What naming conventions does your colleague have in mind?
@riverspirit i wouldn't prefix like that for anything else tho.
@riverspirit a prefix of "dom" makes no sense, primarily because literally nobody does that, and literally everybody uses the $ prefix/
What did you have in mind when you said "i wouldn't prefix like that for anything else tho"?
the $ function produces a jquery object, with jquery methods
$ means jquery, and nobody uses prefixes for anything else
Thanks for your thoughts again @ljharb
it's called callbacks
they're pretty good, you should try them sometime
if you don't like those you can try promises or tasks
promises are more popular but they're for normies
you must know how they work to use await properly.
and you can definitely shim promises in IE
async/await shim for IE?
is there a consensus on factory function naming? #23.7 says to use camelCase when exporting single functions and #23.8 about PascalCase does not mention factories, so i would assume camelCase. also, what's the preferred naming convention for factory factions? createSomething / makeSomething / somethingFactory / etc?
there's no preferred convention, use whatever makes the most sense for your use case
can any one help this one
Write a program that takes two strings as input and outputs two numbers, n1 and n2.
The output values indicate a degree of matching between the two strings:
n1 : number of letters in one string that each match in value and
in position to a letter in the other string.
n2 : number of letters in one string that each match in value,
but not in position to a letter in the other string.
Some notes:
- the output should be the same if the two strings were swapped
- each letter instance in a string may only participate in one match.
- if a letter instance can participate in either n1 or n2, it is to be counted towards n1.
- the two strings may or may not be of the same length.
Some examples (str1, str2 -> n1,n2):
"abc", "abc" -> 3,0
"bca", "abc" -> 0,3
"aab", "abb" -> 2,0
"aab", "aba" -> 1,2
"abc", "aaa" -> 1,0
