#Functions Training
Overall, I did not have much trouble with these besides the occasional typeo. The pyramid challenge at the end was fun and gave me a bit of trouble, but I was able to work through it.
Return a new string that is the combination of two arguments passed into the function
Example: dog
and house
will display doghouse
function combineWords(word1, word2) {
// TODO: Place your code here
}
var result = combineWords('dog', 'house');
console.log(result);
// displays 'doghouse'
Display an argument phrase to the console n times
function repeatPhrase(phrase, n) {
// TODO: Place your code here
}
repeatPhrase("Hello", 5);
// displays
// Hello
// Hello
// Hello
// Hello
// Hello
Return number power without using built-in Math
functions
Example:
45 = 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 = 1024
function toTheNthPower(number, power) {
// TODO: Place your code here
}
var result = toTheNthPower(4, 5);
console.log(result);
// displays 1024
Return the area of a circle given the radius
background information
function areaOfACircle(radius) {
// TODO: Place your code here
}
var result = areaOfACircle(2);
console.log(result);
// displays approximately 12.57
Return c given a and b
background information
function pythagoreanTheorem(a, b) {
// TODO: Place your code here
}
var result = pythagoreanTheorem(3, 4);
conosle.log(result);
// should display 5;
Return a boolean value whether or not X can be divided by Y without any remainders.
Hint: Explore the world of Modulus operators!
function isXEvenlyDivisibleByY(x, y) {
// TODO: Place your code here
}
var result = isXEvenlyDivisibleByY(99, 3);
console.log(result);
// displays true
Return the number of occurrences of vowels in a word.
Vowels are a
, e
, i
, o
, u
, and y
function countVowels(word) {
// TODO: Place your code here
}
var result = countVowels("stealing");
console.log(result);
// displays 3
Challenge: Can you alter the code to count both upper case AND lower case?
Given an array, return true
if it contains the string "wdi" and false
if it does not contain that string.
Example:
findWdi([9,'Bart Simpson', true, 'wdi']) // returns true
findWdi(['a','b','c']) // returns false
function findWdi(arr){
// TODO: Place your code here
}
Display a simple triangle with asterisks
Example:
printTriangle(5)
*
**
***
****
*****
function printTriangle(length) {
// TODO: Place your code here
}
printTriangle(3);
// displays
// *
// **
// ***
Example: printPyramid(10);
*
* *
* * *
* * * *
* * * * *
* * * * * *
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * *
Warning: This is a surprisingly tricky interview-level exercise. Try at your own risk!
function printPyramid(length) {
// TODO: Place your code here
}
