Node.js Beginner Assignment: Basic Input and Output

Assignment: Create a Simple Node.js Application

In this assignment, you will create a simple Node.js application that accepts input from the user and displays a response in the console. This project introduces the basics of Node.js, including working with JavaScript in a server environment and using process for input/output.

Part 1: Create the javscript file

1. Create a new file called main.js in this folder

2. Copy this code into main.js:

   • // Operations: Object Access, Invocation
     console.log("What's your name?");
     
     // Operations:
     process.stdin.on('data', function(data) {
     
         // Operations:
         const name = data.toString().trim();
         
         // Operations:
         console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
     
     });

Part 2: Use Node to run the javascript file

1. In your terminal, navigate to the project directory.

2. Run your application using Node.js:

   node main.js

3. Test your application by typing in a name when prompted and checking if the greeting message is displayed correctly.
