Courses Plus Student 9,058 PointsExtra Credit (Are there points for submitting these)? Javascript Loop Structure - Fizz Buzz
Here's my looping test for the javascript fizzbuzz.
for (i=1; i <= 100; i++) {
if (i%15==0) {
console.log("fizzbuzz");
} else if (i%3==0) {
console.log("fizz");
} else if (i%5==0) {
console.log("buzz");
} else {
console.log(i);
}
}
Not sure if you can get any 'check marks' for these or they're just personal tests.
(You have to test 15 first to make it work properly. )

14,636 PointsNope, no points bro. They're just there to give you something to practice.
That's a great solution though using the if (i%15 === 0) though. I hadn't thought of that when I first did it. I only used the && operator. i.e. if (i % 5 === 0 && i % 3 === 0). Good stuff :).
For further practice you can check out other sites that offer well known coding challenges for practice.
One such site is coderbyte. It's pretty cool. It gives you a whole host of challenges and you can track your progress and gain points and all.
another is HackerRank which provides a ton of challenges as well as a community, badges, leaderboards and even possible job opportunities as they make the leaderboard and challenge stats available to employers out there looking for those hidden gems out in the coding world.
There are others but geeze that's enough right? If you just want a list of good coding challenges without all the fluff(but since you were asking about points I'm guessing you'll like the first 2) this here is a popular repository of classic challenges/projects that apply to most any language for programmers to hone their skills with as well as solutions that have been submitted by folks out there that have solved them so the solutions include solutions in a lot of languages (although some projects only have one or two language solutions that have been submitted)
Enjoy!!

Courses Plus Student 9,058 PointsAs for case/switch statements - if there's javascript stuff you want to learn that isn't covered here - i'd start with w3 schools brief listing of the various available commands and control structures for javascript.
They're pretty quick and have 'try it' function that allows you to experiment with the specific code.
In general a switch/case statement allows you to run 'multiple' if's on a variable without all that crazy (and hard to read) nesting. You shouldn't really nest if's too deeply (even with else and else if) unless you really have to. Switch/case statements are a good alternative when you are expecting multiple SPECIFIC outcomes (and in javascript when you don't have to do any comparison or anything, just test the variable for a specific value)
They also allow for a default value in case all conditions fail.
They're just useful for cleaner (and easier to write) code so you don't get lost in too much deep nesting.

14,636 Pointsoooh that sounds fantastic! I did my own side project for the madlibs exercise and I decided to make a different alert message for every possible right and wrong answer and it worked and I was very pleased but omg the nesting... it was so confusing trying to test and debug the thing.
Sounds like switch would've made it a whole lot easier lol...
Here's the code if you're interested in seeing what a mess of if/else soup I came up with. Be kind lol
edit: nevermind, can't get it to format correctly... edit2: was able to post it in its own comment. Dunno what I was doing wrong...
Thanks for the tip!

//FINAL CONDITIONAL CODE CHALLENGE
//BUILD A MULTIPLE CHOICE QUIZ APP
//SPECIFICATIONS
//1. MUST HAVE AT LEAST 5 QUESTIONS
//2. KEEP TRACK OF THE NUMBER OF QUESTIONS THE USER HAS ANSWERED CORRECTLY
//3. PROVIDE A FINAL MESSAGE AFTER THE QUIZ LETTING THE USER KNOW HOW MANY THEY ANSWERED CORRECTLY
//4. RANK THE PLAYER. IF THEY ANSWERED ALL 5 QUESTIONS CORRECTLY THEY GET A GOLD CROWN. 3-4 IS A SILVER CROWN. 1-2 IS THE BRONZE CROWN AND 0 IS NO CROWN.
//FIRST GENERATE 5 QUESTIONS ******
//ASSIGN THEM TO VARIABLES (I'M GUESSING THAT LATER ON WE WOULD USE AN ARRAY?)*****
//PROVIDE A PROMPT TO ASK THE USER IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE QUIZ****
//IF YES COMMENCE THE QUIZ. IF NO, GOODBYE.

Courses Plus Student 9,058 PointsThanks for the input. Saw other people posting their code so I wasn't sure.
I had been through the fizzbuzz thing before in other programming attempts, it's a standard test. Ideally you could do it with a switch (case) statment but javascripts functionality doesn't really allow it.
CodeWars is a good site as well. There was also something whose name I forget that presents a bunch of questions that you have to use code to get the answer...like what is the 1000th prime number (hint don't scroll through all numbers, your computer will take forever ;)

14,636 PointsNp at all. Oh for future reference, to make the code look like code, if you didn't know, you wrapp it in 3 backticks in the beginning and then close it with 3 backticks at the end.
And type the name of the language after the first 3 backticks.
ohhh ... so you're old hat then
. I'm all new to the actual programming and pretty far removed from school so I saw your solution and went "Brilliant! A savant I tells ya!" lol...
And ya lost me on the 2nd part there... dunno switch(case) so for right now it just sounds like a bad experience at the airport.
That does look promising. Looked really cool till I saw that you had to test your skills first to prove worthiness. Maybe in a couple of months I can go back and try... wouldn't want the application process to gain sentience and begin laughing at me lol
Cheers,
