Your task is to count the cats hidden in the backyard (presented by two-dimensional Array). Cats hide well, but their ears ("^^") are clearly visible. Your task is to implement the countCats(backyard) function that will count cats. Good luck!

Number of cats found should be number. If no cats found, function should return 0.

For example:

countCats([ [0, 1, '^^'], [0, '^^', 2], ['^^', 1, 2] ]) => 3

Write your code in src/count-cats.js.

To determine the age of archaeological finds, radioisotope dating is widely used. One of its types is radiocarbon dating.

The approximate age of the sample is calculated by measuring the ratio of the modern activity of the C14 isotope to the activity of the same isotope in the sample.

Your task is to implement the function dateSample(sampleActivity) that calculates sample approximate age (in years). Please use given MODERN_ACTIVITY and HALF_LIFE_PERIOD.

Function parameter sampleActivity is a string. Calculated sample age must be number.

Age must be integer. Age must be rounded up (ceiling). In case of wrong input parameter type or inadequate activity value or absence of argument function must return false.

For example:

dateSample('1') => 22387 (or 22392 depending on formula used)

dateSample('WOOT!') => false

Write your code in src/carbon-dating.js.

Imagine you and your friends decide to create a dream team. This team should have a cool secret name that contains encrypted information about it. For example, these may be the first letters of the names of its members in upper case sorted alphabetically. Your task is to implement the createDreamTeam(members) function that returns name of a newly made team (string) based on the names of its members (Array). Good luck!

Names of the members should be strings. Values with other type should be ignored. In case of wrong members type function must return false.

NB! Team member name may contain whitespaces.

For example:

createDreamTeam(['Matt', 'Ann', 'Dmitry', 'Max']) => 'ADMM'

createDreamTeam(['Olivia', 1111, 'Lily', 'Oscar', true, null]) => 'LOO'

Write your code in src/dream-team.js.

Your task is to implement the function getSeason(date) that accepts Date object and returns the time of the year that matches it. Time of the year must be string.

If the date argument was not passed, the function must return the string 'Unable to determine the time of year!'. If the date argument is invalid, the function must throw an Error with message Invalid date!.

Shh! An enemy scout has lurked among the arguments that come into this function.

He is guided by the famous proverb: “If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck (who cares what it really is)”. He is expertly disguised as a real date, but a clever javascript developer can catch him and throw an Error with message Invalid date! just in time!

For example:

const springDate = new Date(2020, 02, 31)

getSeason(springDate) => 'spring'

Write your code in src/what-season.js.

Tower of Hanoi is famous mathematical puzzle of the 18th century. It consists of three rods and a number of disks of different sizes, which can slide onto any rod. The puzzle starts with the disks in a neat stack in ascending order of size on one rod, the smallest at the top, thus making a conical shape.

The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following simple rules:

• Only one disk can be moved at a time.
• Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack or on an empty rod.
• No larger disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.

Your task is much easier than coming up with an algorithm that solves this puzzle :)

Implement the function calculateHanoi that accepts diskNumber and turnsSpeed parameters. diskNumber is a number of disks and turnsSpeed is the speed of moving discs (in turns per hour). Both parameters are numbers.

calculateHanoi function returns an object with 2 properties:

• turns (minimum number of turns to solve the puzzle)
• seconds (minimum number of seconds to solve the puzzle at a given turnsSpeed, seconds must be an integer, obtained from rounded down (floor) calculation result)

You don't need to validate parameters.

For example:

calculateHanoi(9, 4308) => { turns: 511, seconds: 427 }

Write your code in src/hanoi-tower.js.

Your task is to implement the function transform(arr) that takes an array and returns transformed array, based on the control sequences that arr contains. Control sequences are defined string elements of the mentioned array:

• --discard-next excludes the next element of the array from the transformed array.
• --discard-prev excludes the previous element of the array from the transformed array.
• --double-next duplicates the next element of the array in the transformed array.
• --double-prev duplicates the previous element of the array in the transformed array.

For example:

transform([1, 2, 3, '--double-next', 4, 5]) => [1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5]

transform([1, 2, 3, '--discard-prev', 4, 5]) => [1, 2, 4, 5]

The function must not affect inital array. Control sequences are applied from left to right to initial array elements. Control sequences do not fall into the transformed array. Control sequences in initial array don't occur in a row. If there is no element next to the control sequence to which it can be applied in the initial array, or this element was previously deleted, it does nothing. The function should throw an Error with message 'arr' parameter must be an instance of the Array! if the arr is not an Array.

Write your code in src/transform-array.js.

Let's practice in chaining!

Your task is to create the object chainMaker that creates chains. The finished chain is a string and looks like this: '( value1 )~~( value2 )~~( value3 )'. The chainMaker has several methods for creating chains and modifying them:

• getLength returns the current chain length as a number;
• addLink(value) adds a link containing a string representation of the value to the chain;
• removeLink(position) removes a chain link in the specified position;
• reverseChain reverses the chain;
• finishChain ends the chain and returns it.

addLink, reverseChain and removeLink methods are chainable, while the another ones are not. If addLink is called with no arguments, it adds an empty link ('( )') to the chain. If removeLink accepts invalid position (e.g. not a number, or a fractional number, or corresponding to a nonexistent link), it must throw an Error with message You can't remove incorrect link!. After calling the finishChain method, the existing chain must be deleted, as if an Error was thrown.

