Learning Objectives

Priorities: 🥚, 🐣, 🐥, 🐔 (click to learn more)

There is a lot to learn in this repository. If you can't master all the material at once, that's expected! Anything you don't master now will always be waiting for you to review when you need it. These 4 emoji's will help you prioritize your study time and to measure your progress: - 🥚: Understanding this material is required, it covers the base skills you'll need to move on. You do not need to finish all of them but should feel comfortable that you could with enough time. - 🐣: You have started all of these exercises and feel you could complete them all if you just had more time. It may not be easy for you but with effort you can make it through. - 🐥: You have studied the examples and started some exercises if you had time. You should have a big-picture understanding of these concepts/skills, but may not be confident completing the exercises. - 🐔: These concepts or skills are not necessary but are related to this module. If you are finished with 🥚, 🐣 and 🐥 you can use the 🐔 exercises to push yourself without getting distracted from the module's main objectives. ---

1. Remix

Practice studying and remixing other people's solutions to coding challenges. Create your own solutions by mixing and matching pieces from other people's code.

• 🐣 Reconstructing: You can reconstruct a variety of solutions to the same challenge when they are presented as parsons problems.
• 🐣 Analyzing: You can analyze a function written at your level. This includes:
  • [ ] Behavior: Write documentation, test cases and use cases to describe the function's behavior.
  • [ ] Strategy: Describe the function's strategy using plain english.
  • [ ] Implementation: List the language features in a function and explain how each one is used.
  • [ ] Small Changes: You can think of 2+ changes to the function's implementation that would not change it's strategy.
• 🐣 Remixing You can analyze several solutions to the same challenge then ...
  • [ ] Write: Your own solution by remixing the ones you studied.
  • [ ] Explain: How the other solutions inspired yours; what ideas did you take from them? what ideas did you not take?
  • [ ] Analyze: Complete a write-up your own solution as though someone else wrote it.

2. Write

• 🐣 Function Design:
  • [ ] Writing Tests: Given a working function, you can write passing test cases to describe it's behavior.
  • [ ] Writing Functions: You can design multiple solutions to the same code challenge, keeping notes about different experiments you tried along the way.
• [ ] 🐣 Generating Documentation: You can write a JSDoc comment for your solutions and run a script to generate markdown documentation.
• [ ] 🐣 Fuzz Testing: You write solutions that pass randomly generated test cases.
• 🐣 Test Driven Development: You can solve open-ended, ambiguous coding challenges at your level:
  • [ ] Reading Docs: You can understand what the function is supposed to do by reading it's JSDoc description.
  • [ ] Writing Tests: You can write test cases before there is a function to test.
  • [ ] Writing Functions: You can write one function that passes the test cases you have prepared (even if it's just 1 test case!).
  • [ ] Refactoring: You can improve your function's implementation without failing any test cases that were passing.
  • [ ] Iterative Development: You can repeat the TDD process until you are satisfied with your test cases and solution.
• [ ] 🐔 Code Golf: Write your solutions with the fewest characters possible! This won't help you write readable code, but it will make you think deeply about JS, your strategy and implementation.

3. Review

• 🐣 Continuous Integration: You can check your code's quality before pushing so your CI checks all pass.
  • [ ] Formatting
  • [ ] Linting
  • [ ] Testing
• [ ] 🐣 Code Review: You can use a checklist to give a thorough, positive and constructive review of your classmates' solutions.
• [ ] 🐔 Code Coverage: You can explain what code coverage is, why it's important, and can write unit tests with 100% code coverage.

Week 1

I Need Help With:

More practice . Writing function its the best way to understand it . I do very slowly , but i like, now I try different ways to writing unit test for diferent function.

What went well?

Syntax for testing. Edabit exercises.

What went less well?

At the beginning its looks difficult to understand what should you do . Your confused about best writing way for testing function .

Lessons Learned

Try to write as much as possible unit test function . Comments also important

Sunday Prep Work

Trying to write some test for other functions

My solution add-arrays

Week 2

I Need Help With:

• I always have a problem with syntax (brackets), when writing tests , that's why I always get errror when running tests.

What went well?

• Testing function in our repo , trying differents solution .
• Understanding function.

• I trying to finish health care worker - premium.

  What went less well?

• Checked function for Errors thanks @danielhalasz for your feedback in slack , now it's more clear , it's works .

Lessons Learned

• Before writing functions or testing try understanding what exactly do you need to do. This week I was trying to write simple and more hard function for testing .
• More practice.

Sunday Prep Work

• cloning the necessary repo for Sunday, take a look

[danielhalasz]

• I always have a problem with syntax (brackets), when writing tests , that's why I always get errror when running tests.

there are some VSCode extensions that could help with finding the syntax error.. colorizing the brackets, showing indentations, color coding the block scopes..

[danielhalasz]

check out for example: Blockman indent-rainbow

@danielhalasz thank you, I will check)
