Codecademy

[BustinJustin]

Anybody used it? I think it's actually pretty good for teaching.  I haven't made my way to their more in-depth stuff so I don't know how advanced they get.

 

I've been using it to refresh on JavaScript. I got to one "assignment" and it keeps telling me that I have an error. Can you find it? I can't:

var creditCheck = function(income){     if(income >= 100){           console.log("You earn a lot of money! You qualify for a credit card.");     }     else{            console.log("Alas yo do not qualify for a credit card.  Capitalism is cruel like that.");     }};creditCheck(75);

The instructions are:

1. Write a function called creditCheck that takes the parameter income.
2. Inside the function, write an if statement where if the income is greater than or equal to 100, the computer will return "You earn a lot of money! You qualify for a credit card."
3. If the income is less than 100, have the computer return "Alas you do not qualify for a credit card. Capitalism is cruel like that."
4. Call the function passing in an income of 75
5. AFTER you call it with 75, call it with 125
6. AFTER you call it with 125, call it with 100. Have to be sure!

 

 

I get the error: "Oops, try again! It looks like your function doesn't return 'Alas you do not qualify for a credit card. Capitalism is cruel like that.' when the income argument is 75."

 

Am I doing something wrong or is the site derping?

Introduction to functions 12/13

[Jeroen1322]

This is my code: 

var creditCheck = function(income){if(income >= 100){return "You earn a lot of money! You qualify for a credit card.";} else {return "Alas you do not qualify for a credit card. Capitalism is cruel like that.";}};console.log(creditCheck(75));console.log(creditCheck(125));console.log(creditCheck(100));

I think the thing you did wrong was not console log but i don't know for sure but feel free to copy and paste my code!

[BustinJustin]

I tried the console log and I still got the error. Then I copied and pasted your code and it worked!

 

I have no idea what I did wrong but thanks for the help!

do else have to be inside if? so one tab to the left. try it, but i dont speak C so i cant say

It's doing it again. I think the problem is that for some reason it's logging the reply twice.

On the first example I believe he was complaining about the string not being exactly what was expected.

You had "Alas yo do not qualify for a credit card. Capitalism is cruel like that."

 

On the second example I'd say he's complaining because you are logging the string instead of actually returning it.

[Tigerbomb8]

In the first assignment you didn't copy the exact phrase they wanted you to return.. You also have to use 

return "phrase";

 not 

console.log("phrase");

In the second assignment you will also use return..

Ahhh I can't stand that java style line breaking. C style is so much nicer

What?

 

This looks like Javascript, not Java. And what line breaking?

sorry for the thread hijacking but i'm stuck on this level in html and i dont want to start a whole new thread for another codeacademy problem!

 

Codeacademy is telling me to basically make an image be a certain height and have the border with the given requirements:

1. Give your tds a border of 1px dashed blue.

td{    height:50px;    border: 1px dashed blue;} 

^this is what i have in my css file but i get an error saying i haven't put the border as 1px wide, any ideas why? Thanks

That td selector code should work. How are you using the css? Inline, header, or external file?  In VS 2012 Pro with intellisense automatic code writing, this code was generated

 

The no space between the :5 shouldn't effect the code from running the right way. Might want to to look at the space between td{

td {    border: 1px dotted blue;    height: 50px;}

if you see *.js it's JavaScript. The screenshot clearly shows script.js.

 

I never thought about creating a javascript paper, rock, and scissors game. Just add graphics and you good to go. I read the thread kind of fast.  Don't know that you trying to do. I know that you will get the same results because line 1 to 9 is commented out.

 

I use document.write("Some text"); over console.log because I'm a website developer & Designer by trade.
