// 1: how could you rewrite the following to make it shorter?
/*if (foo) {
bar.doSomething(el);
} else {
bar.doSomethingElse(el);
}*/
(foo) ? bar.doSomething(el) : bar.doSomethingElse(el);
// 2: what is the faulty logic in the following code?
var foo = 'hello';
(function() {
var foo = foo || 'world'; //local foo overrides global variable, will always equal 'world'
console.log(foo);
})();
//fixed
var foo = 'hello';
(function(gfoo) {
var foo = gfoo || 'world';
console.log(foo);
})(foo);
// 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? how would you affect the value of the bar
// property for both foo and bim? how would you add a method to foo and bim to
// console.log the value of each object's bar property? how would you tell if
// the object's bar property had been overridden for the particular object?
/*var Thinger = function() {
return this;

// 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?

// 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)

// 6: how could you improve the following code?
$(document).ready(function() {

for (i = 0; i <= 100; i++) {
$('#thinger').append('<p><span class="thinger">i am thinger ' + i + '</span></p>');

// 10: a user enters their desired tip into a text box; the baseTotal, tax,

// issues with the following function for calculating the total?

// 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)", ... ]
