Nested Loops

Getting started

Fork and clone this repository.
Navigate to the cloned repository's directory on your command line. Then, run the following command:
```
npm install
```
This will install the libraries needed to run the tests.
Open up the repository in VSCode. Follow the instructions below to complete the Lab.

Instructions

There are several functions with tests. You should work on creating the functionality to pass the tests.

Tests

To run the tests, you can run the following command from the command line. You will need to be in the root directory of your repository.

npm test

This will run the test output once.

Run file

If you want to manually test out your file, you can do so by running the following command.

node index.js

Test watcher

If you'd like, you can have the tests run constantly. This means that each time you save your file, your tests will re-run. To do so, you can run the following:

npm run watch

Follow the on-screen prompts to exit out of the constant runner.

Function Descriptions & Examples

While most of the functions should have enough information in the comments to create the needed functionality, some additonal information is provided about some of the functions below.

getAllArtistNames()

The getAllArtistNames function should return an array of strings listing the names of the artists found in the data.json file.

One artist object has the following shape:

  {
    "name": "Wolf Parade",
    "albums": [
      {
        "title": "At Mount Zoomer",
        "year": 2008,
        "songs": [
          "The Grey Estates",
          "Language City",
          "California Dreamer",
        ]
      },
      {
        "title": "Expo 86",
        "year": 2010,
        "songs": [
          "Yulia",
          "Two Men in New Tuxedos",
          "Palm Road",
          "Pobody's Nerfect"
        ]
      }]
  }

There can be any number of artists, any artist can have any number of albums and any album can have any number of songs.

simpleChekcerBoard()

The simpleCheckerBoard() function should return a string of spaces and # symbols that represent a checkerboard. A checkerboard is 8 x 8 squares. The light squares should be represented by " " and the dark squares should be represented by #. To create a new line the characters \n should be added.

str = str + "\n";

The upper left square should be light and the lowere right square should be light " " When you console log your string it should look like this:

 # # # #
# # # #
 # # # #
# # # #
 # # # #
# # # #
 # # # #
# # # #

createChessBoard()

The createChessBoard() function should return an array of objects that rerpresent a chessboard. A chessboard is 8 x 8 squares.

The objets should have the following properties

piece: null, the chesssboard should start with no pieces on it. An empty square should have a piece null by default.
positionX: a number from 0 to 7 representing the row, where the top row is 0 and the bottom row is 7
positionY: a number from 0 to 7 representing the column, where the left column is 0 and the right column is 7
color: should be the string light or dark. The upper left square and lower right square should both be light.

Here is the expected output (squareName is included to help clarify the expected output but is not required):

      piece: null,

      positionY: 0,

Bonus

Add another property squareName that represents the square name from an offical board.

The upper left square should be a8 and the lower right should be h1
