Your task is to write several functions that are the solution to the subtasks. Subtasks descriptions, as well as instructions on how to run tests and submit solutions are below.
Your task is to count the cats hidden in the backyard (presented by two-dimensional Array
). Cats hide well, but their ears ("^^"
) are clearly visible. Your task is to implement the countCats(backyard)
function that will count cats. Good luck!
Number of cats found should be number
. If no cats found, function should return 0
.
For example:
countCats([ [0, 1, '^^'], [0, '^^', 2], ['^^', 1, 2] ]) => 3
Write your code in src/count-cats.js
.
To determine the age of archaeological finds, radioisotope dating is widely used. One of its types is radiocarbon dating.
The approximate age of the sample is calculated by measuring the ratio of the modern activity of the C14 isotope to the activity of the same isotope in the sample.
About calculations
You can use the formula from the article at the link above. 0.693 is an approximation of the natural logarithm of two.Your task is to implement the function dateSample(sampleActivity)
that calculates sample approximate age (in years). Please use given MODERN_ACTIVITY
and HALF_LIFE_PERIOD
.
Function parameter sampleActivity
is a string
. Calculated sample age must be number
.
Age must be integer. Age must be rounded up (ceiling). In case of wrong input parameter type or inadequate activity value or absence of argument function must return false
.
For example:
dateSample('1') => 22387
(or 22392
depending on formula used)
dateSample('WOOT!') => false
Write your code in src/carbon-dating.js
.
Imagine you and your friends decide to create a dream team. This team should have a cool secret name that contains encrypted information about it. For example, these may be the first letters of the names of its members in upper case sorted alphabetically.
Your task is to implement the createDreamTeam(members)
function that returns name of a newly made team (string
) based on the names of its members (Array
). Good luck!
Names of the members should be strings
. Values with other type should be ignored. In case of wrong members
type function must return false
.
NB! Team member name may contain whitespaces.
For example:
createDreamTeam(['Matt', 'Ann', 'Dmitry', 'Max'])
=> 'ADMM'
createDreamTeam(['Olivia', 1111, 'Lily', 'Oscar', true, null])
=> 'LOO'
Write your code in src/dream-team.js
.
Your task is to implement the function getSeason(date)
that accepts Date
object and returns the time of the year that matches it.
Time of the year must be string
.
Seasons in English
The names of the seasons in English are: spring, summer, autumn (fall), winter.If the date
argument was not passed, the function must return the string
'Unable to determine the time of year!'
. If the date
argument is invalid, the function must throw an Error
.
Shh! An enemy scout has lurked among the arguments that come into this function.
He is guided by the famous proverb: “If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck (who cares what it really is)”. He is expertly disguised as a real date, but a clever javascript developer can catch him and throw
an Error
just in time!
For example:
const springDate = new Date(2020, 02, 31)
getSeason(springDate) => 'spring'
Write your code in src/what-season.js
.
Tower of Hanoi is famous mathematical puzzle of the 18th century. It consists of three rods and a number of disks of different sizes, which can slide onto any rod. The puzzle starts with the disks in a neat stack in ascending order of size on one rod, the smallest at the top, thus making a conical shape.
The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following simple rules:
- Only one disk can be moved at a time.
- Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack or on an empty rod.
- No larger disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.
Your task is much easier than coming up with an algorithm that solves this puzzle :)
Implement the function calculateHanoi
that accepts diskNumber
and turnsSpeed
parameters. diskNumber
is a number of disks and turnsSpeed
is the speed of moving discs (in turns per hour).
Both parameters are numbers
.
calculateHanoi
function returns an object with 2 properties:
turns
(minimumnumber
of turns to solve the puzzle)seconds
(minimumnumber
of seconds to solve the puzzle at a giventurnsSpeed
, seconds must be an integer, obtained from rounded down (floor) calculation result)
You don't need to validate parameters.
For example:
calculateHanoi(9, 4308) => { turns: 511, seconds: 427 }
Write your code in src/hanoi-tower.js
.
Your task is to implement the function transform(arr)
that takes an array
and returns transformed array, based on the control sequences that arr
contains.
Control sequences are defined string
elements of the mentioned array
:
--discard-next
excludes the next element of the array from the transformed array.--discard-prev
excludes the previous element of the array from the transformed array.--double-next
doubles the next element of the array in the transformed array.--double-prev
doubles the previous element of the array in the transformed array.
For example:
transform([1, 2, 3, '--double-next', 4, 5])
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5]
transform([1, 2, 3, '--discard-prev', 4, 5])
=> [1, 2, 4, 5]
The function must not affect inital array. Control sequences are applied from left to right. Control sequences do not fall into the transformed array. Control sequences in initial array don't occur in a row. If there is no element next to the control sequence to which it can be applied, it does nothing. The function should throw an Error
if the arr
is not an Array
.
Write your code in src/transform-array.js
.
