#Null-Conditional Operators in Template Expressions

[codemerything]

A structured way to learn JavaScript.

I came across a post on Twitter that I thought would be helpful to share with those who are struggling to find a structured way to learn Javascript on their own. Personally, I wish I had access to this information when I first started learning in January. However, I am grateful for my learning journey so far, as I have covered most topics, albeit in a less structured manner.

N/B: Not everyone learns in the same way; it's important to find what works for you. This is a guide, not a rulebook.

EASY

What is JavaScript and its role in web development?

Brief history and evolution of JavaScript.

Basic syntax and structure of JavaScript code.

Understanding variables, constants, and their declaration.

Data types: numbers, strings, boolean, and null/undefined.

Arithmetic, assignment, comparison, and logical operators.

Combining operators to create expressions.

Conditional statements (if, else if, else) for decision making.

Loops (for, while) for repetitive tasks. - Switch statements for multiple conditional cases.

MEDIUM

Defining functions, including parameters and return values.

Function scope, closures, and their practical applications.

Creating and manipulating arrays.

Working with objects, properties, and methods.

Iterating through arrays and objects.Understanding the Document Object Model (DOM).

Selecting and modifying HTML elements with JavaScript.Handling events (click, submit, etc.) with event listeners.

Using try-catch blocks to handle exceptions.

Common error types and debugging techniques.

HARD

Callback functions and their limitations.

Dealing with asynchronous operations, such as AJAX requests.

Promises for handling asynchronous operations.

Async/await for cleaner asynchronous code.

Arrow functions for concise function syntax.

Template literals for flexible string interpolation.

Destructuring for unpacking values from arrays and objects.

Spread/rest operators.

Design Patterns.

Writing unit tests with testing frameworks.

Code optimization techniques.

That's it I guess!

300+ TOP COGNOS ReportNet Interview Questions and Answers

COGNOS ReportNet Interview Questions for freshers experienced :-

1. What is the main advantage of impromptu over cognos reportnet? One of the advantage's of Reportnet, is 1. It is web-based reporting wherein, reports can be easily accessed from anywhere through a browser. by using ipromptu we can use multidimensional analysis to see the data in diff formates.i.e we have drillup,drilldown features in cognos impromtu,but it is not possible in reportnet. 2. What is the difference between Native SQL and Cognos SQL? In cognos reportnet Native SQL is used for the single datasource to import the meta data Cognos SQL used for multiple datasources to import the metadata 3. What is the Difference between PowerPlay transformer and power play reports? 'Powerplay transformer' is an 'MOLAP' tool using which one can create multi dimensional structure called "CUBE". 'Powerplay for reports' is used to generate report from the cube.Only one report can be generated from one cube.If u want 'n' reports u must create 'n' cubes. 