50 micro coding challenges for JavaScript learners

This is a list of 50 micro coding challenges intended for beginners that just learned the basis of JavaScript language. Solve them to improve or test your coding skills and language understanding.

Although the challenges are designed for codeguppy.com learners, the challenges are platform agnostic so any JavaScript beginner can have fun with them.

What coding environment to use?

We recommend using an online JavaScript coding environment that allows you to share your code with others if you decide so. codeguppy.com is one option, but any other online JavaScript playground will work just fine.

Coding challenges

  1. Print numbers from 1 to 10. Note: If you are using codeguppy.com, use can use the the println() function to print directly on the screen, otherwise use console.log() to output in the browser console.

  2. Print the odd numbers less than 100

  3. Print the multiplication table with 7

  4. Print all the multiplication tables with numbers from 1 to 10

  19. Rotate an array to the right 1 position

  20. Create a function to reverse an array and return the result as a new array

  21. Create a function that will merge two arrays and return the result as a new array

  22. Create a function that will receive two arrays of numbers as arguments and return an array composed of all the numbers that are either in the first array or second array but not in both

  23. Create a function that will receive two arrays and will return an array with elements that are in the first array but not in the second

  24. Create a function that will receive an array of numbers as argument and will return a new array with distinct elements

  39. Create a function that will return a Boolean value indicating if two circles defined by center coordinates and radius are intersecting

  40. Create a function that will receive a bi-dimensional array as argument and a number and will extract as a uni-dimensional array the column specified by the number

  41. Create a function that will convert a string containing a binary number into a number

  42. Create a function to calculate the sum of all the numbers in a jagged array (contains numbers or other arrays of numbers on an unlimited number of levels)

  43. Find the maximum number in a jagged array of numbers or array of numbers

  44. Deep copy a jagged array with numbers or other arrays in a new array
