Write test for exercise 1

[cideM]

• Create function that allows passing symbol instead of hardcoding #
• test that function Bonus - pass in symbol from command line

• Start doing PRs rather than just commits. Makes it easier for me to comment
• Don't declare variables like i = 0, output = '';. Research where these variables end up, in which scope. Use const and let where appropriate. Understand the difference between both and how var fits in.

while (i < 7){
        output += String(pyramido);
        console.log(output);
        i ++;
    }

That function is not pure. console.log is a side effect. Instead, do it like so

const pyramid = fnThatCreatesPyramidoBueno(100)
console.log(pyramid)

Now you have function that takes an integer and returns a string, always.

Your tests don't say anything about why they might fail. If you're running this on node, look into https://nodejs.org/api/assert.html#assert_assert_deepequal_actual_expected_message and then something like https://github.com/avajs/ava

Also, use prettier to format code and eslint to lint it. YOu'll have to use these tools eventually, without them your code will look like crap.

Don't drop code like

var current = 0
while  (current < 100) {
    current ++;
    if ((current % 3 == 0) && (current % 5 == 0)){        
        console.log("FizzBuzz");}
    else if (current % 3 == 0){
        console.log("Fizz");}
    else if (current % 5 == 0){
    console.log("Buzz");}
    else {
    console.log(current);}

randomly into a file.

Here's the most important rule: everything should be a function. Repeat after me: ^^^

Write lots of small, pure functions. Test the functions. Document them. ???????. Profit.

Here's a fun exercise: Write

function chessmaker (gridsize){
    oddLine = "", evenLine = "", fullgrid = "", gridprint = gridsize
    while (gridsize > 0) {
        if (gridsize % 2 == 0) {
            evenLine += ' ';
            oddLine += '#';
            gridsize --;
        }
        else {
            evenLine += '#';
            oddLine += ' ';
            gridsize --;
        }
    }
    oddLine += '\n', evenLine += '\n'
    while (gridprint > 0) {
        if (print % 2 == 0) {
            fullgrid += evenLine;
            gridprint --;
        }
        else {
            fullgrid += oddLine;
            gridprint --;
        }

    }
    return fullgrid
}

without mutating any variables.
