progra-usm-cl

JavaScript (NodeJS) implementation of programming exercises from Chile's "Santa Maria" University (USM)

Motivation

As part of helping some folks from DuocUC learning programming fundamentals and JavaScript for Web Development. Exercises published on a public domain are implemented in JavaScript.

The full list of exercises is available here.

Getting Started

You will need to install NodeJS in your system, I recommend installing the LTS (LTS stands for Long Term Support) version.

Then clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/EstebanBorai/progra-usm-cl.git

Step into project directory using your terminal.

cd ./progra-usm-cl

Install any dependencies using npm (Comes with NodeJS installation).

npm install

Locally and use node to run execute the exercises:

node src/pt1/01_greeting.js

How to add exercises

As you go through exercises, you will have to create JavaScript files inside of the src directory. Given that exercises are split into 3 main chapters, the src directory must contain 3 directories, one for each chapter.

Each file mus be prefixed with the exercise number as follows:

01_greeting.js

The resulting structure would be:

src/pt1/01_greeting.js

Utilities

Utilities for perfoming tasks like reading from user keyboard input are included inside of the src/utils/stdin.js file. If you have any issues using this module please open an issue here.

Whenever you want to read from user input you must import the prompt function from the stdin.js module.

import { prompt } from "../utils/stdin.js";        // Imports the `prompt` function

const name = await prompt("Ingrese su nombre: ");  // Awaits for user input

console.log("Hola, " + name);                      // Prints: Hola, {name}
