Javascript challenges forked from Edabit.

Now you can do the challenges locally, using whichever IDE you prefer.

Install Node / NPM

You will need to install NodeJS from https://nodejs.org and ensure that you can run the npm command by running

npm version

and verifying that you see the NPM version, and not an error.

Trying a challenge

To try a challenge:

• Change in to to the directory containing the challenge.

• Run npm install to install the necessary dependencies.

• Read README.md for a description of the problem.

• Read the tests in code.spec.js to get a better understanding of exactly what parameters the code you will write should take, and the values your code should return.

• Run the tests wth npm test. They should fail.

• Edit the function in code.js. When you think you have written the code correctly re-run the tests (npm test) to check. If they pass, great. If not, try and understand the failure, and edit your code to fix the problem. Then re-run the tests.

If you get stuck on a challenge, move on and try and different one for a bit. This gives your mind the chance to subconsciously think about the problem, and you can come back later and try and solve it again.