For example:

chainMaker.addLink(1).addLink(2).addLink(3).finishChain() => '( 1 )~~( 2 )~~( 3 )'

chainMaker.addLink(1).addLink(2).removeLink(1).addLink(3).finishChain() => '( 2 )~~( 3 )'

chainMaker.addLink(1).addLink(2).reverseChain().addLink(3).finishChain() => '( 2 )~~( 1 )~~( 3 )'

Write your code in src/simple-chain.js.

Your task is to implement the class DepthCalculator with method calculateDepth that takes an array and returns its depth.

calculateDepth method must pass the given array recursively. Depth of a flat array is 1. Method must correctly work with arrays that contain no elements or contain empty arrays.

For example:

const depthCalc = new DepthCalculator();

depthCalc.calculateDepth([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) => 1

depthCalc.calculateDepth([1, 2, 3, [4, 5]]) => 2

depthCalc.calculateDepth([[[]]]) => 3

Write your code in src/recursive-depth.js.

Your task is to implement the function repeater(str, options). This function returns a repeating string based on the given parameters:

• str is a string to repeat;
• options is an object of options, that contains properties:
  • repeatTimes sets the number of repetitions of the str;
  • separator is a string separating repetitions of the str;
  • addition is an additional string that will be added to each repetition of the str;
  • additionRepeatTimes sets the number of repetitions of the addition;
  • additionSeparator is a string separating repetitions of the addition.

The str and addition parameters are strings by default. In case when type of these parameters is different, they must be converted to a string.

separator and additionSeparator parameters are strings.

repeatTimes and additionRepeatTimes are integer numbers (in the absence of any of them, the corresponding string is not repeated).

The only indispensable parameter is str, any others may be not defined. separator default value is '+'. additionSeparator default value is '|'.

For example: repeater('STRING', { repeatTimes: 3, separator: '**', addition: 'PLUS', additionRepeatTimes: 3, additionSeparator: '00' }) => 'STRINGPLUS00PLUS00PLUS**STRINGPLUS00PLUS00PLUS**STRINGPLUS00PLUS00PLUS'

Write your code in src/extended-repeater.js.

Cryptography is awesome! Let's try to organize production of encryption machines. Our machines will use one of the encryption methods that are easy to understand, but also not amenable to simple cryptanalysis - the Vigenere cipher.

Our machine will have 2 modifications: direct and reverse (the type of machine is determined at the moment of creation). The direct machine simply encodes and decodes the string that was transmitted to it, and the reverse machine returns an inverted string after encoding and decoding.

Your task is to implement the class VigenereCipheringMachine. constructor of this class accepts true (or nothing) to create direct machine and false to create reverse machine. Each instance of VigenereCipheringMachine must have 2 methods: encrypt and decrypt.

encrypt method accepts 2 parameters: message (string to encode) and key (string-keyword).

decrypt method accepts 2 parameters: encryptedMessage (string to decode) and key (string-keyword).

These parameters for both methods are mandatory. If at least one of them has not been given, an Error with message Incorrect arguments! must be thrown. The text returned by these methods must be uppercase. Machines encrypt and decrypt only latin alphabet (all other symbols remain unchanged).

You don't need to validate value sent to constructor and to encrypt and decrypt methods (except throwing an Error on absence of argument for these methods).

For example:

const directMachine = new VigenereCipheringMachine();

const reverseMachine = new VigenereCipheringMachine(false);

directMachine.encrypt('attack at dawn!', 'alphonse') => 'AEIHQX SX DLLU!'

directMachine.decrypt('AEIHQX SX DLLU!', 'alphonse') => 'ATTACK AT DAWN!'

reverseMachine.encrypt('attack at dawn!', 'alphonse') => '!ULLD XS XQHIEA'

reverseMachine.decrypt('AEIHQX SX DLLU!', 'alphonse') => '!NWAD TA KCATTA'

Write your code in src/vigenere-cipher.js.

For example:

encodeLine('aabbbc') => '2a3bc'

Write your code in src/encode-line.js.

There's a list of file, since two files cannot have equal names, the one which comes later will have a suffix (k), where k is the smallest integer such that the found name is not used yet. Your task is to implement function that accepts array of names (names) and returns an array of names that will be given to the files.

For example:

renameFiles(["file", "file", "image", "file(1)", "file"]) => ["file", "file(1)", "image", "file(1)(1)", "file(2)"]

Write your code in src/file-names.js.

In the popular Minesweeper game you have a board with some mines and cells that have a number in it that indicates the total number of mines in the neighboring cells. Starting off with some arrangement of mines we want to create a Minesweeper game setup.

For example:

const matrix = [
 [true, false, false],
 [false, true, false],
 [false, false, false]
];
