Bones Setup Walkthrough

My own walkthrough of setting up Bones

Replace kaizerroll with your own username wherever you see it in the following examples!

Also, only one person on the team needs to create the Github repo (1-2). Everyone else can be added as a project member and clone it.

  1. Fork bones from https://github.com/FullstackAcademy/bones
  • click the fork button at the top-right
  • You should now have your own remote copy of this repo listed with your own Github repositories
  • Mine is at https://github.com/kaizerroll/bones

Recursion Review for C4Q

Recursion and Dynamic Programming

Recursion

Recursion is fundamentally the idea of defining a function in terms of itself. This sounds trippy and unnecessary, so let's look at a canonical example. The 'hello world' of a recursive functions is

Permutations in JavaScript
/**
* The main thing to see here is the 'optimal substructure' i.e.
* perms([1, 2, 3]) could benefit from first knowing the result of
* perms([1, 2]), which in turn could use perms([1]) as a starting point
* and our basest of cases would be perms([]) at which point we have a
* trivial problem (so was perms([1]) but I like to accoutn for empty).
*
* This points us to a helper function we are going to need, spread.
* spread will 'spread' a single value into all possible array positions
* at the previous level. So our logic is something like:

Sure, here's a programming assignment for teaching the basics of regular expressions in Javascript:

Programming Assignment: Regular Expressions in Javascript

In this assignment, you will be using regular expressions to validate and manipulate strings in Javascript.

Task 1: Validate Email Addresses

Create a function validateEmail(email) that takes an email address as input and returns true if the email address is valid and false otherwise. An email address is considered valid if it meets the following criteria:

Pass by value vs reference in JS
// primitives are 'passed by value' in JS
// meaning the value of the variable is copied over into a new local variable in the function
let n = 1;
function addOne(x) {
x += 1;
return x;
