what is a function

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.89 seconds

In programming, a function is a reusable block of code that performs a specific task. It takes input(s) as parameters, performs some operations on them and returns a result. Functions are used to organize code, make it more readable, and avoid repetitive tasks.

Here is an example of a function in JavaScript that takes in two numbers and returns the sum of those two numbers:

javascript
Copy code
function addNumbers(num1, num2) { return num1 + num2; } // Call the function let result = addNumbers(4, 5); console.log(result); // Output: 9

Asked 2 years ago in CSS by Yassaman

why the texts are not in the middle of the page ?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.27 seconds

It seems like you are asking about center alignment of text on a webpage. To center text on a webpage using CSS, you can use the text-align: center property for the container that the text is in.

For example:

css
Copy code
<div class="container"> <p>This text will be centered.</p> </div> .container { text-align: center; }

You can also use the margin: auto property on a block-level element with a set width to horizontally center it.

For example:

css
Copy code
<div class="container"> <div class="box"></div> </div> .box { width: 200px; height: 200px; background-color: gray; margin: auto; }

Please note that this will depend on your specific webpage and its code, and there may be other factors that affect center alignment.

My code is not updating into my chrome file on VS code tool

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.26 seconds

To update your code in the Chrome browser, you need to first make sure that you have saved the changes you made in the VS Code editor. Then, you need to refresh the browser page to see the updated code.

If this still doesn't work, you may need to clear your browser cache or disable any extensions that could be interfering with the reload. Check the VS Code documentation for more information about how to update your code in Chrome.

Here is an example on how to clear Chrome's cache:

javascript
Copy code
// Clear cache and hard reload in Chrome 1. Open Chrome 2. Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner 3. Go to More tools > Clear browsing data 4. Choose the time range to clear (ex: Last hour) 5. Check the box for 'Cached images and files' 6. Click 'Clear data' 7. Reload your page

Please note that these steps may vary slightly depending on your version of Chrome.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป how do i save the changes you made in the VS Code editor

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.87 seconds

To save changes made in the VS Code editor, you can use the following methods:

  1. Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+S on Windows or CMD+S on Mac to save the changes quickly.

  2. Click on the File menu in the top-left corner of VS Code and select the Save option.

  3. Right-click on the file in the file explorer sidebar on the left and select the Save option from the contextual menu.

After saving the changes, you should see a message appear in the bottom-right of the screen saying "File Saved" or similar.

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.

Whatโ€™s the hexadecimal value for purple?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 1.93 seconds

The hexadecimal value for purple can vary depending on the shade of purple. However, the most common hexadecimal code for purple is #800080. This code represents the RGB values (128, 0, 128), where 128 is the value for intensity of the red, green, and blue values. The code is written in HTML or CSS to represent the color purple.

html
Copy code
<div style="background-color: #800080;"></div>

This code sets the background color of an HTML element to purple.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป Technical question

How can I ensure that my code is clean?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.89 seconds

Clean code ensures that your application is maintainable and extensible. Here are some practices to keep your code consistent and organized:

  • Ensure that all your code is version-controlled and up-to-date.
  • Refactor code regularly.
  • Comment your code to make it easier to read and understand.
  • Follow good naming conventions.
  • Stick to naming conventions.
  • Organize code logically.
  • Use consistent indentation.
  • Follow language specific conventions.

Here's an example of clean code written in JavaScript:

js
Copy code
const daysInMonth = (month, leapYear) => { if (month === 2) { return leapYear ? 29 : 28; } if (month < 8) { return month % 2 === 0 ? 30 : 31; } return month % 2 === 0 ? 31 : 30; };

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป How should I learn to write clean code?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.3 seconds

There are many resources available to help learn how to write clean code.

  • Read books such as "Clean Code" by Robert C. Martin and "The Pragmatic Programmer" by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas.
  • Watch videos or take online courses at platforms like Udemy, Coursera, and Pluralsight.
  • Participate in open-source communities to assess other code written by experienced developers.
  • Review code standards and best practices provided by established organizations or committees such as W3C.

Remember that writing clean code is an ongoing process, so it is important to regularly practice writing clean code and to seek feedback from others.

Can you explain the ?? in this code? method: update.method === null ? undefined : update.method ?? this.method

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 20.06 seconds

?? is the null-coalescing operator in JavaScript, which is used to provide a default value when the variable referenced is null or undefined. In this code, ?? is being used as a short-hand way of saying:

javascript
Copy code
update.method === null ? undefined : update.method

In other words, if update.method is null, then the value of update.method is undefined, otherwise use whatever value is in update.method.

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. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’ป