4. Is there any comparison available for Cognos Reportnet Vs Crystal reports? There is a lot of difference between Crystal reports an Cognos Report net. Crystal report is a product of Business Objects where as Reportnet is of cognos. Cryatal reports is for only low 2 midrange analysis and that to some even says tha they wont use this for analysis used to make proper strategic decision But report net yes it is for high end analysis. In reportnet we can login through web and can create our own desired report through web. 5. How do i allow a dynamic selection of a column for a measure in a chart,without using Variable You can in do it in this way. first creat a list report in which u have a calculated item in the starting. Then creat a prompt page with a value prompt.In value prompt creat static choice of which u want to be dynamically displayed. Let the parameter of value prompt be ?Par1? and the choices as Revenue, Cost. Now u write the expression of the calculated item in the report page as follows, "If ?Par1?=Revenue then Revenue else Cost. Here Revenue,Cost should b dragged from the Model Items. So now the calculated item column displays the value of the one selected in the prompt. Now make a graph using the list report,then place the calculated item on the axis of the chart ,which u wanted to display dynamically based on ur selection. So now if u select Revenue in the prompt then the grph will take the values for Revenue.And if u select Cost then graph will be with the values of Cost. 6. How do we drill through from a powerplay cube to reportnet? Setting up drill-through access from PowerPlay Web to ReportNet involves configuring Cognos Series 7 for drill-through access to ReportNet preparing the Transformer model and cube copying the search path of the folder that contains the target report enabling the cube for drill-through access to ReportNet deciding which filters to create in the target report creating the target report disabling the Drill Through Assistant 7. What are versions of reportnet? In ReprotNet have two vertions ReportNet 1.0 ReportNet 1.1 MR1, MR2 8. What is prompt?types of prompts?use of prompts?syntax of prompt? Prompts act as questions that help users to customize the information in a report to suit their own needs.The different types of Prompt are Value prompt Text Prompt Date prompt Time prompt Date and time prompt Using prompts is faster and easier than repeatedly changing the filter. Cognos Report Studio provides several ways to create prompts. You can use the Build Prompt Page tool build your own prompt and prompt page create a parameter to produce a prompt create a Prompt directly in a report page 9. What is difference between qurry studio and report studio? Query Studio: Used to create Ad-hoc (or) simple reports. It does not provide any pre-defined report templates. It directly displays data (without running the report) when we insert attributes in the report. Report Studio: Used to create complex reports. It provides pre-defined report templates. It does not display the data directly in the report. We need to run the report to display the data. 10. What are components of report studio? Componenets of Report Studio: Insertable Objects pane. Properties pane. Explorer bar - Conditional Explorer, Query Explorer, Page Explorer. Report Viewer - Workarea, Report Layout Objects.

