Chapter 2
2.1. Looping a triangle
Write a loop that makes seven calls to console.log to output the following triangle:
#
##
###
####
#####
######
#######
It may be useful to know that you can find the length of a string by writing .length after it.
My solution:
var str = ""
while (str.length<7) {
str += "#"
console.log(str)
}
2.2. FizzBuzz
Write a program that uses console.log to print all the numbers from 1 to 100, with two exceptions. For numbers divisible by 3, print “Fizz” instead of the number, and for numbers divisible by 5 (and not 3), print “Buzz” instead.
When you have that working, modify your program to print “FizzBuzz”, for numbers that are divisible by both 3 and 5 (and still print “Fizz” or “Buzz” for numbers divisible by only one of those).
My solution:
for (i=1; i<101; i++) {
if (i%3 == 0 && i%5 != 0) console.log ("Fizz");
else if (i%5 == 0) console.log ("Buzz");
else if (i%3 == 0 && i%5 == 0) console.log("FizzBuzz");
else console.log(i);
}
3.3. Chess board
Write a program that creates a string that represents an 8?8 grid, using newline characters to separate lines. At each position of the grid there is either a space or a ?#? character. The characters should form a chess board.
Passing this string to console.log should show something like this:
# # # #
# # # #
# # # #
# # # #
# # # #
# # # #
# # # #
# # # #
When you have a program that generates this pattern, define a variable size = 8 and change the program so that it works for any size, outputting a grid of the given width and height.
My solution:
var size = 8;
for (i=0; i<size/2; i++) {
var line = "";
for (j=0; j<size/2; j++)
if (i%2 == 0)
line += " #";
else line += "# ";
console.log(line);
}
