Running JavaScript Code in Node REPL

Objectives

1. Use REPL
2. Execute code in REPL
3. Exit REPL

Introduction

A good understanding of Node REPL will give you a tool to test your Node code quickly. We'll practice using the REPL by writing a sum function and using JavaScript's Date instance.

Instructions

• Enter REPL
• Write Node code to perform math by creating a sum function which adds two numbers together and returns the solution. The numbers should be passed as parameters to the function.
• Write and call the sum function.
• Find out what the day of the week was the day of the Declaration of Independence (July 4th, 1776) by creating a date object for the date. For example, new Date(2015, 12, 31) for Dec 31, 2015. See the resources below for help with Date.
• Exit REPL

Resources

• Arguments object on MDN
• Date on MDN
