📚 I looked up info on markdown after looking at the brilliant diary kept by a former SOC student.
-
🖥️ I went back through my HTML and CSS code on the website I made and started adapting things to be more responsive.
-
📝 I'll have to go look up the command line info to connect to a new Repo I made so I can upload this Readme file but also so I can update this hopefully day by day.
💪 I'm lucky to have all these resources available, but I just hope I can use them to my full potential. I'm so happy to have been accepted into the School of Code. I want to do this 100 days of code challenge. It still feels daunting even if it's supposed to be an hour a day. Home life is about to change too with my youngest starting nursery. I will find the balance.

📚 I looked into creating a guide for myself for connecting to a repo again and then wrote it down in a word doc. As I had set up links for my previous repo but it had been a while still good to refresh on git inputs.
-
🖥️ I've more website stuff to check through before pushing to a branch before merging. I thought it better to keep my hand in with some Javascript work with codecademy today I had a go making classes that you use to make a new instance from. Here's a brief example:
class Surgeon {
constructor(name, department) {
this.name = name;
this.department = department;
}
}
const surgeonRomero = new Surgeon('Francisco Romero', 'Cardiovascular');
console.log(surgeonRomero);
const surgeonJackson = new Surgeon('Ruth Jackson', 'Orthopedics');
console.log(surgeonJackson);
Output was:
Output:
Surgeon { name: 'Francisco Romero', department: 'Cardiovascular' }
Surgeon { name: 'Ruth Jackson', department: 'Orthopedics' }- 📝 I think I'll continue with more of this tomorrow I'd like to complete the intermediate JS stuff section as it's good to have a bit consistency before doing something else.
Today I felt a little daunted as I was trying to make sure I was consistent. Also had to make sure I'd done all that was required before starting SOC bootcamp. It's like a building anxiety and excitement. I really want to do well, I worry about things but then I continued reading all of the drop downs and when I found structure to the days that lay ahead I realised that everyone will be in the same boat. I can do this I just have to keep believing or maybe I need to listening to live to win 10 times and get pumped up. 🎶🔥

📚 I looked into more info on how to progress with coding most of the information was as I expected. CONSISTENCY IS KEY
-
🖥️ So today on code academy I continued with my tasks on Inheritence I managed tasks I, II, III they were all right but IV was a new hope. Seriously though it was strange to understand tomorrow task V strikes back. Here's a look at some of the code from todays task.
class HospitalEmployee {
constructor(name) {
this._name = name;
this._remainingVacationDays = 20;
}
get name() {
return this._name;
}
get remainingVacationDays() {
return this._remainingVacationDays;
}
takeVacationDays(daysOff) {
this._remainingVacationDays -= daysOff;
}
}
class Nurse extends HospitalEmployee {
constructor(name, certifications) {
super(name);
this._certifications = certifications;
}
}
const nurseOlynyk = new Nurse('Olynyk', ['Trauma','Pediatrics']);
nurseOlynyk.takeVacationDays(5);
console.log(nurseOlynyk.remainingVacationDays);
Output to the log
15- 📝 Tomorrow more code academy but I think I might have a look into some html and css work one thing I would love to have ago at is parallax scrolling animation. I have some pre made images from my batman website I never got round to trying.
Today was juggling act between home life and getting this done but I will keep moving forward. I feel like I need to try new things inbetween coding exercises just to give myself a break from things. 😄

📚 Today was the pre-lecture to SCHOOL OF CODE(SOC) we did a some work on notepad....it was fun but also painful. I was paired up with someone called Victoria hopefully they will recover from the shock of working with me. In truth it wasn't that bad it was nice to meet people and chat to someone new who isn't a 5 or 2 year old.
-
🖥️ So today I decided to continue with the practice of making something from scratch even if it is very very simple. It was to do with our brief conversation on stained glass windows.
- 📝 Tomorrow i'm a little torn i would like to complete code academy tasks before moving on to the next thing but Victoria got me thinking they revealed that they were making their own calculator. I'm not sure I would make that but it would be nice to do something like that. Magic 8 ball? Sources point to ..maybe.
Today was rough not for coding but from home life perspective. School strikes and a sick child were not a great 🤒 especially when it involves changing clothes of everyone involved twice and attempting to get a doctors appointment while you have a coughing fit a poor person on the end of the phone. Still if we ignore that ..... WHAT A GREAT ...EVENING it was. :D Really enjoyed the lecture from Liz

📚 Today I wasn't sure where to start till someone else got stuck on something.
-
🖥️ I decided to actually have a look into how to make a calculator in Javascript because the person I was paired with was struggling with something. I'm unsure if i can help but i'll try so I managed the basics following a tutorial but i'll need to do more work on it. Heres the html it's not the most pretty looking thing but it's a start. I might have to look up more info for these things.

</html>- 📝 Tomorrow i'm going to continue working on this thing and maybe see if there are more in depth tutorials on how to do this. I'm still not sure what I'm doing though.
Family life can affect a lot of things and i'm trying to work out the new way to get the balance right. Taking breaks is important at work as well as out of work. I think I have to find a way to thank my partner for allowing me to do this course. She is precious to me. So today working on things again were difficult but for different reasons. Lets see what tomorrow brings.

📚 Today I went back through the very basic looking calculator and decided that I need to look for a better tutorial so after contacting my pal about what tutorial they used I was sent a link I started over.
-
🖥️ I got much further with this tutorial in a shorter amount of time but just like most video tutorials you follow along as quickly as you can but it doesn't always go to plan. I got a better result on the build but when it came to displaying the inputs i was getting nothing. I will have to start from the beginning and check through the files to make sure nothing is missing.
- 📝 Tomorrow i'm going to continue working on this in the hopes I figure out what I missed to get it up and running correctly.
Today was fun 😄 I feel like I got a fair bit done but there's still more to do and complete. I can do this maybe I just need some sleep in order to get there.

📚 I was having trouble getting things to show up on the calculator but i worked out what i'd missed and got it working.sadly in the end certain fuctions wouldn't work. So I started again with a new tutorial
-
🖥️ I managed to get the bare bones done on the new calculator design. There is still plenty to do though. Its nothing more than a picture with a hover feature on the buttons.
- 📝 Tomorrow i'll be making this thing functional. It's not been easy getting anthing working lately.
Not a bad one today just a busy weekend day with the family so a little tricky finding time on my own. This tutorial seems bit clearer than the previous one when with explainations as to why things are done in certain ways.

📚 This new tutorial is better but it is not without some confusing information as the tutor seems to have a completed version of his calculator which occasionally he uses to show what should happen. This felt counter productive as I kept thinking i'd failed when it wasn't happening only to find out later that I hadn't actually called anything yet for it to function. Still this is progress.
-
🖥️ I got a calculator working and then following the instructions of the tutor promptly broke it again haha 😂 i'm sure I can get it working better though. An image before the destruction
- 📝 Tomorrow i'll keep going see if I can beat this before the 10 day mark and hopefully i'll get some Code wars in.
Not bad just tired from the day. I got further than i expected. I've an early start tomorrow so I'll have to leave this here again for another day.

📚 I changed it up tonight I will probably finish the calculator tomorrow he writes with confidence.... Tonight I tried my hand at code wars and succeed but I did have to search various methods for producing what i wanted. I learned about split which can take information and break it into individual parts placing it all in an array.
-
🖥️ So the challenge was to take Troll messages and remove the vowels from them in order to make there messages unreadable.
function disemvowel(str) {
// defining the vowels
const vowels = 'aeiouAEIOU';
// trollString takes a string(str) then uses split
const trollString = str.split('').filter(char => !vowels.includes(char)).join('');
// returning the new string without vowels
return trollString;
}
console.log(disemvowel("This website is for losers LOL!"));
console.log(disemvowel("No offense but,\nYour writing is among the worst I've ever read"));
console.log(disemvowel("What are you, a communist?"));Logs

📚 Today I did way more than I expected. I had at creating drums kit on keyboard. I did something on freecodecamp "Iterate Through the Keys of an Object with a for...in Statement" which was to run a loop through an object for looking for true of false values. I finished the calculator which I was surprised about too. I even added an extra function which were keyboard inputs.
-
🖥️ It's been a good day! I FINISHED THE CALCULATOR...and i added extra keyboard inputs i know i said that already but i didn't expect to get it done today. I also managed to do a loop through an object. My examples:
const users = {
Alan: {
online: false
},
Jeff: {
online: true
},
Sarah: {
online: false
}
}
function countOnline(usersObj) {
// Only change code below this line
let onlineUsers = 0;
for(let user in usersObj){
if(usersObj[user]["online"] === true){
onlineUsers += 1;
}
}
return onlineUsers;
// Only change code above this line
}Logs
// running tests
// tests completed
// console output

- 📝 Tomorrow I'll try to continue with free code camp for some more javascript and possibly some more advanced HTML and CSS.
Great day today😊 felt very productive got a fair few things done. I want to keep going see what I can push myself to do. 🐱🐉 Probably keep it small before trying anything too time consuming and having to bother people for answers 😀

📚 Today I watched some shorts by a Youtuber called Hyperplexed they.... are on another level. Decided to go back through javascript fundamentals as there were things that thought i should have been able to do in my Codewars challenge but I couldn't remember how to do it.
-
🖥️ So I went through some of his tutorials with Hyperplexed I made a hacker effect which was interesting my one working example:
I'm also trying a few other Hyperplexed tutorials out though why not.
- 📝 Tomorrow when I get a chance I think I will finish any current things i'm working on and then start focusing back on Javascript fundamentals.
Not a bad day, nice to try things out and see if you can replicate and adapt them for other purposes. Had the Bootcamp Social today. I became the team captain, we called out selves the Partners In Crime. We took part in a quiz sadly we didn't place but what can you do. I feel like I need to focus more on the JS side of things. When i've tried to build things on my own i do get stuck quite quickly and find myself looking for answers elsewhere.

📚 Today I was more of a research day, looking into various collections for creating and learning code.
-
🖥️ Codewars is the thing I got stuck multiple times today but got two done with a lot of looking things up. Here's one Challenge
Convert number to reversed array of digits
function digitize(n) {
// turns numbers into a string then splits them into an array of numbers
const digits = String(n).split('');
// takes the array of strings, reverses it then map converts them back into array of numbers
return digits.reverse().map(Number);
}
console.log(digitize(35231)); // Output: [1, 3, 2, 5, 3]
console.log(digitize(0)); // Output: [0]
console.log(digitize(12345)); // Output: [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]- 📝 Tomorrow maybe it will be more fruitful
Certain things today were out of my hands we lost two beloved rabbits to a fox in the night. So there was plenty of distractions on the mind and self blame. Tomorrow I'm sure will bare more fruit.

-
🖥️ Somethings went wrong but I started again and either way I have the start of a canvas with some shapes on it but it's just the start.
- 📝 Tomorrow I will try and get much further hopefully have something to show on here.

📚 It's been a long day, I've started SCHOOL OF CODE! so today was a lot of new experiences. We did some CSS diner work something new that I need to learn.
-
🖥️ we worked in teams to make instruct each other to get the answers. We didn't finish all 32 but i did on my own.
- 📝 It a new start with SOC so if there is something i need to work on it may affect my choice in work
Today was fantastic, I got meet a lot of new people. It does mean i will have to put in a fair bit of effort now in order to make life easier later.

📚 Today was one step forward and two steps back, used flow charts today to define the working of a graduation then we had to do the same for a login screen on scratch which seemed simple in flow but not simple in scratch. It got very confusing when I couldn't figure out a way to loop back on incorrect username and passwords. Almost had it working. I managed to get git sorted at least so I pulled from the repo and sent through a change.
-
🖥️ We worked in pairs today which was nice although there were a few hiccups at the start. So I paired up with someone else for most of the morning but in the afternoon I was back with my intended partner.
- 📝 I did this as it was something we didn't get to finish as much as we wanted to. Sometimes there's not enough hours in the day.
I guess the only way was down from yesterday ha, well let's just say it didn't quite go the way I hoped today. I need to get out my own way sometimes. Just go for the easiest way to complete a task rather than worry about is it fair to google to answer a puzzle. It's fine if it's for SOC it's not if it's down the local pub quiz. I think some day's will be like this others might be easier all we can do is our best.

📚 Today was learning basics but it was still not easy and I think I need to simplify my thinking
-
🖥️ worked with some of the teammates we did bits back and forth making sure code worked on each other screens. It was a lot of screen sharing but I think it's important. This was one of the tasks we had to do which was adding a password checker prompt.
function authenticateUser() {
let pwd = "myPassword1!";
let attempts = 0;
let maxAttempts = 3;
while (attempts < maxAttempts) {
let getPwd = prompt("Please enter password.");
if (getPwd === pwd) {
console.log("My favourite colour is #000080!");
alert("It was Rolo Tomazee");
return true; // return true if password is correct
} else {
attempts++;
alert(`Incorrect password. ${maxAttempts - attempts} attempts left`);
}
}
return false; // return false if too many attempts
}
let isLoggedIn = authenticateUser();
if (isLoggedIn) {
// reveal secret information here
} else {
alert("ACCESS DENIED");
}- 📝 We caught up with things today although some of the work we put in didn't quite go the way we expected.
I won't say today was easy but somethings made sense but I'm still not sure I understand what I'm doing. I just hope I'm on the right track. I'm glad I had someone watching me put things together they help keep you from making mistakes when you are too close to the code.

📚 Today we went deep into variables and learned the differences between them or at I think we did, Var = function scoped, const is usually for unchangeable code and its block scoped and let allows you to change things and is also block scoped. We also did a session on Arrays[] the many things you can put in them. We also looked into how to iterate through them and also Arrays["within arrays"]; or even [ {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}] objects in arrays.
-
🖥️ we did a lot of work between us the only thing we are struggling with seems to be pushing and pulling from github. We thought it best to just work through the tasks together and then think about pushing them back at a later time.
let words = ["ben", "ha", "spla", "fa", "ca", "dra"];
for (let i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
words[i] += "t";
}
console.log(words);
output
['bent', 'hat', 'splat', 'fat', 'cat', 'drat']- 📝 We caught up with things today although some of the work we put in didn't quite go the way we expected.
I felt as a team we connected with the material and the teaching so much more than in the previous lesson. It feels like we have mini breakthroughs followed by stumpers again. I enjoyed today it was great and not feeling like we have to catch up with everything was even better. I think we still have to work on pushing and pulling in Github.

📚 Today was our first Hackathon my partner was great at keeping my thoughts in check today. We managed to get a lot done and we managed to do a little bit of git work. In the hackathon we had to make a Rock Paper Scissors game.
-
🖥️ It was a fun day glad I got do something a little different I remembered things I'd done before in past tutorial videos and with my work partner giving great suggestions and noticing things that i misspelt (sissors) or noticing that something wasn't working in testing. Then things just started working and just as we started to get going it was time to check out other groups work and let them offer a take on your work. We all helped figure out a looping issue. Then it was time to get ready for the weekend.
function getWinner(playerMove, computerMove) {
if(playerMove === computerMove){
return 0;
// console.log("It's a draw");
}else if((playerMove === "rock" && computerMove === "scissors")||
(playerMove === "scissors" && computerMove === "paper")||
(playerMove === "paper" && computerMove === "rock")){
return 1;
// console.log("You win!");
}
else{
return -1;
// console.log("Computer wins!");
}
}
function getRandomMove(){
const choices = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]
let randomChoice = (Math.random() * choices.length);
return choices[randomChoice]; // returns array after it's been put through the randomChoice.
}
// takes players input
let playerMove = prompt("Enter choice rock, paper or scissors");
let computerMove = getRandomMove();
// player input vs computer
let result = getWinner(playerMove, computerMove);
if(result === 1){
alert("You Win!");
}else if(result === 0){
alert("It's a Draw!");
}else{
alert("You Lose!");
}- 📝 I think I'll continue trying to do all the tasks for this hackathon it should be good practice.
I think this week has been intense but also amazing it's really great because I didn't expect to actually understand anything yet. Still plenty to learn.

📚 Following off the back of a hackathon one of my cohorts suggested they would try and make a playable version of rock paper scissors in Html well i wanted to try that too granted I hadn't completed all my tasks from the hackathon but still.
-
🖥️ I took my latest version of functions but I had to get rid of a lot of things to replace them with for use with html but as i wasn't sure how to do it found a handy Youtube video by Ania Kubow.
- 📝 Hopefully tomorrow I can get some more cementing in of various coding practices and more programming knowledge. I need to push myself more.
I think i'm happy with the small test I did and it was odd following a tutorial but replacing all the parts to suit my previously existing coding. Somethings didn't quite work at first but I got something working and I'm happy I added Math.floor(Math.random () * choices.length); So I could add the lizard and spock.

📚 So today I started the day will a catch up with other cohorts looking to keep going through the basics it was good. I think I'd forgotten quite a few things. Nice meeting people again though some new some i just hadn't spoken to yet.
-
🖥️ I went back through some of my unfinished tasks from week one. I'll probably have to go back through some more and maybe as things will become easier.
const friend = [ "Chris", "Lizzie", "Ben", "Tao", "Liz", "Patrick", "Tim", "James", "Joseph", "Max",];
function randomFriend() {
const friendArr = Math.floor(Math.random() * friend.length);
return friend[friendArr];
}
const myFriend = randomFriend();
console.log(myFriend);
output will be a random name in the friend array. tried it twice and got Ben and ChrisI also did 3 code wars for practice today
here one of them is
function min(num){
return Math.min.apply(null, num);
}
function max(num) {
return Math.max.apply(null, num);
}
const arr1 = [4,6,2,1,9,63,-134,566];
const arr2 = [-52, 56, 30, 29, -54, 0, -110];
const arr3 = [42, 54, 65, 87, 0];
const arr4 = [5];
console.log(max(arr1));
console.log(min(arr2));
console.log(max(arr3));
console.log(min(arr4));
console.log(max(arr4));output Log
566 (max)
-110 (min)
87 (max)
5 (min)
5 (max)- 📝 Tomorrow will be the beginning of a new set of challenges and probably a new partner to get used to. I hope I don't fall behind but I look forward to seeing what comes next.
I will have to finish a lot more of my tasks and upload them to github while i'm at it. It's much harder to do work on weekends though.

📚 The start of week 2. Was a little rough hopefully things will improve through the week nothing goes off without a hitch. Might have to sort out all of my Git stuff this week if I can. DOM manipulation was the key this week. New partners seem to have a better grip on things than I do currently but it's early days.
-
🖥️ I did a some code wars today, we also tried to do some focus on manipulation of the DOM
function reverseWords(str) {
return str.split("").reverse().join("").split(" ").reverse().join(" ")
}
console.log(reverseWords("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."));
Output ehT kciuq nworb xof spmuj revo eht yzal .god
- 📝 Tomorrow I hope will be an improvement on today. I have a feeling every week will be a bit like this where I feel a bit out of my depth. I hope to pull my weight tomorrow when working in a team of three. I feel a bit like the weak link currently.
Hopefully tomorrow people will be a bit more talkative. New pair of people are rather quiet which makes it hard to communicate. I may have to get used to the way they do things.

📚 Much better day today got to meet people who work in the industry. Teamwork was much better today got to help a teammate make a pokemon version of rock paper scissors. We had some fun making things today learning to create helpful comments that explain what the code does
-
🖥️ More DOM manipulation today, working with eventListeners. we did a codewars in the morning.
/////////////////////////////// Task 1
// variable button connected to the button id #click-me
const button = document.querySelector("#click-me");
// This function logs a few messages and changes the label on the button
function handleClick(event) {
// If clicked, console log you clicked me!
console.log("You clicked me!");
// If shift key pressed, change the inner text of the button to be NAILED IT.
if(event.shiftKey === true){
const clickMe = document.querySelector("#click-me");
clickMe.textContent = "NAILED IT!!";
}
console.log(handleClick);
}
/////////////////////////////// Task 2
// flowerButton variable assigned to the class of task-2
let flowerButton = document.querySelector (".task-2");
//

/////////////////////////////// Task 4
//variable of image
const img = document.querySelector("img");
// function that changes the h1 colour to hotpink
function hotpink(){
const h1= document.querySelector("h1");
h1.style.color = "hotpink";
}
//function that changes back to the original colour
function initial() {
const h1= document.querySelector("h1");
h1.style.color = "initial";
}
//img with a listeners for mouseenter and mouseleave so when you put your mouse on the img
img.addEventListener("mouseenter", hotpink);
img.addEventListener("mouseleave", initial);- 📝 Tomorrow I'm sure will be a new day but I hope the group will be chatty again and that we can keep the work tasks up too.
So much better today, everyone was a bit more chatty which meant we started to get stuff done as a team which was very helpful. Have to try and keep this all going for the rest of the week. I'm going back through the previous weeks work to make sure everything is done.

📚 This was a tough day for understanding, I had to take a break to unwind with all these DOM task. It feels like my head was about to fall off. It was interesting but difficult.
-
🖥️ More DOM manipulation today we tried to make a clock before lunch then after it was a focus on we did a codewars in the morning. The codewars was pretty hard but I got there in the end.
// write an async function called getQuote
// use a fetch request to get a random quote from the following API: https://meowfacts.herokuapp.com/

- 📝 Tomorrow will hopefully be a good day some of todays work was mind crumbling in difficulty for me at least.
The team still works individually from time to time, which i'm not that keen on but still everyone is communication when they think they have worked things out.

📚 Today was a nice break from the normal routine of coding I learned some new things and I was introduced to the world of UX design thanks to the magician known as Paavan. He even showed us a coin trick with technique called the french drop. Then showed us the magic of UX design. Tonight though I decided to go back through some of my old code in order to make sure I was understanding adding comments to them so that it was clear what I had been attempting to do, I also sorted out a bunch pushes to GitHub.
-
🖥️ Tonight I decided to look back through passed tasks and get as much of it commented to make more sense of what I did and what I created.
/////////////////////////////// Task 2
// make a variable for the called flowerButton
// make a function that changes the title of the of the document and changes it to flower emoji's.
const flowerButton = document.querySelector(".task-2");
function titleChange() {
document.title = "🌸🌺🌼🌻🌹🌷🌱🌿🌾🌵🌴🌲🌳🌰🌱🌿🌾🌵🌴🌲🌳🌰";
}
flowerButton.addEventListener("click", titleChange);
/////////////////////////////// Task 5
// add an event listener to checkbox input
// the checkbox will toggle the class of .funky on and off on the h1 element
const checkbox = document.querySelector("#check-box");
checkbox.addEventListener("change", (e) => {
h1.classList.toggle("funky");
});
- 📝 Tomorrow is friday so I expect it will be another Hackathon who knows where we will end up this time. But if I had to guess maybe something to do with this weeks tasks but focused into a new build maybe a todo list or something.
The team work went up a notch today as the groups were expanded for other tasks and I have to say things went a whole lot differently and in some ways it was much better than previous days. We all worked better together to create a short video it was good fun. We even worked on some of the codewars stuff but I still didn't quite get it maybe I need to get back into maths again.

📚 HACKATHOOOOOOON, so today we had to make something using an API it was good fun but also pretty hard some did better than others but it was definitely a learning experience all around. So we chose a trivia API and we had to make a trivia game. I was the driver for most of the build as one of our team was having issues getting anything to work. I was also the navigator briefly before lunch and driver again after.
-
🖥️ So I'll show you the code and an image of the game working. sort of i mean we didn't get the score or answer section to work but we did get the questions to work. Also the answer button worked so you could find out if you were right but the issue was you couldn't select an answer from the options.
// send a fetch to all the API'S servers
// check the APi works in the console.log in the browser
/////////////////////////////////// step 2
// Trivia question from the API array.
// button click to reveal the answer

const response = await fetch("https://opentdb.com/api.php?amount=1");
const data = await response.json();
// variable that takes the JSON response and returns it as a string to the h2 id of #insert-question
let insertQuestion = document.querySelector("#insert-question")
let currentQuestion = data.results[0];
insertQuestion.innerHTML = currentQuestion.question;
//create a ul element in html
//assign a variable to ul element
let multipleChoice = document.querySelector("#multiple-choice")
// if type = multiple - create li element for
//everything in incorrect answers array + correct answer array
multipleChoice.innerHTML = ""
if (currentQuestion.type === 'multiple'){
for (i = 0; i < currentQuestion.incorrect_answers.length; i++){
let newLi = document.createElement('li');
newLi.innerHTML = currentQuestion.incorrect_answers[i];
multipleChoice.appendChild(newLi);
};
let correctLi = document.createElement('li');
correctLi.innerHTML = currentQuestion.correct_answer;
multipleChoice.appendChild(correctLi);
}else if (currentQuestion.type === 'boolean'){
multipleChoice.innerHTML = 'True or False?';
}
// create variable for answer button
let answerButton = document.querySelector('#answer-button');
// add eventlistener to the answer button
answerButton.addEventListener('click', getAnswer)
// create function that takes in the click event

//create function that takes in click event and runs trivia function
//appendchild all li elements created to ul
- 📝 The weekend begins tomorrow I'd like to do some more coding but I may have children to look after so we'll see how that goes. If I can spare some time I might try get some Codewars done. There are some other tasks to complete also which I will try to get round to.
The teamwork today was good I'm glad the I had some good navigators nearby to help me out when I got stuck. As things progressed it became easier to sort things out as they were happening. I'm glad I was able to help out and get the game working. I'm looking forward to the next hackathon I wonder who I'll be paired with next week and what we'll be making. I hope I'll be up to the task.

📚 Weekend means i'm doing less than my usual bootcamp days but I decided to catch up on the recap stuff that we have been left to do.
-
🖥️ I did Task 1 and started Task 2 today. I'm not sure how long it will take me to complete the tasks but I'm going to try and get them done before the next bootcamp day.
/////////////////////////// Task 1
// write a function called makeLegend(name) should accept a string
// This function should return a string which includes the name
// and concatenate the string (name) + " is now a legend"
const celebs = [
"David Beckham",
"Cher",
"Madonna",
"Tom Petty",
"Cristiano Ronaldo",
"Whoopi Goldberg",
"Samuel L Jackson",
"Angelina Jolie",
"Richard Osman",
"Emma Thompson",
];
function makeLegend(name) {
return name + " is now a legend";
}
console.log(makeLegend("Tom Petty"));
// using the makeLegend function create a for loop that iterates over the celebs array
// This should change all the names in the array to a legend
// for example: "David Beckham" should become "David Beckham is now a legend"
for (let i = 0; i < celebs.length; i++) {
celebs[i] = makeLegend(celebs[i]);
}
console.log(celebs);
// use another for loop to produce a new array of all the celeb names which start with a vowel.
// Store this in a variable called "vowelCelebs"
// Check the first letter in the array for A, E, I, O, U
// if the first letter is a vowel then push it to the empty vowelCelebs array
let vowelCelebs = []; // empty array waiting for pushed items
for (let i = 0; i < celebs.length; i++) {
// if statement checks the first letter of each item in the array
// if they match then they are pushed to the vowelCelebs array
if (celebs[i][0] === "A" || celebs[i][0] === "E" ||celebs[i][0] === "I" || celebs[i][0] === "O" || celebs[i][0] === "U")
vowelCelebs.push(celebs[i])
}
console.log(vowelCelebs);
- 📝 If I can manage to get myself organised i might get some join the coffee and code session tomorrow. I'm not sure how much time I'll have to do anything else but I'll try my best. I have to get my son to see his grandparents tomorrow so I'll have to make sure I have enough time to do that.
It feels like a steep drop in learning because it's the weekend and I'm not doing the usual bootcamp stuff. I'm glad I'm able to do the recap stuff though. I'm looking forward to the next bootcamp day. I wonder what we'll be doing. I hope I'll be able to keep up with the pace.

}); // add input field to array importantThing
} - 📝 I will be continuing with the tasks tomorrow i hope that i'm going down the right path with my learning. I need to take out any weaknesses that I have and make sure that I'm not missing anything. Then hopefully the more I do the more I'll be able to do. Then I might be able to help others out.
The learning is going well I'm glad I'm able to do the recap stuff. I'm looking forward to the next bootcamp day. I wonder what we'll be doing. I hope I'll be able to keep up with the pace.

📚 Today we learned about a few different things like Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), things they do like finding and fixing performance bottlenecks, testing and devOps. The other subject we starter covering was UX and UI design. We learned about the difference between the two and how they work together.
-
🖥️ So tonight i went through a flex-box game and a grid-game to try learn a few new ways to display items on a page.
- 📝 I think tomorrow will be a very different day. I hope it will go well and that we gain a new understanding and appreciation for creating something from scratch.
Today was a shorter day than normal as we started later thanks to the recap material. It felt like a blur of a day still I enjoyed myself a lot.

📚 Today we continued UX design and started looking design thinking. The five areas of design thinking are Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test. Empathise is about understanding the user and their needs. Define is about defining the problem and the solution. Ideate is about coming up with ideas and solutions. Prototype is about creating a prototype of the solution. Test is about testing the prototype and the solution. Each of these steps are important and need to be done in order to create a good solution, but they can be redone as needed to improve the solution. It is the agile way of designing.
-
🖥️ We made a flow chart of the steps we need to take to create a solution for our fake bootcamp. Bootcamp of gaming.
- 📝 This evening I went back over my old work on the first Hackathon and I'm going to try and finish it over the week. It's a simple game but I want to finish it.
Today was less intensive than the last weeks tasks. It was a nice change of pace. I'm looking forward to the next few days.

📚 Today we started looking into UI also has 5 points to it. The first is Visual Hierarchy. This is about making sure that the most important things are the most visible. The second is Consistency. This is about making sure that the design is consistent throughout the whole design. The third is Alignment. This is about making sure that the elements are aligned correctly. The fourth is White Space. This is about making sure that there is enough white space to make the design look good. The fifth is Typography. This is about making sure that the typography is correct and easy to read.

🖥️ We got to use figma for a bit today then we were asked to make a clone of a website. I chose the star wars website.
- 📝 This evening I went back to the clone site and I'm going to try and finish it over the week. It's hard when you don't know how it was made but it is a good learning experience.
It was another good day. I'm looking forward to the next few days. Wonder what the hackathon will be?

📚 Today was the hackathon day. We had to continue what we started on tuesday. So the school of gaming was to be turned into a figma design, for mobile and desktop. We had to go through all the 5 design steps in ux and ui design. So we could give an idea of user flow and user experience.
-
🖥️ We got to use figma for creating a mockup of the school of gaming. It was good team work and we got a fair bit done.

I found the hackathon today to be a bit of a challenge. I'm not sure if it was because the task was a little wordy and I had to reread a few things. Still it was good to work with a team and get a feel for how it is to work on something like this in a team.

📚 I went over some code wars. I'm going to be looking over the recap tasks for this weekend in the hopes to get them finished before the next week starts.
-
🖥️ The code wars had me doing a lot of reverse string and reverse words. I was close to get the right answer on my own but I did something silly by thinking I needed to make a variable when all I needed to do was return a str that was already provided I got the right answer. Then did a different version as second run through.
First version
function solution(str){
// returns the string split into an array, reversed and then joined back into a string
return str.split('').reverse().join('');
}
solution('world'); // returns 'dlrow'
output: dlrowSecond version
function solution(str) {
//variable to hold the reversed string
let reversedString = '';
//loop through the string backwards
for (let i = str.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
reversedString += str[i];
}
return reversedString;
}
reverseString('world'); // returns 'dlrow'
- 📝 Busy family day today so I didn't get much done. I'm going to try and get some more done tomorrow.
I would like to nail down all the recap before the next week starts. I'm going to try and get some more done tomorrow. I might have a look tonight but it getting late.

The recap didn't get finished before the class started but the lofi model did and I think maybe I should look into the hi models soon. The Talk today was so fantastic it made me feel like I stand a chance of making it out there. Nadeem and Elly were very compelling so much so that I almost didn't care that lunch break had supposed to have begun.

📚 More node stuff today, it's definitely not easy for me struggled a bit until i realized that i'd not moved into the right folder and suddenly things started working out better.
-
🖥️ No time for recap when there's so much js stuff to sort out managed to get some nice solutions to things in the end. I was sent a codewars by a fellow cohort and it is very hard for me so far i'm yet to finish. Other than that I did some work todays task.
export function greetPerson(name) {
if(typeof name !== "string" || typeof name === Boolean){
return "Please try again with a name!"
}
return `Greetings, ${name}`;
}- 📝 Had some technical issues today lots of things seemed to have crashed or stopped working. I managed to fix a few things though and caught up on some of the work.
it seemed like a comedy of errors today. I'm not sure what happened but I'm glad I managed to get some stuff done. I'm going to try and get some more done tomorrow. Hopefully be of more help to the team.

📚 Here begins a new journey into coding once more. I'm excited to see what I can do this time around. I'm going to try and keep a journal of my progress and see how far I can get. In other news I completed the SCHOOL OF CODE Bootcamp and I'm now a graduate. I'm going to try and keep this up for as long as I can.
-
🖥️ So heres the plan I'm going to try and do a recap of the day and then do some work on the tasks. I'm going to try do code wars at least once a day if I can. On top of this I hope to build side projects and maybe update create a portfolio website.
// Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a chemical found in the nucleus of cells and carries the "instructions" for the development and functioning of living organisms.
// In DNA strings, symbols "A" and "T" are complements of each other, as "C" and "G". Your function receives one side of the DNA (string, except for Haskell); you need to return the other complementary side. DNA strand is never empty or there is no DNA at all (again, except for Haskell).
// "ATTGC" --> "TAACG"
// "GTAT" --> "CATA"
function DNAStrand(dna){
var result= "";
for(var i =0; i<dna.length; i++)
{
if (dna[i]==="A")
{
result +="T";
}
else if (dna[i]==="T")
{
result += "A";
}
else if (dna[i]==="C")
{
result +="G";
}
else if (dna[i]==="G")
{
result += "C";
}
else {
result +=dna[i];
}
}
return result;
}
// There was a more cool way of doing this which was in the suggestions
// function DNAStrand(dna) {
// return dna.replace(/./g, function(c) {
// return DNAStrand.pairs[c]
// })
// }
// DNAStrand.pairs = {
// A: 'T',
// T: 'A',
// C: 'G',
// G: 'C',
// }
//This was a cool way of doing it but I'm not sure I understand it yet. I'll have to look into it more.
- 📝 Today was a juggle but that's fine, nothing will work out the way you expect and as long as I keep trying I'll get there.
Family first, school closure due to flooding, shower heads breaking, and a whole host of other things. I'm glad I managed to get some work done today. I'm going to try and get some more done tomorrow. My boys are alright and happy so that's all that matters. There mum is the real hero for me most days.

📚 Today i started learning python using a Udemy course I bought but never started. There is something familiar about it but it's also very different. I'm going to try and do a bit of python when I can. I'm also going to trying build projects and do code wars.
-
🖥️ I did a code wars today something called the tribonachi sequence. It was a bit of a challenge but I managed to get it done, rather than adding two numbers together like fibonachi it was adding 3 numbers to get the sequence. I also did some work on the python course basic things like variables, strings and inputs.
function tribonacci(signature,n){
let sequence = signature;
if (n === 0) {
return [];
}
// slice takes the last three numbers of the array and adds them together to get the next number in the sequence
while (sequence.length < n) {
let lastThreeNums = sequence.slice(-3);
let sum = lastThreeNums.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
sequence.push(sum);
}
return sequence.slice(0, n);
}
// this should show the first 10 numbers of the sequence
console.log(tribonacci([1,1,1],10));- 📝 I managed to get things done between the kids going to school and the youngest visiting his grandparents and drop off and pick up. Kind of a productive day.
I'm glad I managed to get some work done today. I'm going to try and get some more done tomorrow. I'm going to try and do some more python and maybe some more code wars.

📚 Today I did some more code wars. I'm going to try and do a bit of python when I can. I'm also going to trying build projects and do code wars still.
-
🖥️ I did a code wars today something called "Beginner Series #1 School Paperwork". you had to work out the amount of paperwork needed for a given number of students
// DESCRIPTION:
// Your classmates asked you to copy some paperwork for them. You know that there are 'n' classmates and the paperwork has 'm' pages.
// Your task is to calculate how many blank pages do you need. If n < 0 or m < 0 return 0.
// Example:
// n= 5, m=5: 25
// n=-5, m=5: 0
// Waiting for translations and Feedback! Thanks!
function paperwork(n, m) {
if (n < 0 || m < 0) {
return 0;
}
return n * m;
}
console.log(paperwork(5, 5));
// output: 25
// Other Solutions:
// function paperwork(n, m) {
// return n > 0 && m > 0 ? n * m : 0
// }- 📝 Most of today was spent applying for jobs and trying to get my CV and linkedin up to date. I'm going to try and get some more done tomorrow. I'm going to try and do some more python and maybe some more code wars.
It was good to focus on sending out CV's and working to make myself more employable. I will need to begin working on a bigger project maybe with python i can create something that automates a task for me.

🖥️ I did a code wars today something called "Beginner Series #2 Clock". you had to work out the angle between the hour and minute hands on a clock.
// Check to see if a string has the same amount of 'x's and 'o's. The method must return a boolean and be case insensitive. The string can contain any char.
// Examples input/output:
// XO("ooxx") => true
// XO("xooxx") => false
// XO("ooxXm") => true
// XO("zpzpzpp") => true // when no 'x' and 'o' is present should return true
// XO("zzoo") => false
//step 1: create a function that takes in a string call it XO
//step 2: create a variable that will hold the string converted to lowercase using the toLowerCase method
//step 3: create a variable that will hold the string converted to an array using the split method
//step 4: create a variable that will hold the array filtered for the letter x using the filter method
//step 5: create a variable that will hold the array filtered for the letter o using the filter method
//step 6: create a conditional that will check if the length of the x array is equal to the length of the o array
//step 7: return the conditional
function XO(str) {
let lowerCase = str.toLowerCase()
let arr = lowerCase.split('')
let x = arr.filter(x => x === 'x')
let o = arr.filter(o => o === 'o')
if (x.length === o.length) {
return true
} else {
return false
}
}

📚 Some time has passed since my last entry but there is a fair few things going on. I've been managing to get some codewars done but i've also been working on a project. It's called WORD GAMES and it will be multiple games that help teach phonics to those struggling with reading. I'm making it for my son who is 6 and has a tough time remembering words. I'm hoping it will help him and others who have issues with reading.
-
🖥️ Today begain working on my second game on the project word-constructor which is a game where you have some empty tile slots, visual word clues and eventually spoken word clues. The player has to fill in the empty slots with the correct letters to spell the word.
No code this time round only a screenshot of the games so far and some figma to show a concept of what I'm trying to do.
This is the concept for the game. I'm going to try and make it look like this and maybe I'll go over the design further as I add difficulty levels.
I've only got the Letter set up but they aren't moveable yet. I'm going to try and get that done tomorrow.
Here is the current version it has a scoring system and it's playable and my son liked it which was a bonus I'll need to add more levels and maybe some more features a redesign might be in order too.

📚 I've been working on my project word-constructor which is a game where you have some empty tile slots, visual word clues and eventually spoken word clues. The player has to fill in the empty slots with the correct letters to spell the word. I've been working on the drag and drop feature and it's been a bit of a challenge but I'm getting there.
-
🖥️ Today I managed to get the drag and drop feature working. I've also with the help of a friend Paul Greenfield managed to pass an array of fruit names to the game and it will randomly pick one and display it. The game should display empty slot for the word and then the player can drag and drop the letters into the empty slots. When it's correct it will say CORRECT! otherwise it will show wrong letters in red. Green letters and green border indicate the correct letters.
No screenshot of the games yet but I will and maybe i'll do a side by side comparison with the figma later.

📚 Having a few hiccups with the word constructor game. I will work a bit more on it tonight before moving on to maybe a code wars or two. Then give it another go tomorrow.
-
🖥️ So the issues - The previous letters aren't clearing when the new image is displayed. So i need to work out a way to clear it from the empty slots. Maybe I can add in typing the word as an option also. Then perhaps figure out a nice screen size that will work on tablets and pc i'm not sure about mobile yet. I think it would be harder to do on mobile and I wouldn't want to give my son my phone to play with.
As suggested I have a picture of the game so far and the figma design for comparison maked with the key of my face and the figma logo on the side
- 📝 I might break down the issues and the needs for this game tomorrow to hopefully come up with a solution. I will also consider the useability of the game and how it will work on different devices.
It's getting there, bit by bit. Ocassionally it goes in the wrong direction but if anything it forces you to rethink your approach. Right time to get back to it.

📚 I've been working on my project word-constructor I had fixed a few issues I was having then I started styling it to hopefully make it look a bit better. I'm going to try and do a bit more styling tomorrow.
-
🖥️ Today I made sure all the code for the games was running without error which took a bit of doing but it happened. I also added some more colour to the tiles in the game but hopefully nothing too dark as i don't want to make it harder to read. I'm going to try and do a bit more styling tomorrow.
- 📝 I'm going to try and get some more done tomorrow. Keep chipping away at it I think i'll have to work on audio next and then maybe some more styling.
Not a bad day, there were fiddly bits but i got through it in the end.

