Introduction

Today you'll worth through 7 JavaScript Tasks to practice today's objectives and get familiar and comfortable with the foundations of JavaScript.

Exercises are outlined in the index.js file, please read the instructions carefully for each task and complete it. Note that you may have to use your googling skills to research and look things up if you do not have all the information you need to complete the task.

Instructions

Task 1: Set up Project

Using VSCode and Command Line:

1. Fork repo and add TL as collaborator on Github.
2. Clone your fork (not Lambda's repo by mistake!).
3. cd into your newly cloned repository.
4. Create a new branch by typing git checkout -b <firstName-lastName>.

Task 2: Complete MVP Requirements

Find the index.js file and complete the tasks as written.

As you work on your code you should make use of console.log to check your progress and debug.

Task 2b: Exit Ticket

Once you begin, you will have 15 minutes to answer the questions here

The completion of these questions is mandatory for MVP. However, passing the quiz doesn't affect your standing as a Lambda School student whatsoever. This is Lambda School testing itself! Please answer honestly and to the best of your ability without using external references.

Task 3: Stretch Goals

After you have completed the requirements, try any of the following challenges. As always, note that these may require additional research beyond what you learned in this module.

• See tasks labelled stretch. Please ensure you've completed MVP before you attempt the stretch goals. Note that you may need to look forward to tomorrow's training kit in order to complete the task.

Submission format

Follow these steps for completing your project.

1. Submit a pull request to merge <firstName-lastName> branch into master. Please don't merge your own pull request
2. Add your TL as a reviewer on the pull-request
3. Your TL will count the project as complete by merging the branch back into master
