Details

We will now use our knowledge of strings to build a "Mad Libs" style word game we're calling "Word Blanks". You will create an (optionally humorous) "Fill in the Blanks" style sentence.

Instructions

You will need to use string operators to build a new string, result, using the provided variables: myNoun, myAdjective, myVerb, and myAdverb.

You will also need to provide additional strings, which will not change, in between the provided words.

Remember to use Read-Search-Ask if you get stuck. Try to pair program. Write your own code.

Problem Explanation:

• Change the code below //Your Code here and up to //Change this line.
• Take note that you are editing the inside of the wordBlanks function.
• You will have basically create a sentence with the provided variables and strings you will make.

Hint: 1

• + can be used for concatenating with strings.

Hint: 2

• Just as you can chain strings by concatenating, you can asign them to an existing variable instead of a new one.

Hint: 3

• += will allow you use an existing variable, a string in this case. Remember to add your own non-letters in between each variable.

Spoiler Alert!

Solution ahead!

Code Solution:

function wordBlanks(myNoun, myAdjective, myVerb, myAdverb) {
    var result = "";
    // Your code below this line
    result+= "My "+myAdjective+" "+myNoun+" "+myVerb+" very "+myAdverb+".";

    // Your code above this line
  return result;
}

// Change the words here to test your function
wordBlanks("dog", "big", "ran", "quickly");

Example Run

• Test wordBlanks("dog", "big", "ran", "quickly"); runs.
• Variable result is declared with an empty string "".
• result will be changed with a new string composed of the concatenated strings "dog", "big", "ran", "quickly" through the variables myNoun, myAdjective, myVerb, myAdverb respectively; the order is changed and whitespace added.
• result is returned.

Code Explanation:

• Use result to concatenate the given variables separated by whitespace and added strings to forma full sentence.
