Full Stack Web Development - Lab 1: Testing, FizzBuzz, and Fibonacci

Classic programming interview questions!

1. Fork the repository to your own Github account

   • Don't have a Github account? Go get one and then come back!

2. Clone the repository to your own machine

   Huh? What does that even mean? Short version: you need to create a copy of the code on your machine, and "cloning" is git's way of doing that.

   But where? Well, I like to set up a special directory on my machine to hold all my programming projects (~/Code). Just open up a terminal window and run mkdir Code on the prompt (mkdir = "Make directory"). After you have done that, run cd Code to change to that directory and then run the git clone command.

3. After cloning, run cd fswd-lab-1 to change your shell's working directory to your copy of the project.

4. Run npm install to install the node modules for the project, then npm test to run the tests.

5. Everything passes! Grab yourself a cookie; you're all done.

6. Yeah, I was kidding. You're not done at all!

7. Look at the files in the code. Tests are in tests/ and the function skeletons are in lib/.

8. The first cases are implemented and tested (fizzBuzz(0) and fib(0)). Start by writing tests for the next case (1) and expand the function to handle it correctly.

9. Then 2, then 3, …