COGNOS ReportNet Interview Questions 11. What are necessary tasks to install reportnet software You need to do the following for a standard installation process: Verify your system requirements like RAM Minimum: 512 MB, a Web server installed and started Review the ReportNet default settings like default ReportNet ports and URI settings. Create the database for the content store which means you must create the database that is used for the content store using either Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, or DB2 UDB. ReportNet uses this database to store, organize, and retrieve information. Install ReportNet: Use the installation wizard to select the components you want to install and the location on your computer where you want to install them. Set up the database client for the content store (Oracle and DB2): If you use Oracle or DB2 as the database server for the content store, additional steps are required after you install ReportNet before you can configure ReportNet. you need to go to the 6th step only when installing on UNIX. For Windows above 5 steps are good. Update Your Java Environment: Before you can use the cryptographic operations, such as data encryption and key management, implemented by ReportNet, you must check that the required JAR (Java Archive) files are present in your Java Runtime Environment (JRE). 12. What are components of reportnet? ReportNet has a three-tier architecture, namely, (1) Web server (2) Applications and (3) Data. The tiers are based on business function, and are typically separated by firewalls. ReportNet user interfaces sit above the tiers.ReportNet user interfaces include (a) Web-based Cognos Connection, Cognos Report Studio, and Query Studio (b) Windows-based Framework Manager 13. How do we provide security in frame work manager for a query subject? procedure for providing security for query subject in frame work manager is: select querysubject -> in properties pane select ->security filters(click on edit)a specify data security wizard appears->click on add groups -> cognosnamesspace(select users and groups wizard opens) 14. I want to display zero when null values coming to report how can I do that? You can follow this procedure :- Lets assume revenue is the field in which we have to display null values as 0. First create a calculated item and Then write the expression of the cal item using If Then Else construct as If (Revenue is null) Then ('0') Else(Revenue) I think u can easily understand this. Now u can see that the null values r displayed as '0' in the calculated item. Select the data item in which you want to replace null with 0 .Go to Properties pane, Click Data Format, in this put 0 in Missing value Characters. 15. How can i create prompts in report net Prompts is mean by the end user can be filter the data. you can open the explore bar and added the new prompts page, And enter the new name. you go to tool menu and track prompts button you select prompts and then ok 16. Difference between filter and conditin The difference between Filter and Condition:Condition returns true or false Ex: if Country = 'India' then ...Filter will return two types of results1.Detail information which is equal to where clause in SQL statement2.Summary information which is equal to Group by and Having clause in SQL statement 17. Can report net connect multiple datasource at a time in report creation time Yes it can connect multiple datasources at a time when the frame work manager has the metta data regarding that datasources. 18. How can i test report in reportnet If we wanna test the report in report net, first we can intially check by validating it in the report page. After that we can test the out put of the report Using a sql anlyser and sql query.so here we will be comparing the sql analyzer output with the output of the report viewer. 19. What are the various file formats involved in reportnet? It has six (6) formats in report net. They are HTML, PDF, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, CSV, and XML format. We can see the types of formats in the report viewer on the right side . 20. How to generate IQD file from framework manager Create a Query Subject, from the properties pane select externalise,there we have 4 options in that select IQD 21. What is meant by Junk Dimension? The junk dimension is simply a structure that provides a convenient place to store the junk attributes".It's randomly used dimension. 22. what are semi and non additive measures.. 1.Semi-Additive: Semi-additive facts are facts that can be summed up for some of the dimensions in the fact table, but not the others. 2.Non-Additive: Non-additive facts are facts that cannot be summed up for any of the dimensions present in the fact table. Current Balance and Profit Margin are the facts. Current Balance is a semi-additive fact, as it makes sense to add them up for all accounts (what's the total current balance for all accounts in the bank?), but it does not make sense to add them up through time (adding up all current balances for a given account for each day of the month does not give us any useful information). Profit Margin is a non-additive fact, for it does not make sense to add them up for the account level or the day level. 23. What is catalog and types of catalogs in cagonos and which is better? catalog is a data base and also frient hand data base. types of catalog is 4 tyes personal secured shared distributed 24. what is difference between PAGE BREAK and Section Report? Section-section is eliminate the duplicate recod.but report looking separate bluck.setpagebreak means to display the reports in onepage. eg. suppose u create a list report ordermethod,orderyear,revenue when u create section on ordermethod.it will eliminate the duplicate record.but when u apply the set pagebreakc.report display in onepage.like fax reports in onepage,email reports in another page.this in cognos 8 querystudio.But in report studio you can do using propetispan. 25. use this query i am retriving all years OCt data from 01-10-2004 to 30-10-2007 i need to restrect this query to current date and current year ..between 01 and to_number(to_char(current_date,'MM'))and ..=to_number(to_char(current_date,'MM')) pass polar ID A.You have a function called 'extract' in cognos. Ex:- extract(month,the dte field). by giving like this you will get month. so you can keep a filter to restrict the rows only for october.

