Starting My Frontend Development Journey: Day 3 of #100DaysOfCode 💻🚀

Hey Dev Community! 👋

Continuing my #100DaysOfCode journey, today I deeply practiced all essential JavaScript Arithmetic Operators (+, -, *, /, %, **, ++, --) using real-world scenarios like shopping carts, grocery bills, game timers, and savings logic.

Here is a breakdown of what I built and learned today! 💡

---

💡 TL;DR:

• Basic Arithmetic (+, -, *, /): Handles core logic like totals, discounts, and averages.
• Modulo (%): Perfect for converting units (e.g., total seconds into hours/minutes/seconds).
• Exponentiation (`):** Powers & exponential growth calculation (2 ** 5 = 32`).
• Post vs Pre Operators (x++ vs ++x): Post uses old value first; Pre updates immediately.

🛒 1. Shopping Cart & Grocery Bill Logic

Practiced addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and .toFixed() for financial calculations.

// Grocery Bill Calculation
const milk = 2 * 200;
const bread = 3 * 150;
const sugar = 1 * 180;

let subtotal = milk + bread + sugar;
let discount = (10 / 100) * subtotal;
const deliveryFee = 50;

let finalBill = subtotal - discount + deliveryFee;
let avgCost = subtotal / 3;

console.log("Subtotal: Rs.", subtotal);
console.log("Final Bill: Rs.", finalBill);
console.log("Average Cost Per Item Type: Rs.", avgCost.toFixed(2));

⏱️ 2. Game Playtime Converter (Modulo % & Division /)

Converted total raw game seconds (7485s) into Hours, Minutes, and Seconds using remainder arithmetic.

const totalSeconds = 7485;

// Extract Hours
let remainingAfterHours = totalSeconds % 3600;
let hours = (totalSeconds - remainingAfterHours) / 3600;

// Extract Minutes & Seconds
let remainingSeconds = remainingAfterHours % 60;
let minutes = (remainingAfterHours - remainingSeconds) / 60;

console.log(`Time: ${hours}h ${minutes}m ${remainingSeconds}s`);
// Output: Time: 2h 4m 45s

📈 3. Savings Growth with Exponentiation (**)

Calculated compound money doubling over time using the exponentiation operator.

let initialAmount = 10;
let multiplier = 2;
let years = 5;

// Formula: Initial * (Multiplier ^ Years)
let totalSavings = initialAmount * (multiplier ** years);
console.log("Total Savings after 5 years:", totalSavings); // Output: 320

⚡ 4. Increment (++) & Decrement (--) Operators

🔹 Post-Op (itemCount++, itemCount--)

Uses the current value first, then updates in the background.

let itemCount = 1;
let displayedQuantityAdd = itemCount++; // Displays 1, updates DB to 2

🔹 Pre-Op (++completedOrders, --activeOrders)

Updates the value immediately, then returns the result.

let completedOrders = 9;
let totalOrdersForBonus = ++completedOrders; // Immediately becomes 10

📝 Arithmetic Operators Quick Reference

Operator	Name	Example	Output / Behavior
+	Addition	10 + 5	15
-	Subtraction	10 - 5	5
*	Multiplication	10 * 5	50
/	Division	10 / 5	2
%	Modulo (Remainder)	10 % 3	1
**	Exponentiation	2 ** 3	$2^3 = 8$
x++	Post-Increment	let a = x++	a gets old value
++x	Pre-Increment	let a = ++x	a gets new value
