🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 1.21 seconds

In the context of computing, "alt" usually refers to the "Alt" key on a keyboard. The Alt key, or alternate key, is a modifier key used in combination with other keys to perform specific actions or enter special characters. For example, pressing the Alt key in combination with a letter or number key can trigger a keyboard shortcut or activate a menu option in an application.

how can I type degree symbpl?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.15 seconds

To type the degree symbol (°), you can usually press the "Alt" key and type "0176" on the numeric keypad. Make sure to use the numeric keypad (not the numbers at the top of the keyboard) and have "Num Lock" turned on. If your keyboard doesn't have a numeric keypad, you can also try holding down the "Alt" key and typing "248" on the regular keys.

Here is an example in JavaScript:

javascript
Copy code
const temperature = 25; console.log(`${temperature}°C`);

This will log "25°C" to the console, where the ° symbol is included using the Unicode character escape sequence.

2 sticks that represent OR on my keyboard

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 1.91 seconds

The two sticks that represent OR on the keyboard are called pipes or vertical bars. They are represented by the character "|". In computing, pipes are used for bitwise operations, regular expressions, and other purposes. Here is an example of using pipes in JavaScript to perform a bitwise OR operation between two numbers:

javascript
Copy code
let a = 5; // 101 in binary let b = 3; // 011 in binary let c = a | b; // Bitwise OR operation console.log(c); // Output: 7 (111 in binary)

To type the pipe character "|" on most keyboards, you can usually find it on the same key as the backslash character "\". On a US keyboard, the key is located above the Enter key and to the left of the Backspace key. To type the pipe character, press and hold the Shift key, and then press the backslash key. If you're using a different keyboard layout, the location of the pipe character may be different.

To write emojis in Windows, you can use the built-in emoji keyboard.

  1. First, make sure your cursor is in the location you want to insert the emoji.
  2. Press the Windows key + period (.) to open the emoji menu.
  3. Click on the emoji you want to insert, or search for it using the search bar.
  4. The selected emoji will be inserted at the cursor's location.

Note: The emoji keyboard is currently only available on Windows 10. If you are using an older version of Windows, you may need to copy and paste emojis from a website like https://getemoji.com/.

Here's an example screenshot of the Windows Emoji Keyboard:

Answered in 5.18 seconds

If you want to output something to the JavaScript console, you can use the console.log() function. Here's an example:

javascript
Copy code
// This will output the text "Hello, world!" to the console. console.log("Hello, world!");

You can also output variables or more complex expressions:

javascript
Copy code
const x = 5; const y = 3; console.log("The sum of x and y is", x + y);

This will output: "The sum of x and y is 8" to the console.

The console.log() function can also accept multiple arguments, which will be printed with a space on the console:

javascript
Copy code
const message1 = "Hello"; const message2 = "world!"; console.log(message1, message2);

This will output: "Hello world!" to the console.

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.57 seconds

Unfortunately, SheCodes does not have its own set of emojis that you can add to your keyboard in VS Code. However, you can install an extension that provides custom emojis. One such extension that you can use is called "Custom Emoji" which allows you to add your own emojis to the emoji picker in VS Code.

To install this extension:

  1. Click on the Extensions icon in the left-hand menu of VS Code.
  2. Type "Custom Emoji" in the search bar and press enter.
  3. Locate "Custom Emoji" extension by fabiospampinato and click "Install".
  4. After installation, you may configure the extension by opening the Command Palette with Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P, typing in "Custom Emoji" and selecting "Custom Emoji: Edit Emojis".

Once you install the Custom Emoji extension, you will be able to add the emoji of your choice to the emoji picker in VS Code. However, these emojis won't be "SheCodes" specific unless you have a set of SheCodes emojis that you want to add.

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. 👩‍💻🤝💻
