  • [ ] length with examples
  • [ ] 2 Array.prototype methods!
  • Coding Kata: ROT13
  • [ ] A quick game of Reversi, perhaps?
  • [ ] Nothing looks the same from every side.
  • [ ] "A" single edge makes you sharp.
  • [ ] Ironically, both commands exist!

Going continuing w/ HW assignment 04. I will need to drop any unanswered questions/ unfinished problems on the previous HW. I am still going to revisit 01,02, and 03.. This weekend I finally figured out the calculator and made it work! very happy to see a piece of code actually passing through the gate. very glad I came in this wknd and studied with some of the cohort members. In particular, Eric, who really helped me a lot. We went to the classroom and worked on the white board until I finally felt comfortable writing the function statements for the calculator. I wrote them over and over and over and over…I know that the muscle memory concept DOES apply to this…and most anything really, either figuratively, literally, or both.

Anyway, I went home and wrote the same function statement out long hand until it cramped. Then I took it into Repl.it and tested what I was doing. I still had a lot of mistakes, but I understand the algebraic logic of the FS much better now. haze is starting to clear a bit. The bulk of what I'm NOT getting is thinking in terms of function statements --checking the rovershprokt.js code ( I am still working on that: I just simply kept getting errors returned to me..but I did instantiate it correctly ..I think.. --I also now know that CHAI is basically a library and MOCHA is more of the active error reporter, while it is cross-referencing CHAI at least that's how I understand it.

I also refreshed my knowledge of some very useful mac shortcuts so that I can streamline my workflow and make my desktop more spartan and easy to navigate. I nee to get a better understanding of how to submit my work in a more decisive coherent manner. I feel like I'm getting HOW we are going about this, and I want to continue to move. I will have to work more to solidify some of the more core concepts of navigating GitHub and submitting work, not to mention I will need to continue to improve the ability to write out the statements without any referential help. I am more confident in that area.
