FizzBuzz
Source code:
for (let i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {

if (i % 3 === 0 && i % 5 === 0) {
console.log('FizzBuzz');
} else if (i % 3 === 0) {
console.log('Fizz');
} else if (i % 5 === 0) {
console.log('Buzz');
} else {
console.log(i);
}
}
Explanation:
The FizzBuzz exercise involves iterating from 1 to 100 and
printing out "Fizz" for multiples of 3, "Buzz" for multiples of 5,
and "FizzBuzz" for multiples of both 3 and 5. We can use the
modulus operator to check if a number is a multiple of another
number, and use if/else statements to determine what to print.

Palindrome checker
Source code:
function isPalindrome(str) {
const len = str.length;
for (let i = 0; i < len / 2; i++) {
if (str[i] !== str[len - 1 - i]) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
console.log(isPalindrome('racecar')); // true
console.log(isPalindrome('hello')); // false
Explanation:
The palindrome checker exercise involves writing a function that
checks if a given string is a palindrome. We can iterate over the
first half of the string and compare each character to the
corresponding character from the end of the string. If any
characters don't match, we can return false. If we get through
the entire loop without finding any mismatches, we can return
true.
Hangman game
Source code:
const words = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry',

'dragonfruit', 'elderberry'];
function getRandomWord() {

3
const index = Math.floor(Math.random() *

words.length);
return words[index];
}
function hideWord(word) {
let hiddenWord = '';
for (let i = 0; i < word.length; i++) {
hiddenWord += '_';
}
return hiddenWord;
}
function playHangman() {
const word = getRandomWord();
let hiddenWord = hideWord(word);
let remainingGuesses = 6;
while (remainingGuesses > 0) {
console.log(`Word: ${hiddenWord}`);
console.log(`Guesses remaining:
${remainingGuesses}`);
const guess = prompt('Guess a letter:');
if (!word.includes(guess)) {
remainingGuesses--;
}
for (let i = 0; i < word.length; i++) {
if (word[i] === guess) {
hiddenWord = hiddenWord.slice(0, i) + guess +
hiddenWord.slice(i + 1);
}
}
if (hiddenWord === word) {

4
console.log(`You win! The word was ${word}`);

return;
}
}
console.log(`You lose! The word was ${word}`);
}
playHangman();
Explanation:
The hangman game exercise involves creating a simple game
where the computer chooses a random word and the player has
to guess the letters of the word before running out of guesses.
We can use an array of words to choose from, and prompt the
user for their guesses. We can keep track of the remaining
guesses and update the hidden word as the user guesses correct
letters.
Shopping cart
Source code:
const products = [ { name: 'Apple', price: 1.99 }, {

name: 'Banana', price: 0.99 }, { name: 'Cherry',
price: 2.99 }, { name: 'Dragonfruit', price: 4.99 },
{ name: 'Elderberry', price: 3.99 },];
function addToCart(cart, product) {

cart.push(product);
}
function removeFromCart(cart, productName) {

5
const index = cart.findIndex(item => item.name ===

productName);
if (index >= 0) {
cart.splice(index, 1);
}
}
function calculateTotal(cart) {
let total = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < cart.length; i++) {
total += cart[i].price;
}
return total.toFixed(2);
}
const shoppingCart = [];

addToCart(shoppingCart, products[0]);
console.log(shoppingCart);
removeFromCart(shoppingCart, 'Banana');
console.log(shoppingCart);
console.log(`Total: $${calculateTotal(shoppingCart)}`);
Explanation:
The shopping cart exercise involves creating a program that
allows the user to add and remove items from their cart, calculate
the total price, and apply discounts or coupons. We can use an
array to represent the shopping cart, and objects to represent the
products. We can define functions for adding and removing items
from the cart, and for calculating the total price by iterating over
the cart array and adding up the prices of the items. We can also

6
use the toFixed method to ensure that the total is displayed with
two decimal places.
Typing speed test

Source code:
const paragraph = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the

lazy dog';
let startTime;
let endTime;
function startTest() {
startTime = Date.now();
document.getElementById('prompt').innerHTML =
paragraph;
document.getElementById('input').addEventListener('inpu
t', checkInput);
}
function checkInput() {
const typedText =
document.getElementById('input').value;
if (typedText === paragraph) {
endTime = Date.now();
const totalTime = (endTime - startTime) / 1000;
const speed = Math.round(paragraph.length /
totalTime);
document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = `You
typed at a speed of ${speed} characters per second!`;

7
document.getElementById('input').removeEventListener('i
nput', checkInput);
}
}
document.getElementById('start-button').addEventListene
r('click', startTest);
Explanation:
The typing speed test exercise involves creating a program that
measures the user's typing speed by having them type a given
paragraph as quickly and accurately as possible. We can use
HTML and CSS to create a simple user interface with a start
button, a prompt to type, an input field to type into, and a result
section to display the user's speed. We can use the Date.now()
method to record the start and end times of the test, and the
addEventListener method to listen for input events in the input
field. We can then compare the typed text to the prompt text and
calculate the speed by dividing the length of the prompt by the
total time in seconds. Finally, we can update the result section
with the user's speed and remove the event listener to stop
listening for input events.