Understanding JSX for StencilJS Applications

When building StencilJS applications (whether you are using Ionic with it or not) you will be using JSX to create the templates for your components. JSX is a syntax extension to standard ECMAScript (JavaScript) that adds additional XML style syntax. It was created by Facebook and popularised by its usage in the React framework, but JSX can be used outside of React - which is obviously the case for StencilJS.

In over-simplified terms, JSX allows you to mix HTML with JavaScript. If you’ve never used it, it’s definitely one of those kind of things that feels a little weird to get used to at first. The purpose of this article is to introduce you to the basics of JSX and how it would be used in StencilJS application, to help get you over that initial confusion hump.

Since many of the readers of this blog will already be familiar with Angular, I will make some references and comparisons to Angular throughout this article. However, if you are not familiar with Angular you will still be able to read the article (just ignore the references).

If you haven’t already been using something like React to build applications, then chances are you would be used to defining standard-looking HTML files to contain your template e.g:

my-template.html

<div> <p>Hello</p> </div>

Or if you were defining templates inside of your JavaScript/TypeScript files then you would typically define a template string like this:

template: ` <div> <p>Hello</p> </div> `

Either way, we are just using standard syntax in these cases. However, when you start using JSX, you will also be defining your templates inside of your JavaScript/TypeScript files but it will look something like this:

render() { return <div><p>Hello</p></div>; }

or this:

render(){ return ( <div> <p>Hello</p> </div> ) }

and maybe you even have some variables defined with HTML syntax attached to them:

const myMessage = <p>Welcome to my app!</p>

If you’ve never used JSX then the examples above look like they would cause a bunch of syntax errors. We aren’t defining HTML inside of strings, we are just straight-up writing HTML inside of a JavaScript/TypeScript file. But, mixing HTML and JavaScript like this is exactly what JSX allows.

We are going to go through some examples that cover the basics of how to use JSX. Although this is in the context of a StencilJS application, the same concepts apply to JSX as a general concept.

A Basic Template

When building an application with StencilJS, we will have various components that make up our application. These components will each define a render function that specifies the template.

The render function simply needs to return the template, which will use JSX, that the component should use. This will look something like this:

import { Component } from '@stencil/core'; @Component({ tag: 'app-profile', styleUrl: 'app-profile.css' }) export class AppProfile { render(){ return ( <div> <p>Hello</p> </div> ) } }

The render function should return the JSX template, but it is also possible to add additional code inside of the render function (which could be utilised inside of the JSX template):

import { Component } from '@stencil/core'; @Component({ tag: 'app-test', styleUrl: 'app-test.css' }) export class AppTest { const myMessage = <p>Welcome to my app!</p>; render(){ return ( <div> <p>{myMessage}</p> </div> ) } }

Returning Multiple Root Nodes

The render function must return a single root node, that means that this is will work:

return ( <div></div> )

and this will work:

return ( <div> <p>Hello</p> <div> <p>there.</p> </div> </div> )

but this will not:

return ( <div>Root one</div> <div>Root two</div> )

To address this scenario you can either wrap the two nodes inside of a single node:

return ( <div> <div>Root one</div> <div>Root two</div> </div> )

or you can return an array of nodes like this:

return ([ <div>Root one</div>, <div>Root two</div> ])

Notice the use of square brackets to create an array, and that each node is followed by a comma as in an array. Although it may look a little strange to use HTML syntax in an array like this, it is the same idea as doing this:

return [ 'array element 1', 'array relement 2' ]

Expressions

Expressions allow us to do things like execute logic inside of our templates or render out a variable to display on the screen. If you are coming from an Angular background, the idea is basically the same as interpolations with double curly braces, except that we just use a single curly brace like this:

render(){ return ( <div> <p>{ 1 + 1 }</p> </div> ) }

This example would execute the 1 + 1 operation, and display the result inside of the paragraph tag. In this case, it would therefore render the following out to the DOM:

<div> <p>2</p> </div>

We could also use expressions to make function calls:

calculateAddition(one, two){ return one + two; } render(){ return ( <div> <p>{this.calculateAddition(1,5)}</p> </div> ) }

Render out local or class member variables:

public myNumber: number = 1; render(){ const message = <p>Hi</p>; return ( <div> <p>{message}</p> <p>{this.myNumber}</p> </div> ) }

and much more, some of which we will touch on later. A difference you might notice here if you are coming from an Angular background is that inside of the curly braces we need to reference the this scope in order to access the member variable, which isn’t the case with Angular templates.

Styles

If you attempt to add a style to an element in JSX like this:

render(){ return ( <div style="background-color: #f6f6f6; padding: 20px;"> <p>Hello</p> </div> ) }

You will be met with an error that reads something like this:

Type 'string' is not assignable to type '{ [key: string]: string; }'.

But what’s the deal with that? Aren’t we allowed to use HTML syntax? Not quite, there are a few differences. With JSX, inline styles must be supplied as an object, where the properties of that object define the styles you want:

render(){ return ( <div style={{ backgroundColor: `#f6f6f6`, padding: `20px` }}> <p>Hello</p> </div> ) }

We are assigning an expression (which we just discussed) to style that contains an object representing our style properties. You will notice that we are using camelCase - so instead of using the usual hyphenated properties like background-color or list-style-type we would use backgroundColor and listStyleType.

