that is pretty much how i would do it in es5. only nitpicky things: it would be good to assign globalArguments with
var in front of it, and if you made it an Array at the same time as you assigned it, it wouldn't have to make a new Array on each iteration of the filter, so would be a little more efficient
var globalArguments = arguments;
doesn't that already make it an array since arguments is an array?
@Torgian i guess you could use the numbers as keys for the actual roman values
1: "I", 4: "IV" etc. but you're trying to make an object by wrapping it in [] when you should be wrapping it in {}. also, i think this one is just easier with arrays rather than objects
I want to replace all special characters with " ". Do I have to type all special characters manually or is there a term?
@kevinstonge
arguments is an array-like object (has numeric properties and .length property), but no array methods.
@kevinstonge then change it slightly inside the filter. it's a little more efficient, but nitpicky, you got the gist of it well
chaitanyaashtekar sends brownie points to @blauelf :sparkles: :thumbsup: :sparkles:
:star2: 2192 | @blauelf |http://www.freecodecamp.com/blauelf
@faisal1337 All functions have .call(), .bind(), and .apply() methods that change how a function is called. The .call() method can determine the calling object (thisArg, the value of this inside the method) and also arguments passed into the method. If call() is used on an array method, the thisArg can be an array like object (needs to have numeric properties
"0", "1" etc and .length property). So .call() allows calling array methods on array-like objects like strings (string wrappers are array-like), arguments objects, nodelists, etc. Also on your own array-like objects.

var x =new Boolean("null"); //I understand
if (x) console.log(1);
var y =new Boolean(null); //should'nt execute
if (y)console.log(2); //but does.why ??how do I know when I can chain methods and when I can't?
For example this works:
arr.sort().indexOf(n);
but this doesn't work:
arr.push(i).indexOf(n);
@kevinstonge because arr.sort returns an array on which indexOf works
@qualitymanifest Hey mate, so something like this you think? For the array?
@chaitanyaashtekar
if coerces values to Boolean type, so all objects coerce to true.
@kevinstonge but
arr.push(i) doesnt return an array

@chaitanyaashtekar @Masd925 is right. use
Boolean rather than new Boolean
~
@chaitanyaashtekar If you need to coerce a value to Boolean type, you should use the Boolean function
Boolean(val).
do you know of a shorthand way to stuff push and indexof into the same line? like that? :)
well you could use
.concat but that won't modify the array in place like .push does
@Masd925 okay. but from the mdn website----
Any object whose value is not undefined or null, including a Boolean object whose value is false, evaluates to true when passed to a conditional statement

actually comparison doesn't work that way for arrays
[1, 2, 3] !== [1, 2, 3] because they're different objects

then compare them

Hello folks.
I'm trying to understand, 'Nesting for loops'. I got a working solution, but I don't understand what 'j' is doing.
function multiplyAll(arr) {
var product = 1;
// Only change code below this line
var array = [arr];
for (var i=0; i < arr.length; i++){
for (var j=0; j < arr[i].length; j++){
product = product * arr[i][j];
}
}
// Only change code above this line
return product;
}
// Modify values below to test your code
multiplyAll([[1,2],[3,4],[5,6,7]]);It looks like 'j' is checking the length of the container array and then moving to the next item. However, how is it moving in and out of each of the nested arrays [0], [1] and [2]?
I think j is looping through each element of the specified array
because you have array of arrays
@leebut
arr[i] is one subarray and j loop loops through its indices.

// What's in a name?
var arr = [];
// Only change code below this line
// There was a for loop involved. The first part involved getting the keys from the source
sourceKeys = Object.keys(source);
return collection.filter(function (obj){
for(var i = 0; i < keys.length;i++){
if(!obj.hasOwnProperty(sourceKeys[i]) || obj[sourceKeys[i]] !== source[sourceKeys[i]]) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
});
}
// Only change code above this line
@leebut Yes, i means the arr element index (elements of arr are arrays).
And I tested in on a different machine just to make sure

@Masd925 Thank you. I partially understand it. I'm thinking that var product should be defined globally to make it accessible to console.log() or document.GetElementById("id").innerHTML = ;

