Bonfire wants us to confirm the ending of a string so that whatever is last in a string matches whatever value we put into as another variable. Here’s what it starts us off with: function end(str, target) { return str; } end(‘Bastian’, ‘n’); Knowing Free Code Camp, they’re not going to make it as easy […]

Let’s take a look at today’s Bonfire challenge, returning the largest numbers in an array. I was a bit thrown by this one, honestly, because something about numbers just intimidates me. So let’s approach this one slowly. First of all, here’s what Free Code Camp gives us: function largestOfFour(arr) { // You can do this! […]

Today we’re going to capitalize the first letter in each word of a sentence. The Bonfire calls this one the Title Case a Sentence exercise. Like always, we’ll start this one off by visualizing it without code–basically writing pseudo code to lay out the steps for how we’re going to approach this problem. Approaching the […]

We’re looking for the longest word in a string today and slowly getting more familiar with how to approach algorithms by breaking down problems in a human readable fashion. Remember in math tests when you would have to come up with equation to solve a word problem? Those typically went something like: “Jack has two […]

We’re going to check for palindromes today for one of our Bonfire challenges. This is something I haven’t done yet. I have two solutions this time. The first relies on pre-existing methods. The second is a for loop. Approaching the Problem Let’s first take a look at what we’re given. function palindrome(str) {   // […]

It seems my previous Bonfire post has been fairly popular, so I figured I might as well share some of my other solutions in case someone might find it useful. This time, I’m tackling the Bonfire prior to the Factorializing one. These solutions aren’t necessarily the best, most efficient way of solving the Bonfires. They’re […]