Conditional Templates

There are different ways to achieve conditionally displaying data/elements with JSX, so let’s take a look at a few. We covered before how you could make a function call inside of an expression in your template, and that is one way that you could conditionally display an element:

import { Component } from '@stencil/core'; @Component({ tag: 'app-test', styleUrl: 'app-test.css' }) export class AppTest { private loggedIn: boolean = false; getWelcomeMessage(){ if(this.loggedIn){ return 'Welcome back!'; } else { return 'Please log in'; } } render(){ return ( <div> <p>{this.getWelcomeMessage()}</p> </div> ) } }

You could also achieve the same effect by building some logic directly into the expression in the template, rather than having a separate function:

render(){ return ( <div> <p>{this.loggedIn ? 'Welcome back!' : 'Please log in.'}</p> </div> ) }

You could render entirely different chunks of your template using if/else statements:

import { Component } from '@stencil/core'; @Component({ tag: 'app-test', styleUrl: 'app-test.css' }) export class AppTest { private loggedIn: boolean = false; render(){ if(this.loggedIn){ return ( <div> <p>Welcome back!</p> </div> ) } else { return ( <div> <p>Please log in.</p> </div> ) } } }

You can completely remove any rendering to the DOM by returning null instead of an element:

import { Component } from '@stencil/core'; @Component({ tag: 'app-test', styleUrl: 'app-test.css' }) export class AppTest { private loggedIn: boolean = false; render(){ if(this.loggedIn){ return ( <div> <p>Welcome back!</p> </div> ) } else { return null } } }

If you don’t want to return entirely different templates depending on some condition (this could get messy in some cases) you could also render entirely different chunks just by using a ternary operator inside of your template like this:

import { Component } from '@stencil/core'; @Component({ tag: 'app-test', styleUrl: 'app-test.css' }) export class AppTest { private loggedIn: boolean = false; render(){ return ( <div> { this.loggedIn ? <div> <h2>Hello</h2> <p>This is a message</p> </div> : <div> <h2>Hello</h2> <p>This is a different message</p> </div> } </div> ) } }

If you aren’t familiar with the ternary operator, we are basically just looking at this:

this.loggedIn ? 'logged in' : 'not logged in';

which is a simplified version of:

if(this.loggedIn){ return 'logged in'; } else { return 'not logged in'; }

We can also simplify the ternary operator more if we don’t care about the else case. For example, if we only wanted to show a message to a user who was logged in, but we didn’t care about showing anything to a user who isn’t, we could use this syntax:

import { Component } from '@stencil/core'; @Component({ tag: 'app-test', styleUrl: 'app-test.css' }) export class AppTest { private loggedIn: boolean = true; render(){ return ( <div> { this.loggedIn && <div> <h2>Hello</h2> <p>This is a message</p> </div> } </div> ) } }

This will only render out the message if loggedIn is true. The methods I have mentioned here should be enough to cover most circumstances, but there are still even more you can use. It’s a good idea to have a bit of a search around and see what kinds of methods suit you best.

Looping over Data

We will often want to create templates dynamically based on some array of data like an array of todos or posts and so on. In Angular, this is where you would use an *ngFor structural directive to loop over that data. However, with StencilJS and JSX we once again just use standard JavaScript syntax/logic embedded directly into the template.

We can use the map method on an array of data to loop through the data and render out a part of the template for each iteration. Let’s take a look at an example from the documentation:

render() { return ( <div> {this.todos.map((todo) => <div> <div>{todo.taskName}</div> <div>{todo.isCompleted}</div> </div> )} </div> ) }

In this example, we would have a class member named todos that we are looping over. For each todo we will render this out to the DOM:

<div> <div>{todo.taskName}</div> <div>{todo.isCompleted}</div> </div>

The {todo.taskName} and {todo.isCompleted} expressions used here will be executed and the values for the paticular todo in that iteration of the map method will be used.

