Programming Fundamentals: Functions 2

Learning Objectives

• Explain that functions are self-contained pieces of code that can be reused across a codebase
• Explain that functions can have inputs and produce an output

Introduction

In this exercise, you're going to create some functions to help Phil keep track of his progress as he bakes a cake for your cohort.

Setup

• Fork this repository and clone your forked version to your machine
• Install dependencies by running the command below while in the project's root directory:

npm ci

Instructions

• Read through the numbered comments in src/core.js to understand the core requirements of this exercise.

• Write your code directly below the numbered comment.

• Add console.log's to get visibility on your solution and run the file with the command node src/core.js

Example

// 1. Create a variable named hello with the value 'Hello'
const hello = 'Hello'
console.log(hello)

Running tests

• To verify your solutions, run the test suite by running the npx jasmine command followed by the path to the test file spec/core.spec.js:

npx jasmine spec/core.spec.js

• Alternatively, run npm test

• To begin with, all of the tests will fail. You'll see red F's in your console, like the image below:

• Your solution is complete when the red F's have been replaced with green .'s in your console, like the image below:
