Introduction

This week you will be working on Javascript fundamentals to practice what you have learned. You will be given prompts to guide you and you should read the prompts carefully.

Assignments are outlined in the basics.js, functions.js, arrays.js and objects.js files, please read the instructions carefully for each task and complete it. Note that you may have to use your googling skills to research and look things up if you do not have all the information you need to complete the task.

Instructions

Task 1: Set Up The Project With Git

Follow these steps to set up and work on your project:

• Create a forked copy of this project.
• Clone your OWN version of the repository (Not Gabi's by mistake!).
• Create a new branch: git checkout -b <firstName-lastName>.
• Implement the project on your newly created <firstName-lastName> branch, committing changes regularly.
• Push commits: git push origin <firstName-lastName>.
• Submit Assignment in the Student Portal

Task 2: MVP

Find the basics.js, functions.js, arrays.js and objects.js files and complete the tasks as they're written in there.

As you work on your code you should make use of console.log to check your progress and debug.

Task 3: Stretch Goals

After you have completed the requirements, try any of the following challenges. As always, note that these may require additional research beyond what you learned in this module.

• See tasks labelled stretch. Please ensure you've completed MVP before you attempt the stretch goals.
