  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...

Javascript Practice 60: JS Hero - Array of arrays

  Question:  Write a function flat that flattens a two-dimensional array with 3 entries. let row1 = [4, 9, 2]; let row2 = [3, 5, 7]; let row3 = [8, 1, 6]; let loshu = [row1, row2, row3]; Example: flat(loshu) should return [4, 9, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 1, 6]. Thereby loshu is the magic square from the example above. Answer:  function flat (array) { let entryA = array[0];  let entryB = array[1];  let entryC = array[2];  let finalD = entryA.concat(entryB, entryC); return finalD; }; > declare a function flat > it has 1 parameter array > we know that we need to flatten a two dimensional array which has 3 entries / arrays > an array that contains an array is called a two dimensional array > we declare 3 variables that access the three entries / arrays within the 2D array > we then concat all three arrays using the concat () method and store the output in another variable finalD > we return the finalD variable to get our single flattened array ...

Javascript Practice 70: JS Hero - break and continue

  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 > ...
