// 1: how could you rewrite the following to make it shorter?
if (foo) {
  bar.doSomething(el);
} else {
  bar.doSomethingElse(el);
}

bar[ foo ? 'doSomething' : 'doSomethingElse' ]( el );


// 2: what is the faulty logic in the following code?
var foo = 'hello';

(function() {
  foo = foo || 'world';
  console.log(foo);
})();


// var scoping foo in the anonymous function local scopes it, so "hello" will never be accessible.




// 3: given the following code, how would you override the value of the bar
// property for the variable foo without affecting the value of the bar
// property for the variable bim? 
	
	foo.bar = "hello";
	
// how would you affect the value of the bar
// property for both foo and bim? 
	
	Thinger.prototype.bar = "hello";
	
// how would you add a method to foo and bim to
// console.log the value of each object's bar property?

	Thinger.prototype.log = function(){
		console.log( this.bar );
	};

// how would you tell if
// the object's bar property had been overridden for the particular object?
	foo.hasOwnProperty('bar');

var Thinger = function() {
  return this;
};

Thinger.prototype = {
  bar : 'baz'
};

var foo = new Thinger(),
    bim = new Thinger();




// 4: given the following code, and assuming that each defined object has a
// 'destroy' method, how would you destroy all of the objects contained in the
// myObjects object?
var myObjects = {
  thinger : new myApp.Thinger(),
  gizmo : new myApp.Gizmo(),
  widget : new myApp.Widget()
};


for( obj in myObjects ){
   myObjects[obj].destroy();
}


// 5: given the following array, create an array that contains the contents of
// each array item repeated three times, with a space between each item. so,
// for example, if an array item is 'foo' then the new array should contain an
// array item 'foo foo foo'. (you can assume the library of your choice is
// available)
var myArray = [ 'foo', 'bar', 'baz' ];

var myNewArray = $.map(myArray, function(v){
   return [v,v,v].join(" ");
});


// 6: how could you improve the following code?
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.foo #bar').css('color', 'red');
  $('.foo #bar').css('border', '1px solid blue');
  $('.foo #bar').text('new text!');
  $('.foo #bar').click(function() {
    $(this).attr('title', 'new title');
    $(this).width('100px');
  });
  
  $('.foo #bar').click();
});


$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#bar').css({
    color: 'red',
    border: '1px solid blue'
  })
  .text('new text!')
  .bind('click', function(){ // bind instead of click to avoid another function call
    $(this).attr('title','new title').width(100);
  })
  .trigger('click');
});



// 7: what issues do you see with the following code? how would you fix it?
(function() {
  var foo;

  dojo.xhrGet({
    url : 'foo.php',
    load : function(resp) {
      foo = resp.foo;
    }
  });

  if (foo) {
    // run this important code
  }
})();


// misunderstanding of async requests.
(function() {
  dojo.xhrGet({
    url : 'foo.php',
    load : function(resp) {
      // run this important code
    }
  });
})();


// 8: how could you rewrite the following code to make it shorter?
(function(d, $){
  $('li.foo a').attr('title', 'i am foo');
  $('li.bar a').attr('title', 'i am bar');
  $('li.baz a').attr('title', 'i am baz');
  $('li.bop a').attr('title', 'i am bop');
})(dojo, dojo.query);


(function(d, $){
   d.forEach(['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'bop'], function(class){
      $('li.'+class+' a').attr('title', 'i am '+class);
   });
})(dojo, dojo.query);



// 9: how would you improve the following code?
for (i = 0; i <= 100; i++) {
  $('#thinger').append('<p><span class="thinger">i am thinger ' + i + '</span></p>');
  $('#gizmo').append('<p><span class="gizmo">i am gizmo ' + i + '</span></p>');
}


var thinger = [], gizmo = [];
for(var i=0; i< 100; i++){
  thinger.push('<p><span class="thinger">i am thinger ' + i + '</span></p>');
  gizmo.push('<p><span class="gizmo">i am gizmo ' + i + '</span></p>');
}

$('#thinger').append(thinger.join(''));
$('#gizmo').append(gizmo.append(''));



// 10: a user enters their desired tip into a text box; the baseTotal, tax,
// and fee values are provided by the application. what are some potential
// issues with the following function for calculating the total?
function calculateTotal(baseTotal, tip, tax, fee) {
  return baseTotal + tip + tax + fee;
}

// need to validate the input, parseInt numbers, check for negative values, etc.



// 11: given the following data structure, write code that returns an array 
// containing the name of each item, followed by a comma-separated list of
// the item's extras, if it has any. e.g. 
//
//    [ "Salad (Chicken, Steak, Shrimp)", ... ]
//
// (you can assume the library of your choice is available)
var menuItems = [
  {
    id : 1,
    name : 'Salad',
    extras : [
      'Chicken', 'Steak', 'Shrimp'
    ]
  },
  
  {
    id : 2,
    name : 'Potato',
    extras : [
      'Bacon', 'Sour Cream', 'Shrimp'
    ]
  },
  
  {
    id : 3,
    name : 'Sandwich',
    extras : [
      'Turkey', 'Bacon'
    ]
  },
  
  {
    id : 4,
    name : 'Bread'
  }
];


var newMenuItems = $.map(menuItems, function(obj){
	return [
		obj.name + (obj.extras
			? ' (' + obj.extras.join(', ') + ')'
			: '')
	];
});


// BONUS: write code such that the following alerts "Hello World"
say('Hello')('World');

function say( $1 ){
    return function($2){
        alert( $1 + ' ' + $2 );
    }
}


// BONUS: what is the faulty logic in the following code? how would you fix it?
var date = new Date(),
    day = date.getDate(),
    month = date.getMonth(),
    dates = [];
    
for (var i = 0; i <= 5; i++) {
  dates.push(month + '/' + (day + i));
}

console.log('The next five days are ', dates.join(', '));

// that won't account when now+5 puts you into the next month.  i think you need to create a new Date() for each to get the calculation right.
// also day+0 in the loop will return today's date, so init "i" as 1.