-
🖥️ I did a code wars today something called "Count the divisors of a number". you had to work out the number of divisors for a given number.
function getDivisorsCnt(n) {
let count = 0;
const sqrtN = Math.floor(Math.sqrt(n));
for (let i = 1; i <= sqrtN; i++) {

📚 Today was returning to job clinic amd getting things done about the house and bit of shopping not much time for learning until the night time. I did a code wars though.
-
🖥️ I did a code wars today something called "How good are you really?". you had to write something that would compare scores and tell you if you were better as True and if your were worse than the other fictional test taker as false.
// There was a test in your class and you passed it. Congratulations!
// But you're an ambitious person. You want to know if you're better than the average student in your class.
// You receive an array with your peers' test scores. Now calculate the average and compare your score!
// Return True if you're better, else False!
// Step 1 create a function that takes in an array of numbers and a number function betterThanAverage(classPoints, yourPoints)
// Step 2 create a variable that will hold the average and set it to 0
// Step 3 create a for loop that will loop through the array and add each number to the average
// Step 4 create a variable that will hold the average and set it to the length of the array
// Step 5 create a conditional statement that will check if your points is greater than the average
// Step 6 if your points is greater than the average return true else return false
function betterThanAverage(classPoints, yourPoints) {
let average = 0;

-
🖥️ I did a code wars today something called "Build Tower". you had to build a pyramid using * to represent the building.
// Build Tower
// Build a pyramid-shaped tower, as an array/list of strings, given a positive integer number of floors. A tower block is represented with "*" character.
// For example, a tower with 3 floors looks like this:
// [
// " * ",
// " *** ",
// "*****"
// ]
// And a tower with 6 floors looks like this:
// [
// " * ",
// " *** ",
// " ***** ",
// " ******* ",
// " ********* ",
// "***********"
// ]
// Step 1 create a function that takes in a number called towerBuilder
// Step 2 create a variable that will hold the tower and set it to an empty array
// Step 3 create a variable that will hold the space and set it to an empty string
// Step 4 create a for loop that will loop through the number and add the space to the tower
// Step 5 create a variable that will hold the star and set it to an empty string
// Step 6 create a for loop that will loop through the number and add the star to the tower
// Step 7 create a variable that will hold the tower and set it to an empty array
// Step 8 create a for loop that will loop through the number and add the space to the tower
function towerBuilder(nFloors) {
let tower = []; // Holds the entire tower
for (let i = 1; i <= nFloors; i++) { // Starts from 1 to make it easier to calculate stars and spaces
let numSpaces = nFloors - i; // Calculate the number of spaces before and after the stars for the current floor
let numStars = 2 * i - 1; // Calculate the number of stars for the current floor
let spaces = ' '.repeat(numSpaces); // Create a string of spaces
let stars = '*'.repeat(numStars); // Create a string of stars
let floor = spaces + stars + spaces; // Combine spaces and stars to create the current floor
tower.push(floor); // Add the current floor to the tower array
}
return tower;

📚 After speaking with JJ(my mentor) yesterday he gave me some ideas of what to do next. One of which was looking into Docker and how to use it.
-
🖥️ I spent some of the day going through setting up docker files in my apps to see if i could get them running on docker. After watching a bit of Docker Crash Course by Net Ninja and asking Chatgpt what i'd missed on set up of certain files I managed to get it up and running. I now have two images for the two apps. So that should mean others can go on my repo and pull the image and be good to go.
- 📝 I'll see if i can look more into the backend for this project tonight but also see if i can add some more functionality to the word-constructor app as i can't seem to add backspace for wrong keyboard inputs at the moment.
It was good to learn something new it maybe useful to know this when looking for jobs.

📚 Today I was a slow one, didn't get to work on much till late at night. So the project work is sort of stuck at the moment i'm trying to work things out as i go. I did a code wars though.
-
🖥️ The code wars i did was called "Break camelCase" and it was a bit of a challenge but I managed to get it done. I'll show the code below.
// Complete the solution so that the function will break up camel casing, using a space between words.
// Example
// "camelCasing" => "camel Casing"
// "identifier" => "identifier"
// "" => ""
// step 1: function that takes in a string
// step 2: create a variable that will hold the new string and set it to an empty string
// step 3: create a for loop that will loop through the string
// step 4: create a conditional statement that will check if the current character is uppercase

IT's good getting anything done on the weekend no matter the size of the work done. Bit by bit it will get done.

📚Weekend again so not much time for coding but I did manage to do a code wars. I'm going to try and do a bit more project work tomorrow.
-
🖥️ The code wars i did was called "Convert number to reversed array of digits"
function digitize(n) {
// Convert number to string and split into array of digits
const digits = String(n).split('');
// Reverse the order of the digits and convert back to numbers
return digits.reverse().map(Number);
}
console.log(digitize(35231)); // Output: [1, 3, 2, 5, 3]
console.log(digitize(0)); // Output: [0]
console.log(digitize(12345)); // Output: [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]- 📝 I'm going to try and get some more project work done tomorrow. Keep moving forward.
I wish I could do more but the weekend is family time. Might need more time away from the screen anyway.

🖥️ I've been looking into .net and c# the project is on hold a little bit but not for long. I'm going to try and do a bit more project work tomorrow. I need to consider making a database an API and backend for the project. I'm not sure how to do that yet but I'll look into it.

📚 Everything has slowed down for the moment as I'm planning the next stages of a porfolio website and then thinking about my main project and what I need to do next.
-
🖥️ So i've been looking at scrolling portfolio websites, also been checking out three.js animations for some interesting effects.
- 📝 No code but plenty of things to work on figure out and then move forward with. I feel like I may have tried to rush a few things lately without much thought into how to complete them.
Tomorrow may involve working out a strategy for the next steps of the project. I'm not sure what to do next but I'll figure it out.
