JavaScript Refresher

Introduction

After completing the JavaScript practice problems I found online, I decided to recreate Makers Academy's Ruby Refresher challenge using JavaScript and Jasmine to further consolidate my (re)learning of JavaScript's structure and syntax.

Languages/Platforms/Tools

• JavaScript
• Jasmine

Learning Outcomes

When first starting this project, my goal was to continue to get reacquainted with JavaScript's syntax and structure and to create a series of exercises that I could return to at a later date if I stopped using JavaScript for a substantial period of time. I also wanted to solve each problem using JavaScript best-practices - see answers branch for solutions.

To-do list

• Covert Ruby Refresher Rspec tests into Jasmine tests
• Add additional questions (e.g. numeral conversion)
• Solve each problem and transfer solutions to answers branch

Instructions

Clone the repository:

$ git clone git@github.com:andrewhercules/javascript-refresher.git

Change into the directory and run the Jasmine tests:

$ cd javascript-refresher
$ open SpecRunner.html

Notes

• Each spec test has been 'x'-ed into pending mode to make it easier when first opening the SpecRunner.html file. Simply remove the x before the each test's "it( ... )" statement
• symbolToString test removed due to limited support for JavaScript's Symbol() and Symbol.for() functions