@Cal-culator don't put the brackets...it shud only be a.join("");
@ekleung123
by doing a[i].join, you're saying only to join one element in the array, which wouldn't make sense
@ekleung123 If i write a.join(""), wouldn't it mean join all of the words together?
I just want it to join words together
doing a.join("") would convert the array into a string
With just .join(""), it becomes
'appleboycat', but you can define the delimiter as you like.
Hello. My name is Chris. I'm having a big issue with my hangman game that I feel like should have been simple. Can anyone help? I am trying to append the user's input(a single letter) to one of the underscores(which represents a missing letter). https://jsfiddle.net/jtpsj5eu/16/
function repeat(str, num) {
// repeat after me
if(num<0){
return "";
}
else {
var strs = "";
for(var i=0;i<num;i++){
strs +=str;
}
return '"'+strs+'"';
}
}
repeat("abc", 1);
@Cal-culator You're also not using the replace method propertly. In the replace method, you have to tell what you want to replace and what you want to replace it with. Example: string.replace("this","that");
@ekleung123 Going to fix that
@jiajinning - ur second return statement doesn't work. Just say "return strs"
@ekleung123 can i only use the replace function for strings?
function repeat(str, num) {
// repeat after me
if(num<0){
return false;
} else {
var strs = "";
for (var i=0;i<num;i++) {
strs +=str;
}
return strs;
}
// repeat after me
if(num<0){
return false;
} else {
var strs = "";
for (var i=0;i<num;i++) {
strs +=str;
}
return strs;
}
@Cal-culator - You can't use the replace method on arrays. Read this: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_replace.asp

@ekleung123 then how do i replace in array? I tried assigning but it didn't work
to replace one value over another, you just declare a value over it..for example, let's say your array = ["apple","boy","cat"]
if you want to replace boy with girl, you say array1 = "girl";
it's array[ 1] = "girl"
function titleCase(str) {
var a= str.split(" ");
var b=[];

d= c.join("").toUpperCase().split("");
b[0]=d[i];
a[i]= b.join("");
}
a.join(" ");
console.log(a);
}
titleCase("I'm a little tea pot");
you can say a = b.join("");
What i am trying to do is split the string below into individual words. And then in the loop, split the words into array.
@Cal-culator You might want to
str.toLowerCase().split(" ") (to remove uppercase letters within words), also, you don't return the result of a.join(" ") (it won't change a but return a string, which you currently ignore)

@Cal-culator I haven't done that exercise you're doing...but what is it supposed to return with titleCase("I'm a little tea pot")
@ekleung123 its supposed to return the first letters of each word upper case
So basically, it should return I'm A Little Tea Pot
Have you tried toLowerCase before splitting into words, and actually returning
a.join(" ")?
@Cal-culator the input material might be all-caps, and only the first letter should be uppercase.
This message was deleted
@Cal-culator
function titleCase(str) {
var a = str.split(" ");
var b = [];
for (var i=0; i<a.length; i++) {
b.push(a[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase());
}
return b;
}
var y = titleCase("I'm a little tea pot");
console.log(y);
this puts each letter in an array and returns the first letter of each word
@Cal-culator You are doing some odd things with your one-letter variables. I don't really understand why most of them are there. You might be better off giving them meaningful names, like "words" for "a" (it's an array of all the words), "word" or "currentWord" or something like that for "b" (it's an array of the characters in the current word), ...
For example. you call c.join, with c always being the empty array. The result of that line is an array containing a single empty string.

haha i misread the assignemnet, i thought it's supposed to only return the first letter in each word
its not much diff to return each word with the first letter capitalzied...i'll work on it now
Can anybody help me with the seek and destroy question? I am stuck as the input is taken as a single array.
but I do strongly recommend reading the MDN page they link to
yeah I tried that way but it did not pass all the sections... sure I will check on them. What is the use of object in this particular question?

@Blauelf Can you help me with this?
@MohammadHasham try to run through it mentally and see what it would be doing each time
@Benalron I have no clue about this challenge can you help me a lil
@Benalron How can i incorporate the filter?
@MohammadHasham the first run of the for loop causes the if statement to be, "if 1 == [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3]", so that doesnt trigger... the second run through is, if 2 == 2, return arr... so it's returning (ending the entire function, and giving the value of the entire arr)
@MohammadHasham remember, arguments[0] is the array
@Benalron then should i store the value in another variable?
and then return that at the end
@MohammadHasham thats one way to do it that would work... but you don't want to return... return ends the entire function
Yeah you need to make an adfitional if statement that checks if it has more then one value
@MohammadHasham but youre also checking each argument against only 1 items in the array... you need to make it so you are checking each argument (other than arguments[0], the array] against EVERY number in the array

@Cal-culator you dont need to declare so many arrays
@ekleung123 I know. I did it because i was starting to get confused.
i'm not sure that solution would work for every sentence you pass to titleCase
@Cal-culator remember arrays can have arrays inside of them, like, [ [0,1 ], [2,3 ], [3,4 ], [4,5 ], ]
@Cal-culator just try my code .... it does it properly
@Benalron I tried that but it didn't work the way I wanted so I tried a much more simple algorithm