In order for StencilJS to be able to perform as efficiently as possible, it is important that if you intend to change this data (e.g. you can add/remove todos) that you give each todo that is rendered out a unique key property. You can attach that key to the root node of whatever you are rendering out for each iteration, e.g:

render() { return ( <div> {this.todos.map((todo) => <div key={todo.id}> <div>{todo.taskName}</div> <div>{todo.isCompleted}</div> </div> )} </div> ) }

Event Binding

The last thing we are going to cover is event binding, which we will use mostly to handle users clicking on buttons or other elements. We can handle DOM events by binding to properties like onClick. For example, if we wanted to run a method that we created called handleClick() when the user clicks a button we might do something like this:

<ion-button onClick={this.handleClick(event)}>Click me</ion-button>

This is fine, and would invoke our handleClick method, but the downside of this approach is that it won’t maintain the scope of this. That means that if you were to try to reference a member variable like this.loggedIn inside of your handleClick method it wouldn’t work.

You can solve this issue in either of the following ways. You could manually bind the function to the correct scope like this:

<ion-button onClick={this.handleClick(event).bind(this)}>Click me</ion-button>

or you could use an arrow function like this (which is the more popular approach):

<ion-button onClick={(event) => this.handleClick(event)}>Click me</ion-button>

As well as onClick you can also bind to other DOM events like onChange and onSubmit. If you are using Ionic, then you could also bind to any of the events that the Ionic web components emit.

Summary

As always, there is still much to learn. However, the concepts we have covered in this article should be enough to get you started with JSX and get you used to the initial oddities of using JSX.

For further learning, I would recommend reading the JSX section in the StencilJS documentation as well as the React documentation for JSX. Not all of the React documentation will apply to StencilJS, but it is a good way to gain a broader understanding of JSX in general.

Kotlin – Modern Multi platform Android App Development

When you invent about Android App development, odds are one programming language instantly springs to mind: Java.

While it’s valid that the greater part of Android applications is composed in Java, with regards to Android app development, Java isn’t your solitary choice.

You can compose Android applications in any language that can assemble and keep running on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and your end clients will be unaware. What’s more, one JVM-good programming language that is truly taken the eye of the Android association is Kotlin, a statically written programming language from JetBrains.

If you’ve heard great things about Kotlin and are occupied with attempting it for yourself, at that point you’re in the correct place. In this three-section arrangement, I will share all that you have to know so as to begin utilizing Kotlin for Android development.

Kotlin is now an official language on Android. It’s expressive, compact, and powerful. Best of all, it’s interoperable with our current Android languages and runtime. Google has officially announced Kotlin as a first class language for Android.

Modern. Expressive. Safe.

It contains security features for nullability and immutability, to make your Android apps strong and performant by default.

Kotlin is the first of its kind statically wrote programming language that can be utilized for building current multi-stage applications.

Java has been the essential language for Android app development until the point when Kotlin appeared. After the coming of Kotlin, it is out of line to state ‘Java is the main or rather the best decision for development’.

For what reason Should ‘Kotlin’ be Android app Developer’s Choice?

Designers who have officially changed from Java to Kotlin to program applications would know how it is superior to Java. Kotlin app development has risen as a developing selection of organizations needing to construct one of a kind applications. Created by JetBrains, this programming language is even-minded and compact, which makes coding a fantastic affair for designers.

Our hire dedicated programmers loved to build the best apps and it’s their dedication. we can help you to build the best website and mobile app for Android and iPhone. we are providing the best web application at affordable prices. Our hire Android Apps Developers are experts in standard software technologies and utilize many different development tools to design productive and user-friendly Android applications for Android smartphones and tablets.

