[SOLVED] :learn and practice javascript syntax and use built-in and user-defined functions web222 assignment 2

This assignment will help you learn and practice JavaScript syntax and use built-in and user-defined functions. It will also help you set up your web development environment and learn some industry-standard tooling for JavaScript.You must do this and all future assignments on your own. You should not work in partners/groups, not use ChatGPT, Copilot, or other AI coding assistants, and all code must be written by you. Gaining experience with JavaScript and the web takes a lot of personal practice and working on these problems yourself will help build your skill.If you get stuck, please speak with your professor.  Do not copy other student work.  It is important that you learn and understand the concepts in the assignment.You can also watch a video on YouTube that shows how to setup and work on this assignment, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RuLrmVDOw8To hand in your work, see the “Submitting your Assignment” section below. There are two ways to complete this assignment:A) Finish all problem sets (npm run test should return 100%). Only select one!This assignment uses a technique called “Unit Testing,” and relies on a number of dependencies, which must be installed on your computer. A dependency is a library, tool, or other piece of software that is needed in order to build, test, and run another piece of software.JavaScript and web projects often rely on hundreds or thousands of dependencies, and getting used to installing and using them is an important step.In order to install these dependencies, you must first install Node.js on your computer. See installation instructions at:https://nodejs.org/en/You can install the LTS (Long Term Support) version of node.js, which is currently 18.17.1, although any 18.x.x version should work.Open a command line terminal (e.g., cmd.exe) and navigate (i.e., cd) to the directory where you have unzipped the assignment files. When you type dir (Windows) or ls (Linux/macOS) you should see the src directory, package.json file, etc.In this directory, install the assignment dependencies using the Node.js Package Manager command, named npm. The npm command is installed along with node.js. In your terminal, type the following:npm installThis will download and save all the necessary dependency files to a folder named node_modules/ in the current directory.  You should see a node_modules folder next to your package.json.If you have trouble getting “npm install” to work:If you need help, ask your professor for help.You will need a proper code editor to develop for the web. The most popular choice is Microsoft Visual Studio Code (aka, VSCode). VSCode runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. You can download and install it for free from:https://code.visualstudio.com/NOTE: VSCode is not the same as Visual Studio. You should have both installedA number of extensions are available that will work automatically with the scripts and configuration in this project, and are recommended:When you open this project’s folder, VSCode should offer to install these recommended extensions. Once these are installed VSCode will automatically show you errors as you type, automatically format your code when you save, and show you spelling mistakes in your code comments and names.If you want to use a different editor, that’s fine. Confirm with your professor that it will work for our needs. You may not use Notepad, for example.The assignment has a mix of project configuration and source code.  All of the config files are in the project root, and the source code is contained in the src/ directory (this is a common pattern).  Your code goes in the src/solution.js file.  The other files in this directory are unit tests, which you should read, but don’t need to modify.You are asked to complete the code in the file src/solutions.js. A basic file layout has already been created with various functions and variables. Also, detailed comments have been left above each function you need to implement.In addition, unit tests have been written for each function. They are named src/problem-00.test.js, src/problem-01.test.js and so on.  A Unit Test tests the smallest possible unit of a software system or component, and we write many small Unit Tests to prove that our implementation works as we expect.For example, we expect 2 + 2 to return 4, not 5. We can write a unit test for this to confirm that our code does what we expect. See http://softwaretestingfundamentals.com/unit-testing/ for more info about unit tests.These tests will help you determine if your code is working correctly: running the tests should produce the output that the tests expect, and the tests will either pass or fail.To run the tests, use the npm command:npm testYour goal is to get all of the tests to pass correctly. If a test fails, pay attention to the error messages that get produced, what was expected vs. what was actually returned, and make corrections to your code in assignment1.js.If you are going to run your tests over and over as you make changes to src/solutions.js, you can run the tests so they automatically watch for changes, and re-run whenever you save your file:npm run test-watchYou can stop the tests from running using CTRL+cNext, you can run a single test instead of all tests:npm test problem-00This will only run the tests in problem-00.test.js, making it easier to work on only one problem at a time.You can also watch a particular test, and re-run it when the code is saved:npm run test-watch problem-00In addition to running unit tests, you can also run a linter called eslint. Linting helps to find and remove common errors in code, for example, missing a semi-colon, or forgetting to declare a variable.To run eslint, use the npm command:npm run eslintIf there are no problems, there will be no output. If there is any output, pay attention to what it says, so you can make corrections. For example:assignment1/assignment1.js
18:9  error  ‘x’ is defined but never used  no-unused-varsHere, we see a lint error, which has various information:Your code should have no lint errors when you submit it.Source code needs to be properly structured, use consistent indenting, semi-colons, etc. Doing so makes it easier to understand, read, and debug your code.Your code must be properly and consistently formatted. You can do it by hand, or, you can use Prettier (https://prettier.io/) to do it automatically.There are two ways to use Prettier. First, using the npm command:npm run prettierThis will rewrite your files to use proper formatting. NOTE: running this command will overwrite your file, so make sure you have saved your work before you run it.The second way to run Prettier is using the Prettier extension, and format-on-save. If you install the recommended extensions and settings for this project, saving your file will result in Prettier automatically fixing your code for you. Debugging Code and Tests You can also use VSCode’s built in debugging tools to run and debug your code,
or the test code, within the editor, step through code, inspect variables,
examine call stacks, etc. See the instructions at: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-recipes/tree/master/debugging-jest-tests#debugging-all-testsThere are two ways to complete your assignment:Your assignment is complete when all tests are passing, and there are no more linting errors.  When you have completed your assignment, you need to prepare your submission. To do so, use the npm command:npm run prepare-submissionThis will do a number of things automatically for you:You can upload submission.zip to Blackboard for submission.You will still need to zip your final submission to submit into Blackboard but only 1 problem (any problem 1-8, not problem 0) needs to be solved completely and you need to create a video explaining your solution and how it works. The video should be max 3 minutes in length and uploaded as an “Unlisted” video to YouTube (i.e., only the people you share the URL with will be able to see it). Please note which problem you have chosen in the Blackboard submission box.NOTE: Please make sure to indicate which method A) or B) you have chosen in the submission box and include the appropriate links during Blackboard submission!You may be wondering about some of the other files in this project. While you don’t need to modify them, or use them directly, here is what each one does:node_modules/ – the installed dependencies necessary to run prettier, eslint, etc., installed when your run npm install..eslintrc.js – configuration for eslint, see https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring.prettierrc.js – configuration settings for prettier, see https://prettier.io/docs/en/configuration.htmlpackage.json – node.js package info, dependencies, build scripts, see https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.jsonpackage-lock.json – a generated file with dependency version information, see https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package-lock.json