C++ but haven't used it in a long time so need to refresh
@ekleung123 Java
yeah some of the syntax between java and javascript are similar
@ekleung123 yeah but JavaScript is so much more easier and more user Oriented
I tried java and got lost in it, but guys one question is it realy better than js? I mean can it do something that js cant?
It can't run on its own while Java can.
It depends on what you are trying to write.
hello everyone, please i want this code to remove the second and third arguments from the first argument which is the array. But it is returning true for every elem, i cant find the bug, or is there a better way to go about it?
function destroyer(arr) {
// Remove all the values
var basearr = arr[0];
var arglength = arguments.length;
var newarray = [];
for (var i = 1; i < arglength; i++) {
newarray.push(arguments[i]);
}
console.log(newarray);
var finalarray = arguments[0].filter(function(elem, index, array) {
elem = false;
for (i = 0; i < newarray.length; i++) {
if (newarray[1] !== elem) {
elem = true;
}
}
return elem;
});
arr = finalarray
return arr;
}
destroyer([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3], 2, 3);
I wouldnt agree with that there is nodeJS and it has v8 from google integrated in it @Cal-culator
@Promhize so it it supposed to return [1,2,3,1,2,3]
@Promhize You should try to find an argument equal to elem, and then return false. After loop return true.
supposed to return just [1,1] it is to remove the occurences of 2 and 3 @ekleung123
@Masd925 because the function can except different numbers of arguments, i cant hard code the arguments,so i decided to loop through them first and created an array from them
there seems to be something wrong with the loop, when i remove the loop and pass, newarray[1], it removes all the occurrences of 3

@leebut You return "No such contact" when there's at least one mismatch, not only if all the names are mismatches.
Meow, Anyone in the mood to explain a bit recursion to me? I seem to be getting wrong idea about how to factorialize a number
@MohammadHasham The var args line has to be inside destroyer, just like your consta function.
I'd switch that to a === and work from there. If it finds a match it should return something (and you'll need to build some conditional statements to return the correct thing)
@voidfire sure, recursion is basically you make a function with a base case that returns stuff, then if that base case isn't met you call the function again inside the function with an altered parameter
@MohammadHasham why would you put them outside destroyer function?
Both args line and the consta should be inside the destroyer.
@Blauelf Then i wont be able to use args in the second function
@faisal1337 Okay i'll try that
@MohammadHasham I told you to put both inside destroyer. If the function is inside the same scope, it can see args.
And then worry about the condition.
@Blauelf can you tell me about the API the sample project used? Random Quote Machine. What's its name?
codePen doesn't ask my location. Why?
$(document).ready(function(){

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position){

@MohammadHasham You have no return statement, so destroyer implicitly returns
undefined. Also, you never use consta. Oh, and consta would implicitly return undefined in all cases, too.
editor
use indexOf()
it will help.
@faisal1337 Now the condition would be made in second function?
@MohammadHasham Add return statements to both of your functions, and fix the condition in consta. If you want consta to be used by filter, it should not have a parameter named
args, since this shadows the variable in the outer scope.

@hnsxxscyx You might want to move the var arr2 = []; inside the outer loop, before the inner loop. This way you get a fresh array for each iteration of the outer loop.
And maybe you need a check like j<size && i<arr.length instead of just j<size for not including undefineds when arr.length is not a multiple of size.

@hnsxxscyx When pushing arr2 to arr1, you copy a reference to arr2 (or more to the object arr2 is referencing) to the end of arr1. When you change arr2 now, so does the array you just pushed. That's why you should replace the content of arr2 by another empty array.
It's like c, array is a address.
@leebut if you say return "no such contact" when contacts[i].firstName !== firstName ... it will return "no such contact" the very first time it finds an objects in which firstname is not the one passed to it... and since there are four different objects with four different first names; you will almost always get "no such contact" returned. you must begin with === and move from there.
and when it hits "return" the function exits and that value is returned, so anything written after that will not be executed.

@kevinstonge As my code is wrong, the system shouldn't give green ticks to show that part as working.
@kevinstonge yeah, but that is misleading me. It's not good to learn that way.
@MohammadHasham consta should take one argument, a value, You should then iterate args (ignoring the first element, as this is equal to arr), and compare the args element to the passed value. On match, return false, after the loop return true.
And no need for another loop in destroyer if you are going to use filter.
think of those checkboxes as clues to help you write the algorithm correctly; just because you get a green check mark, doesn't mean your algorithm is any good at all. You need to get them all and understand why you are getting each one.
@kevinstonge I've spent about 40 hours on this JavaScript section. A lot of that is from lack of clarity.

@MohammadHasham Remove that max thing. AND consta SHOULD TAKE AN ARGUMENT. Also, don't loop over arr in consta, but args. And still wrong condition, and true/false inverted.
There's little use in a function passed to filter if it does not take at least one argument.
Filter will call it with three arguments (the current element, its index in the array, and the array itself), and the function will ignore all of them.
For the "Build a Random Quote Machine" challenge, I'm supposed to find my own quote api? why don't they provide one?
Can only guess: Different people might prefer different quotes. And searching for an API that's appropriate and its documentation is a realistic task.