Given underneath are an arrangement of highlights that clarify why designers ought to settle on Kotlin:

Java Interoperability

Familiar Syntax

Less Coding

Ease of Learning

Concise Coding

Safety

Free to Use

Tool-friendly

What Java has that Kotlin does not

Checked exceptions

Ternary Operations

Java

String text = x > 5 ? "x > 5" : "x <= 5"; String message = null; log(message != null ? message : "");

Kotlin

val text = if (x > 5)              "x > 5"           else "x <= 5" val message: String? = null log(message ?: "")

Logical Operators

Java

final int andResult  = a & b; final int orResult   = a | b; final int xorResult  = a ^ b; final int rightShift = a >> 2; final int leftShift  = a << 2; final int unsignedRightShift = a >>> 2;

Kotlin

val andResult  = a and b val orResult   = a or b val xorResult  = a xor b val rightShift = a shr 2 val leftShift  = a shl 2 val unsignedRightShift = a ushr 2

Check the type and casting

Java

if (object instanceof Car) { } Car car = (Car) object;

Kotlin

if (object is Car) { } var car = object as Car // if object is null var car = object as? Car // var car = object as Car?

Learn Computer Science With JavaScript: Part 1, The Basics

Introduction

JavaScript is a language that we can use to write programs that run in a browser or on a server using Node. Because of Node, you can use JavaScript to build full web applications like Twitter or games like Agar.io.  

This is the first lesson in a four-part series where I will teach you the programming fundamentals you will need so you can learn to build your own apps. In part 1, I will introduce you to the syntax of JavaScript and ES6. ES6 stands for ECMAScript 6, which is a version of JavaScript.

Installation and Setup

First, we will set up our development environment so that we can run our code on our own computer. Alternatively, you can test code examples on an online editor like repl.it. I prefer you get started writing and running code on your computer so you can feel like a real programmer. Plus, I want you using Node so you can put it on your resume and impress your employer.  

First, you will need a text editor to write your code in. I recommend Sublime Text. Next, download and install Node to your computer. You can get the software on the Node.js website. Confirm the installation worked by typing the command node -v from your terminal. If everything is fine, you will see the version number of your Node installation. 

One of the things you can do with Node is run JavaScript code from within your terminal. This takes place in what is called a REPL. To try it out, enter the command node in your terminal. 

Next, let's print the message “Hello, World”. Type the following into the terminal:

> console.log("Hello, World");

To exit the REPL, press Control-C twice. Using the REPL comes in handy when you want to test simple statements like the example above. This can prove more convenient than saving code to a file—especially if you’re writing throwaway code. 

To execute a program you have written in a file, in your terminal run the command node filename, where filename is replaced with the name of your JavaScript file. You do not have to type the js extension of the filename to run the script. And you must be in the root directory where the file lives.

Let’s try an example. Create a file named hello.js. Inside, we will put the following code:

console.log("Hello, World");

Run the code from the terminal:

$ node hello

If all is well, you will see the text "Hello, World" output to the terminal. From now on, you can test the code examples from this tutorial either by using the Node REPL or by saving to a file.  

Designing a Program

Before you write any code, you should take the time to understand the problem. What data do you need? What is the outcome? What tests does your program need to pass? 

When you understand the requirements of the program, then you can write the steps to solve it. The steps are your algorithm. Your algorithm is not code. It is plain English (replace English with your native language) instructions for solving the problem. For example, if you want to write an algorithm for cooking top ramen, it might look like this:

Remove top from cup.

Empty seasoning pack into cup.

Fill cup with water.

Microwave on high for 2 minutes.

Cool for 1 minute.

Yes, I was hungry when I thought of this. And no, this is not something you would actually be given as a programming problem. Here is an example of a problem that is more practical. It is an algorithm to calculate the average of a list of numbers.

Calculate the sum all of the numbers.

Get the total number of numbers.

Divide the sum by the total.

Return the result.