Let's practice in chaining!
Your task is to create the object chainMaker
that creates chains. The finished chain is a string
and looks like this: '( value1 )~~( value2 )~~( value3 )'
.
The chainMaker
has several methods for creating chains and modifying them:
getLength
returns the current chain length as a number;addLink(value)
adds a link containing astring
representation of thevalue
to the chain;removeLink(position)
removes a chain link in the specified position;reverseChain
reverses the chain;finishChain
ends the chain andreturns
it.
addLink
, reverseChain
and removeLink
methods are chainable, while the another ones are not. If addLink
is called with no arguments, it adds an empty link ('( )'
) to the chain. If removeLink
accepts invalid position
(e.g. not a number, or a fractional number, or corresponding to a nonexistent link), it must throw an Error
. After calling the finishChain
method, the existing chain must be deleted, as if an Error
was thrown.
For example:
chainMaker.addLink(1).addLink(2).addLink(3).finishChain()
=> '( 1 )~~( 2 )~~( 3 )'
chainMaker.addLink(1).addLink(2).removeLink(1).addLink(3).finishChain()
=> '( 2 )~~( 3 )'
chainMaker.addLink(1).addLink(2).reverseChain().addLink(3).finishChain()
=> '( 2 )~~( 1 )~~( 3 )'
Write your code in src/simple-chain.js
.
Your task is to implement the class DepthCalculator
with method calculateDepth
that takes an array
and returns its depth.
calculateDepth
method must pass the given array recursively. Depth of a flat array is 1. Method must correctly work with arrays
that contain no elements or contain empty arrays
.
For example:
const depthCalc = new DepthCalculator();
const { calculateDepth } = depthCalc;
calculateDepth([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
=> 1
calculateDepth([1, 2, 3, [4, 5]])
=> 2
calculateDepth([[[]]])
=> 3
Write your code in src/recursive-depth.js
.
Your task is to implement the function repeater(str, options)
.
This function returns a repeating string
based on the given parameters:
str
is astring
to repeat;options
is anobject
of options, that contains properties:repeatTimes
sets thenumber
of repetitions of thestr
;separator
is astring
separating repetitions of thestr
;addition
is an additionalstring
that will be added to each repetition of thestr
;additionRepeatTimes
sets thenumber
of repetitions of theaddition
;additionSeparator
is astring
separating repetitions of theaddition
.
The str
and addition
parameters are strings
by default. In case when type of these parameters is different, they must be converted to a string
.
separator
and additionSeparator
parameters are strings
.
repeatTimes
and additionRepeatTimes
are integer numbers
(in the absence of any of them, the corresponding string is not repeated).
The only indispensable parameter is str
, any others may be not defined. separator
default value is '+'
. additionSeparator
default value is '|'
.
For example: repeater('STRING', { repeatTimes: 3, separator: '**', addition: 'PLUS', additionRepeatTimes: 3, additionSeparator: '00' })
=> 'STRINGPLUS00PLUS00PLUS**STRINGPLUS00PLUS00PLUS**STRINGPLUS00PLUS00PLUS'
Write your code in src/extended-repeater.js

Cryptography is awesome! Let's try to organize production of encryption machines. Our machines will use one of the encryption methods that are easy to understand, but also not amenable to simple cryptanalysis - the Vigenere cipher.
Our machine will have 2 modifications: direct and reverse (the type of machine is determined at the moment of creation). The direct machine simply encodes and decodes the string that was transmitted to it, and the reverse machine returns an inverted string after encoding and decoding.
Your task is to implement the class VigenereCipheringMachine
. constructor
of this class
accepts true
(or nothing) to create direct machine and false
to create reverse machine.
Each instance of VigenereCipheringMachine
must have 2 methods: encrypt
and decrypt
.
encrypt
method accepts 2 parameters: message
(string
to encode) and key
(string
-keyword).
decrypt
method accepts 2 parameters: encryptedMessage
(string
to decode) and key
(string
-keyword).
These parameters for both methods are mandatory. If at least one of them has not been given, an Error
must be thrown. The text returned by these methods must be uppercase. Machines encrypt and decrypt only latin alphabet (all other symbols remain unchanged).
You don't need to validate value sent to constructor
and to encrypt
and decrypt
methods (except throwing an Error
on absence of argument for these methods).
For example:
const directMachine = new VigenereCipheringMachine();
const reverseMachine = new VigenereCipheringMachine(false);
directMachine.encrypt('attack at dawn!', 'alphonse') => 'AEIHQX SX DLLU!'
directMachine.decrypt('AEIHQX SX DLLU!', 'alphonse') => 'ATTACK AT DAWN!'
reverseMachine.encrypt('attack at dawn!', 'alphonse') => '!ULLD XS XQHIEA'
reverseMachine.decrypt('AEIHQX SX DLLU!', 'alphonse') => '!NWAD TA KCATTA'
