Javascript - Testing a Condition to Determine the Output (Cont.)

 Testing a Condition to Determine the Output (Cont.)

Yesterday I didn't quite finish the whole exercise - I'm taking it all very slowly and making sure each small chunk is digested properly by my brain. One of my main problems is trying to do too much and becoming overwhelmed. Not a good idea for learning a programming language, or anything really for that matter.

Today I continued to learn about testing conditions. I'm confident with very basic if statements (if, else, if else) now and have today delved into using 'switch'. I've seen this used before but never really understood what's going on but I think I have a basic grasp now.

Next up is learning about basic loops. Now we are getting into territory I've not explored (told you I had a very basic knowledge!) so I am excited to be getting my teeth into something that will challenge my brain a bit.

The other plus to all this is that I'm slowly being able to type without looking at the keyboard which is a useful skill to have anyway...

Javascript - Testing a Condition to Determine the Output

Testing a Condition to Determine the Output

I'd write a welcome post, but it'd only get lost in the sea of eventual posts that will be coming and so I'll jump right in as if I've been doing this for years.

Today I started to learn about conditional testing in JS. This is a concept I'm familiar with but as I'm learning from scratch I want to refresh myself.

The road ahead seems quite daunting at the moment as I'm already having to constantly refer back to the Mozilla JS reference (a very handy resource, by the way). Having said that, I'm determined to plough ahead and become a great programmer and no longer be that guy who only knows enough code to get by without really understanding any of it.
