Sprint Challenge: JavaScript Fundamentals

This challenge allows you to practice the concepts and techniques learned over the past week and apply them in a survey of problems. This Sprint explored JavaScript Fundamentals. During this Sprint, you studied variables, functions, object literals, arrays, this keyword, prototypes, and class syntax. In your challenge this week, you will demonstrate proficiency by completing a survey of JavaScript problems.

Instructions

Read these instructions carefully. Understand exactly what is expected before starting this Sprint Challenge.

This is an individual assessment. All work must be your own. Your challenge score is a measure of your ability to work independently using the material covered through this sprint. You need to demonstrate proficiency in the concepts and objectives introduced and practiced in preceding days.

You are not allowed to collaborate during the Sprint Challenge. However, you are encouraged to follow the twenty-minute rule and seek support from your PM and Instructor in your cohort help channel on Slack. Your work reflects your proficiency in JavaScript fundamentals.

You have three hours to complete this challenge. Plan your time accordingly.

Commits

Commit your code regularly and meaningfully. This helps both you (in case you ever need to return to old code for any number of reasons) and your project manager.

Description

You will notice there are several JavaScript files being brought into the index.html file. Each of those files contain JavaScript problems you need to solve. If you get stuck on something, skip over it and come back to it later.

In meeting the minimum viable product (MVP) specifications listed below, you should have a console full of correct responses to the problems given.

Self-Study Questions

Demonstrate your understanding of this week's concepts by answering the following free-form questions.

Edit this document to include your answers after each question. Make sure to leave a blank line above and below your answer so it is clear and easy to read by your project manager

  1. Describe the biggest difference between .forEach & .map.

Both loop the entire array that is used with it, howerver, forEach is very open to what you can do and map returns an array that is diffrent from the original depending on the what it was told to look like. Map also cannot change the original array but forEach can.

  1. What is the difference between a function and a method?

a method is a function but now all methods are functions. Methods are functions that are assosiated with objects.

  1. What is closure?

A closure is a way to close your code off from the rest of the program. if I call a function everything in that function is closed off from what is outside of that scope, however, that function can still use the things found outside of it's scope.

  1. Describe the four rules of the 'this' keyword. GLOBAL THIS- By default this is looking at the global object (window) IMPLICIT BINDING- If a method is called this will be pointing at the object that method is bound to. (object.method) NEW BINDING - the keyword new creates a new object and runs the follow function with this pointing at that new object. EXPLICIT BINDING - A keyword can be used to define what this is when running a function
  2. Why do we need super() in an extended class? super() adds all the properties from the constuctor stated with extends to the new class being made.

Git Set up

  • Fork the project into your GitHub user account
  • Clone the forked project into a directory on your machine
  • Create a pull request before you start working on the project requirements. You will continuously push your updates throughout the project.
  • You are now ready to build this project with your preferred IDE

Minimum Viable Product

Your finished project must include all of the following requirements:

Pro tip for this challenge: If something seems like it isn't working locally, copy and paste your code up to codepen and take another look at the console.

Task 1: Objects and Arrays

Test your knowledge of objects and arrays.

Task 2: Functions

This challenge takes a look at callbacks and closures as well as scope.

  • Use the functions.js link to get started. Read the instructions carefully!

Task 3: Prototypes

Create constructors, bind methods, and create cuboids in this prototypes challenge.

  • Use the prototypes.js link to get started. Read the instructions carefully!

Task 4: Classes

Once you have completed the prototypes challenge, it's time to convert all your hard work into classes.

  • Use the classes.js link to get started. Read the instructions carefully!

In your solutions, it is essential that you follow best practices and produce clean and professional results. Schedule time to review, refine, and assess your work and perform basic professional polishing including spell-checking and grammar-checking on your work. It is better to submit a challenge that meets MVP than one that attempts too much and does not.

Stretch Problems

There are a few stretch problems found throughout the files, don't work on them until you are finished with MVP requirements!
