LAB | JS Basic Algorithms

Welcome to your first bootcamp exercise at Ironhack!

The goal of this exercise is to get you familiarized with the primitive data structures in JavaScript, which we just covered in the class. Feel free to reference lesson materials and don't limit yourself but be curious and use Google to explore multiple solutions.

Ready?

Introduction

For this pair-programming activity we are going to use a REPL. You can find a REPL that runs in the browser for programming languages as JavaScript in https://repl.it/languages/nodejs.

Ready to start?

Requirements

Fork this repo
Clone this repo
Go to repl.it and create an account (or login if you have one)
Type this in the Code Editor (left panel)
```
console.log("I'm ready!");
```
Press run ►
If you can see the message in the right side panel, you are really ready!
When you are done completely or at any point after the first iteration, copy your code into the js/index.js file and follow the steps for submission.

Submission

Upon completion, run the following commands:

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "done"
$ git push origin master

Create Pull Request so your TAs can check up your work.

You should make a PR (stands for Pull Request) as soon as you make any significant change. You shouldn't have to wait until you're completely done with this or any other exercise to make the PR. After you do the first PR, any other time you push the changes (following the previous three steps), your change will appear automatically on the PR and your TAs will be able to check it.

Instructions

Iteration 1: Names and Input

1.1 Create a variable hacker1 with the driver's name.

1.2 Print "The driver's name is XXXX".

1.3 Create a variable hacker2 with the navigator's name.

1.4 Print "The navigator's name is YYYY".

Iteration 2: Conditionals

2.1. Depending on which name is longer, print:
- The driver has the longest name, it has XX characters. or
- It seems that the navigator has the longest name, it has XX characters. or
- Wow, you both have equally long names, XX characters!.

Iteration 3: Loops

3.1 Print all the characters of the driver's name, separated by a space and in capitals i.e. "J O H N"

3.2 Print all the characters of the navigator's name, in reverse order. i.e. "nhoJ"

3.3 Depending on the lexicographic order of the strings, print:
- The driver's name goes first.
- Yo, the navigator goes first definitely.
- What?! You both have the same name?

Bonus Time!

Bonus 1:

Go to lorem ipsum generator and:

Generate 3 paragraphs. Store the text in a variable type of string.
Make your program count the number of words in the string.
Make your program count the number of times the Latin word et appears.

Bonus 2:

Ask the user for a new string and check if it's a Palindrome. Examples of palindromes:

"A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!"
"Amor, Roma"
"race car"
"stack cats"
"step on no pets"
"taco cat"
"put it up"
"Was it a car or a cat I saw?" and "No 'x' in Nixon".
