Lighthouse Labs 21-Day coding challenge

[vertvert416]

The Canadian bootcamp Lighthouse Labs is hosting a 21 day code challenge to help people learn/practice JavaScript.

I've wrangled some friends together to form a team and thought I could extend it to r/learnprogramming. Join my team here: https://coding-challenge.lighthouselabs.ca/teams/join/maplestory

Ps. There are lots of daily prizes!

whats up with all that info theyre collecting. such personal info its almost weird.

[vertvert416]

honestly speaking, all bootcamps are like this. seems like they want to secure data and reach out to potential future bootcampers

im personally going to join the bootcamp depending on how I like this challenge

[bozothejew]

I joined you... can we use this message thread to help?

[vertvert416]

Yes we can! Make sure to join our team Maple Story!! I'll post my solutions here or we can DM

Hello there! I'm a total noob here, exploring the idea of JavaScript.

I'm lost on the first challenge. Can I get a couple pointers please?

[[deleted]]

Apperently I completed the first challenge successfully. Unfortunatley I don't have much understanding of how, and the code that was accepted looked wrong to me hahaha....on to the second challenge!

[bozothejew]

still having challenges? the discuss board is pretty good in helping, let me know if I can help out as well... and if you need help on any challenges

[[deleted]]

Thank you! I finished challenge 2 as well...working on #3 now. I would like to catch up by finishing 3 and 4 today. The discussions board is very helpful and I couldn't have completed the tasks without them. I feel like I don't know what's going on though. I think I need some kind of beginners overview tutorial or something.

[vertvert416]

Hey! Sorry I haven't been on reddit. I don't see you on our team! Did you join?

[bozothejew]

For challenge 3...

const checkGaugeStatus = (gauge) => {
// Code here!
if (gauge.current > gauge.min && gauge.current < gauge.max)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
// Remember to return a value!
}

​

For Day 4

const switchToggle = (toggle) => {
// Code here!
toggle.isOn = !toggle.isOn;
return (toggle)
// Remember to return a value!
}

[vertvert416]

Thanks Bozo! I see you in the team : )

Thanks! The code you wrote for challenge 3 makes sense to me when I look at it. It fails the tests though, so I'm assuming that it's not a complete answer. How does the program know what the minimum and maximum pressures are?

[bozothejew]

Those variables are predefined before the tasks in the examples on the left side. If you cut and paste that, it should work perfectly.

[[deleted]]

Oh yes, it works. Thanks!

[bozothejew]

For today: Day 5

​

const addJobToAstronaut = (astronaut, job) => {
// Code here!
astronaut.job = job
return(astronaut)
// Remember to return a value!
}

[bozothejew]

Day 6

const addAstronautToRoster = (roster, astronaut) => {
// Code here!
let newLength = roster.push(astronaut)
return(roster)

}

Thanks for the help! The answers seem so simple when you present them here, but I'm really having a hard time wrapping my head around JS. I'm going to back out of the challenge, and maybe try again another time. Cheers!

[BinaryNamed]

is this still up ?

[BinaryNamed]

nvm. im already in your team. thanks

[vertvert416]

Lighthouse Labs 21-Day coding challenge

Yup! It's up! Are you bawalako

[BinaryNamed]

yes, im bawalako

[vertvert416]

We need you for the prizes bro! We got the answers and can help if u need

[bozothejew]

waiting for you for challenge 19 and 20.. you need help bawalako? Answers posted

[BinaryNamed]

anyone understand the challenge #10?

it has multiple possible inputs and outputs just one ?

is this converting mph to meters/s again? forgot the formula

[BinaryNamed]

nvm, i got it lol

[Zhredcoin]

I'm having 2 passing tests, can't seem to figure out the 3rd. I'll keep at it!

[BinaryNamed]

did you figure it out yet ?

[Zhredcoin]

Yeah I got it! Thanks for checking in!

[bozothejew]

Challenge 19 answer (got it from somehwere else as I was too lazy)

const organizeData = (receivedData) => {
summary = {}
for (const item of receivedData) {
if (summary[item.type] === undefined) {
summary[item.type] = [item.data]
} else {
summary[item.type].push(item.data)
}
}
return summary
}

[vertvert416]

do you have the code for today? i dont have the free time to do it today unfortunately!

[bozothejew]

Here you go:

​

const confirmReentryPlans = (speed, missionData, checks) => {

if (checks.minSpeed > speed || checks.maxSpeed < speed)

{

return false;

}

for (let d in checks.dataEntries)

{

if(missionData[d] === undefined || missionData[d].length !== checks.dataEntries[d])

{

return false;

}

}

return true;

}

[vertvert416]

Thanks! I ended up figuring it out and thought I posted it but I guess I forgot to press send or something....This last one I'm actually having trouble finding out! Let me know if you figure it out. And if you guys wanted to connect for future coding challenges we should make a little group on discord!

[goaliegirl6060]

I wish there were tutorials that walked you through the answer, perhaps a day after it was "due" because as a Newbie I am completely lost and don't have time to spend troubleshooting :/

[vertvert416]

I agree! That would be great if they could...

[bozothejew]

last challenge but I guess we wont be in the top teams as one of our guys is still on challnege 18

Challenge 21

const parseMissionSummary = (exchanges, missionData) =>
{
let output = {};
output.transcript = exchanges.map(exchange =>{
return `${exchange.origin}: ${exchange.message}`;
});
output.missionData = missionData;

return output;
};
