  Question:  Write a Javascript function that accepts a string as a parameter and counts the number of vowels within the string.  Answer:  function vowelCount (str) {   let vowels = /[aeiou]/gi;   let result = str.match(vowels);   let count = result.length;   return count;       }; > we declare a function 'vowelCount'  > it has one parameter 'str', which is a string > we declare a variable 'vowels' and initialize it with the 5 vowels > the 'g' modifier is used on the 'vowels' variable to perform a global match  > a global match will find all matches and will not stop after finding the first match >  additionally   the 'i' modifier is used  on the 'vowels' variable to perform case insensitive matching > we declare another variable 'result' and initialize it with the result we get when we use the match () method on the 'str' parameter > the match() method searches a string for a ma...

  Question:  Write a function isPrime that checks whether a passed number is prime. In case of a prime number it should return true, otherwise false. Example: isPrime(7) should return true and isPrime(8) should return false. Answer:  function isPrime (n) { if (n <= 1) return false;  for (let i = 2; i < n; i++)  if (n % i == 0) return true;  return false;  }; > a prime number is a natural number > it is greater than 1 > it is only divisible by 1 and itself; eg 7  > so  (7 % 1 = 0) & (7 % 7 = 0) > but 7 % any other number is not 0; meaning it will always have a remainder > this is because 7 is not divisible by any other number > 1 is not a prime number  > to be a prime number; the condition is to be divisible by any 2 positive divisors > 7 is divisible by 7 & 1;  > 3 is divisible by 3 & 1 > since 1 is only divisible by 1 and no other number, it does not fulfil the condition > ...

  Question:  Write a function addWithSurcharge that adds two amounts with surcharge. For each amount less than or equal to 10, the surcharge is 1. For each amount greater than 10, the surcharge is 2. Example: addWithSurcharge(5, 15) should return 23. Answer:  function addWithSurcharge (a,b) { if (a <= 10 && b <= 10) { return a + b + 2;  } else if (a > 10 && b > 10) {  return a + b + 4;  } else return a + b + 3; } ; or  function addWithSurcharge(a, b) {   let surcharge = 0;   if (a <= 10) {     surcharge = surcharge + 1;   } else {     surcharge = surcharge + 2;   }   if (b <= 10) {     surcharge = surcharge + 1;   } else {     surcharge = surcharge + 2;   }   return a + b + surcharge; } > in the first example we declare a function addWithSurcharge >>> it has two parameters >>> we create if / else if / else statements to...