Understanding the problem and coming up with an algorithm are the most important steps in programming. When you feel confident in your algorithm, then you should write some test cases. The tests will show how your code should behave. Once you have your tests, then you write code and tweak it until your tests pass. Depending on how complex your problem is, each one of the steps in your algorithm may need to be broken down further.  

Task

Write an algorithm to calculate the factorial of a number. The factorial of a number *n* is the product of all integers from 1 to *n*. For example, 4! (4 factorial) is 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 = 24.  

Syntax

A program is similar to the language we speak with. The only difference is a programming language is meant to communicate with the computer (and other programmers who have to use it). The rules for constructing the program are its syntax. Programs consist of statements. A statement can be thought of as a sentence. In JavaScript, you must put a semicolon at the end of a statement. Example:

a = 2 + 2;

Statements consist of expressions. Expressions are like the subject/predicate parts of a sentence. In a programming language, expressions have a value. Expressions consist of keywords like var and for which are the built-in vocabulary of the language; data like a number or string; and operators like + and =. Example:

2+2

Here is a list of arithmetic operators:

+ - Addition

- - Subtraction 

* - Exponentiation

* - Multiplication

/ - Division

% - Remainder

++ - Increment

-- - Decrement

The remainder operator returns the remainder after dividing two numbers. For example, 4 % 2 returns 0, and 5 % 3 returns 2. The remainder operator is commonly used to find out if a value is even or odd. Even values will have a remainder 0.  

Task

Find the value of the following expressions. Write down your answers first, and then check them in your REPL.

9 % 3

3 % 9

3 % 6

3 % 4

3 % 3

3 % 2

Variables

A variable is a name that represents a value in the computer’s memory. Any value we would like to store or to use over and over should be placed in a variable. One way of creating variables is with the var keyword. But the preferred way is to use the let or const keywords. Here are some examples of using let to create variables:

Declaring a variable:

let a;

Declaring and initializing a variable:

let a = 1;

Reassigning a variable:

a = 2;

Constants are variables that cannot change. They can only be assigned once. Constants that have objects or arrays as values can still be modified because they are assigned by reference. The variables do not hold a value; instead, they point to the location of the object. Example:

const a = {foo:1,bar:2}; a.baz = 3; console.log( a ); // displays { foo: 1, bar: 2, baz: 3 }

However, this will give you an error:

const a = {foo:1,bar:2}; a = {}; console.log( a );

Data Types

Data types have rules for how they can be operated on. For example, if we add two numbers, we get their sum. But if we add a number with a string, we get a string. Here is a list of the different data types:

Undefined: a variable that has not been assigned a value

Null: no value

Boolean: an entity that has the value true or false

String: a sequence of characters

Symbol: a unique, unchanging key

Number: integer and decimal values

Object: a collection of properties

A string is a data type that consists of characters. A string will be surrounded with single quotes or double quotes. Strings also have methods you can use to perform actions on them. The following are some examples of actions you can perform on strings.

Determine if a string begins with a substring:

"Hello, World".startsWith("hello"); //true

Determine if a string ends with a substring:

"Hello, World".endsWith("World"); //true

Determine if a substring is located anywhere in a string:

"Hello, World".includes("World"); //true

Repeat a string a specified number of times:

"Hello".repeat(3); //HelloHelloHello

We can turn a string into an array with the spread operator: ...

let str = [..."hello"]; console.log(str); //[ 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o' ]

Template literals are a special kind of string that use backticks:��` `. We can use them to insert variables within a string like this:

let name = "World"; let greeting = `Hello, ${name}`; console.log(greeting); //Hello, World

We can create multiline strings like this:

` <div> <h1>Hello, World</h1> </div> `

Review

We have seen how to set up our development environment using Node. The first step to programming is writing the steps to solve the problem. This is called the algorithm. The actual code will consist of many statements. Statements are the program’s instructions and are made up of expressions. Expressions are useful in our program if we assign them to variables. Variables are created with the let or const keyword. 

In part 2, I will explain conditionals.
