Why Does JavaScript Do THIS? - Question #1

NovaJay2415 — Thu, 17 Oct 2019 16:25:32 +0000

Hello Wonderful Dev.To Community,

I am doing my best to understand WHY JavaScript does WHAT it does. Sometimes I run into things I just can't wrap my mind around. This is one of these times...

My question is: Why does the last item in the array show up correctly, but all the other values are skipped over and not displayed, UNLESS I use "+="?

I am a JavaScript noob as you can probably tell from my question... But I would love to know WHY JavaSript is doing this. If you could let me know why that would help me a bunch. Thanks in advance.

Review my JavaScript? #2

Hello to all the experts of JavaScript!

I've worked on a fairly easy piece of code here (to me it's quite extensive since I'm just starting out) that I would love some pointers on.

Here's the link to it: https://codepen.io/Nova/pen/RmEYoZ

Now I know, I give the answer to the missing number in the JavaScript code. That's actually one of my questions. So let me begin:

First, I want to be able to randomly generate a number that users have to guess, since just one look at my JavaScript code you know automatically what the correct guess is. I need to use something like Math.floor and Math.random... but I don't know how to apply it to my variable to make it work.

Second, is there an easier way I could have done this?

Third, did I "break" the while loop the right way?

Fourth, if there is something I could have done better please let me know.

Thank you guys for reviewing my code! I really appreciate it.

How can you KNOW You Are Coding JavaScript the "right" way?

Hello again. So, I'm just starting out with JavaScript, which is my first programming language (really the only thing I know very well is HTML & CSS and we all know that doesn't take any logic and is NOT a programming language), and so here's my concern...

If I start writing code and somehow code things that don't match up with standards... and I have no one to review to make sure it is "modern" and "the right way of coding JavaScript" how will I ever learn? So that leads me to another question that I have for you guys.

Is there some site or some place that I can send my code off for an "expert" reviewer? Somewhere that I can get feedback on what I could do better, what I did WRONG? I'm fairly new at this and if you have any information that would be helpful, please let me know. Thank you!

TL;DR

I honestly just want to make sure that I code the "right" way and to do that I need to know what I am doing "wrong."

I'm working on a progressive web app and I don't know anyone who is an expert at JavaScript, so it's not like I can have someone check it. That's why I'm reaching out on here since y'all seem to very knowledgeable.

Alright. That's it.

Review of my first JavaScript code?

Hello to all the devs out there! This is my first post. I saw that there are a lot of awesome devs up here so I was wondering.. could you look over my first JavaScript code? It's hardly anything, just something super basic I made with the things I learned. If there is any way that I could improve my code please let me know. And if there is an easier way to do what I did, I am open and willing to learn. Thank you!
