what can I use to remove selected items in an array

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.74 seconds

You can use the JavaScript splice() method to remove selected items in an array. The splice() method changes the contents of an array by removing or replacing existing elements and/or adding new elements in place, returning the removed items.

The splice() method takes two required arguments: the index at which to start changing the array, and the number of elements to remove. You can also add additional elements to the array by passing them as arguments after the second argument.

Here is an example:

javascript
Copy code
let fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'kiwi']; // remove 'orange' and 'kiwi' fruits.splice(2, 2); console.log(fruits); // Output: ['apple', 'banana']

In the above example, we used splice() to remove the elements at index 2 (the third element, which is 'orange') and index 3 (the fourth element, which is 'kiwi').

You can find more information about the splice() method and its usage in the MDN Web Docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/splice

Explain recursion

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.56 seconds

Recursion is a technique in programming where a function calls itself as a subroutine to solve a particular problem. The recursive function can be called with a smaller version of the problem which leads to a smaller version of the solution, and the solution for the original problem is derived by combining the solutions of smaller subproblems.

In order to use recursion, there must be a well-defined base case, that is, a condition that causes the function to stop calling itself and return a value. Without a base case, the function will continue calling itself indefinitely, leading to a stack overflow error in most programming languages.

Recursive functions are useful for solving certain types of problems, such as searching algorithms, tree traversals, and sorting algorithms. However, recursion can be less efficient than iterative approaches, as each recursive call adds a new stack frame to the call stack, which can consume significant amounts of memory.

Here's an example of a recursive function in JavaScript that calculates the factorial of a number:

javascript
Copy code
function factorial(num) { if (num === 0) { return 1; } else { return num * factorial(num - 1); } } console.log(factorial(5)); // returns 120

In this example, the function calls itself with a smaller value of num until num reaches 0, which is the base case. Once the base case is reached, the function begins returning values from the call stack, multiplying them together to get the final result.

Asked 2 years ago in HTML by Marรญa Isabel

span is an element?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.37 seconds

Yes, <span> is an HTML element. It is an inline container used to group and style text or inline-level elements. It is commonly used to apply CSS styles or to target specific content with JavaScript. Here's an example of how to use it:

html
Copy code
<p>This is a <span style="color: red;">red</span> word.</p>

In this example, the word "red" is enclosed within a <span> element with a style attribute that changes its color to red.

Asked 2 years ago in CSS by Rachel

where should I put my css class?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.87 seconds

In HTML, you can put CSS classes in various places such as the class attribute of HTML tags, CSS selectors, or JavaScript using the classList property.

Here's an example of how to add a CSS class to an HTML tag using the class attribute:

html
Copy code
<p class="my-class">This is a paragraph with the "my-class" CSS class.</p>

Here's an example of how to add a CSS class using a CSS Selector:

css
Copy code
.my-class { color: red; }

In this example, any HTML element with my-class in its class attribute will have its text color set to red.

You can also use JavaScript to add or remove CSS classes. Here's an example using the classList property:

javascript
Copy code
const element = document.querySelector("#my-element"); element.classList.add("my-class");

In this example, we are selecting an HTML element with an ID of my-element and adding the my-class CSS class to it. More information can be found on Mozilla Developer Network.

how to install axios using cdn

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.32 seconds

To install Axios using a CDN, you can include the script tag in your HTML file directly:

html
Copy code
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script>

This will load the latest version of Axios. If you want to load a specific version, you can add the version number to the end of the URL:

html
Copy code
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/axios@0.21.1/dist/axios.min.js"></script>

Remember to place this script tag before any scripts that use Axios in your HTML file.

Once you've included the Axios script in your HTML file, you can use it in your JavaScript code as you normally would. For example:

javascript
Copy code
axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1') .then(function (response) { console.log(response.data); }) .catch(function (error) { console.log(error); });

This would make a GET request to the JSONPlaceholder API and log the response data to the console when the request is successful.

what is the function in java script?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.78 seconds

In JavaScript, a function is a block of code that can be used to perform a single task. Functions are typically used for code re-use and can take inputs (in the form of parameters) and produce a resulting output.

For example, let's say we have a function named sum() that takes two parameters and returns the sum of those two parameters:

javascript
Copy code
function sum(a, b) { return a + b; } let result = sum(2, 3); console.log(result); // 5

Hey Athena, what does this mean? Uncaught ReferenceError: Cannot access 'city' before initialization

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 16.4 seconds

This means that the code tried to access a variable called city before the variable was initialized with a value. This error occurs when you try to access a variable before it has been declared or assigned a value. To solve this error, make sure the area in your code where you're trying to access city is after the line where it is first declared. For example, in JavaScript this could look like:

javascript
Copy code
//This code throws an Uncaught ReferenceError console.log(city); let city = 'London'; //This code does not throw an error let city = 'London'; console.log(city);

how do I start running a function after one function is complete

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 12.18 seconds

One way to start running a function after another function has been completed is by using a callback function. This is a function that is passed as an argument to another function, with the intention of being executed once the other function has finished. An example in JavaScript would be:

js
Copy code
function firstFunction(callback){ console.log('This is the first function'); callback(); } function secondFunction(){ console.log('This is the second function'); } firstFunction(secondFunction);

When running this example code, you would see the following in the console:

code
Copy code
This is the first function This is the second function

My trim doesn't seem to be working in my code. Why is this?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 13.2 seconds

The trim() method in most programming languages is used to remove any leading or trailing whitespace from a string. To use it correctly, check that you are passing in the correct parameters - usually the string variable you want to trim.

For example, in Javascript you can use str.trim() to remove any leading or trailing whitespace from the string str.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป Technical question

can i use a variable that is declared in a function, outside of the function?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 6.82 seconds

In most programming languages, variables declared inside a function cannot be used outside of the function. This is because the variable is scoped within the functionโ€™s block.

For example in JavaScript, a variable declared inside a function is only available within the scope of the function:

js
Copy code
function myFunc() { let myVar = 'my variable'; return 'foo'; } console.log(myVar); // Uncaught ReferenceError: myVar is not defined
