👻 Exercism: JavaScript Track
To get some more practice writing JavaScript, we’re going to use an awesome free online tool called Exercism.
Please sign up (you can use your GitHub account) and choose the JavaScript track.
There are two ways to use Exercism: on their site with their online editor or by installng a command line tool and working on the exercises locally. It is much easier to use the online editor, so I recommend that you do that. However, you are welcome to work locally if you want to work through the setup (their documentation is excellent). Here is an overview summarizing the two options for solving exercises.
If your exercises are locked you need to switch from Learning Mode to Practice Mode. Here’s a short video showing you how to do that.
Complete at minimum the first three following exercises in the JavaScript track. For each exercise, make all the tests pass and follow the instructions on Exercism to submit your solution.
- Hello World (required)
- TwoFer (required)
- Raindrops (required)
- Hamming
- ResistorColor
- If you finish those, try any other learning exercise that looks interesting to you!
To submit your homework, paste your solution urls into this form.
