Technical Challenge Reflections

Challenge 1

Millions of Numbers

  • What felt good about your process? I tried a new solution after my first one worked

  • What was difficult/where did you struggle? My new solution performed WORSE than the first one

  • What feedback did you receive?

React Router Prework

This gist contains a short assignment I'd like everyone to complete before our formal lesson. The prework involves reading some of the React Router documentation, and will allow us to keep the lesson more hands on.

Instructions

  1. Fork this gist
  2. On your own copy, go through the listed readings and answer associated questions

You will not be turning this in; it's for your own understanding/learning/benefit 😁

Mod 0 Plan

Environment

  1. Keep a separate desk exclusively for Turing work
  2. Only ever use my Turing laptop for Turing work
  3. Ensure that the work desk never gains an item of clutter
  • The only item that may be placed atop the school desk is an item that is being used for school

Here are some things you can do with Gists in GistBox.
// Use Gists to store code you would like to remember later on
console.log(window); // log the "window" object to the console

Exercise: Implement FizzBuzz (Super Edition) FizzBuzz is a classic programming exercise. The usual example asks the developer to write a program which prints out each number from 1 to 100. But for multiples of 3 print 'Fizz' instead of the number and for multiples of 5 print 'Buzz'. For numbers which are multiples of both 3 and 5 print 'FizzBuzz…
def super_fizzbuzz(array)
#It should return a "fizzbuzzed" Array, i.e., the array is identical to the input with the following substitutions:
array.each do |number|
#Multiples of 3 should be replaced with the string "Fizz"
#Multiples of 5 should be replaced with the string "Buzz"
#Multiples of 15 should be replaced with the string "FizzBuzz"
if number % 3 == 0

Exercise 21: Implement the factorial function
Write a factorial method which takes as its input a non-negative integer and calculates the factorial of that number.
The factorial of a number is the product of all integers from 1 up to that number. For example:
factorial(5) == 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 == 120
The factorial of 0 is defined to be 1.

Exercise 19: Finding the longest string in an array
# longest_string is a method that takes an array of strings as its input
# and returns the longest string
#
# +array+ is an array of strings
# longest_string(array) should return the longest string in +array+
#
# If +array+ is empty the method should return nil
def longest_string(array)
return nil if array.empty?
