Hello, Thursday
The Fibonacci function has me perplexed. There are so many examples available online that I’m unsure whether I should simply follow those or attempt to code it from scratch and see if that yields results. I realize my thoughts may seem a bit unclear at the moment; that’s just how my mind is working today….
Hoping for rain
I have spent my morning figuring out how to write a function that returns an array containing the first ‘n’ Fibonacci numbers. I found out what I need to do: Initialize an empty array. If n is 1, return [0] (since the first Fibonacci number is 0). If n is 2, return [0, 1]. Otherwise,…
Another coding day
I’ve just had my second cup of coffee. I’m trying to figure out how to write a function that checks if a word is a palindrome. This is what I have so far: function isPalindrome(str) { // Convert string to lowercase and remove non-alphanumeric characters let cleanStr = str.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]/g, “”); } In the context of…
Not-so-manic Monday
You might expect that I’d have more to write about on a Monday since I take breaks from writing over the weekend, but surprisingly, I don’t have much. Karissa’s glasses just broke; the arm snapped right off. They’re only two years old. I suggested she schedule an eye appointment to see if she needs a…
Friday eve
I’m currently working on a JavaScript function to duplicate values from an array and return a new array. Tommy provided me with some useful advice, so I hope to gain a better understanding of this. After some research, I discovered that JavaScript has a `Set()` method designed specifically to remove duplicate values from an array….
Coding day
I shouldn’t have a book on my desk during the day when I should be focused on coding, as I often find myself distracted by reading. To avoid this temptation, I’ve decided to keep my book in the bedroom. I’m nearly finished with “Race Across Alaska.” Recently, I attempted to place a book on hold…
JavaScript and Belfast
Today I learned a few new things in coding. First, how to find the second largest number in an array: function secondLargest(arr) { if (arr.length < 2) return null; let largest = -Infinity, second = -Infinity; for (let num of arr) { if (num > largest) { …
A quiet Monday
Happy Monday! This morning, I’m feeling a bit uncertain about what to write. I’ve already had breakfast, taken a shower, and organized the pill boxes for both Tommy and myself. Last weekend was quite laid-back; Tommy wasn’t feeling his best due to his ear infection, so we opted to stay home and enjoy some time…
A rainy Friday
Happy Friday! Merlin is with Tommy at work today. I often feel stressed when Tommy takes Merlin along, as Merlin can be quite high maintenance, making it challenging for Tommy to focus on his tasks. It appears that Merlin is having a rough day; he’s been standoffish and aggressive. Tommy has called Kel to come…
