👩‍💻 Technical question

What is nodejs

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.2 seconds

Node.js is an open-source server-side runtime environment that allows developers to run JavaScript on the server. It uses the V8 JavaScript engine, which is the same engine that powers Google Chrome. With Node.js, developers can build scalable and efficient web applications, server-side APIs, and server-side scripts. It provides a rich set of modules and libraries that make it easy to handle network connections, file systems, databases, and other functionalities commonly used in web development.

Here is the official website of Node.js: https://nodejs.org/

Example code in JavaScript using Node.js:

javascript
Copy code
// Hello world example in Node.js console.log("Hello, World!");

How to report bug to a programmer

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.42 seconds

To report a bug to a programmer, you can follow these steps:

  1. Reproduce the bug: Try to reproduce the bug or error you experienced so that you can give specific steps to help the programmer understand the issue.

  2. Document the bug: Document the steps you took that led to the error or bug.

  3. Provide context: Provide context on the operating system, software version used, browser version used, or any other relevant details.

  4. Describe the problem: Describe the problem clearly and concisely, so the developer can understand what's happening.

  5. Submit a bug report: Submit a bug report through the software's bug reporting system, filling out as much detail as possible about the problem.

Here is an example of a bug report format:

Title: [Short title describing the bug]

Steps to reproduce:

  1. [First step]
  2. [Second step]
  3. [and so on...]

Expected behavior: [What you expected to happen]

Actual behavior: [What actually happened]

Environment details:

  • Operating System: [OS version]
  • Browser: [Browser name and version]
  • Software version: [Software version number]

By providing a detailed bug report, the programmer will most likely be able to solve the problem more efficiently.

👩‍💻 Technical question

What is Node.js, its features, and how it works

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.23 seconds

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment that allows developers to run JavaScript code outside of a web browser.

Some of the features of Node.js include:

  • Asynchronous and event-driven: It uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, making it ideal for building scalable network applications.
  • Fast: Being built on top of Google's V8 JavaScript engine, Node.js is very fast in code execution.
  • Single-threaded: Node.js uses a single-threaded model with event looping which enables it to handle a large amount of incoming connections, making it highly scalable.
  • Large module library: Node.js has a large library of modules written by other developers that can be easily integrated into your project.

Node.js works by running JavaScript code outside of the web browser environment, instead using the V8 JavaScript engine to execute the code. It reads the JavaScript file, executes the code, and returns the result.

Here's an example of a basic HTTP server in Node.js:

javascript
Copy code
const http = require('http'); const hostname = '127.0.0.1'; const port = 3000; const server = http.createServer((req, res) => { res.statusCode = 200; res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain'); res.end('Hello, world!'); }); server.listen(port, hostname, () => { console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`); });

This code creates an HTTP server that listens for incoming requests on port 3000. When a request is received, it responds with a plain text message of "Hello, world!".

👩‍💻 Technical question

What is closure in javascript

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 19.66 seconds

A closure in JavaScript is a special type of objects that combines a function and the lexical environment within which the function was declared. Closures are created every time a function is created and allow the inner function to access variables from an outer (enclosing) function even after the outer function has returned. This allows for the creation of functions that have persistent lexical environments and for the creation of powerful programming patterns such as the module pattern.

For example:

javascript
Copy code
function outerFunction(){ let a = 1; let b = 2; function innerFunction(){ let c = 3; //The innerFunction has access to the variables a and b of the outerFunction, even after the outerFunction has already returned console.log(a, b, c); } return innerFunction; } let innerFunction = outerFunction(); innerFunction(); //will print '1 2 3'

What is Node.js

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.22 seconds

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser. Node.js lets developers use JavaScript to write command line tools and for server-side scripting running scripts server-side to produce dynamic web page content before the page is sent to the user's web browser. Node.js is used for application development and automating tasks.

Asked 2 years ago in CSS by Joana

how to avoid sand code box from running a code without asking

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 11.1 seconds

You can prevent the Sandbox from running code without prompting you first by setting the environment variable SANDBOX_DISABLE_AUTO_RUN.

You can do this by adding the following line of code to .bash_profile, .bashrc or .zshrc:

code
Copy code
export SANDBOX_DISABLE_AUTO_RUN=1

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.

SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯

SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?

Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!

SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.

For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃

You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.

Here are some examples:

- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?

- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?

- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]

For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.

In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!

Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪

Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.

- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).

- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.

- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃

Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.

Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍

Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.

So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩‍💻🤝💻
