Netlify answered Line 20:32: Array.prototype.map() expects a value to be returned at the end of function

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 9.01 seconds

Array.prototype.map() is a built-in JavaScript method that takes a function as an argument, takes each element of the array in order, and applies the function to create a new array from the array given. The function passed as an argument should return a value inside of the array map function so that it's included in the new array.

For example, the below code will map through an array and double each number. The return statement inside the function ensures that the new value that is calculated will be included in the new array:

javascript
Copy code
const arr = [2, 4, 6, 8]; const double = arr.map(num => { return num * 2; }); console.log(double); // [4, 8, 12, 16]

How to remove dots from a variable in javascript?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 11.53 seconds

You can remove dots from a variable in JavaScript using the replace() method. The syntax is as follows:

javascript
Copy code
let myVar = "some.string.with.dots."; myVar = myVar.replace(/[.]/g, '');

The first line of code declares a variable myVar and assigns it to a string with dots. The second line uses the replace() method to remove all dots ([.]) with an empty string ('') globally (g). After running the code, the myVar will now hold somestringwithdots.

.toLowerCase Cannot read properties of null (reading 'toLowerCase')

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 6.62 seconds

This error is caused when the value you are trying to convert to lower case is null or undefined. To fix the error, make sure the value you are trying to convert is defined and has a value. Also, since toLowerCase() is a method on the string prototype, make sure the value is a string. For example:

js
Copy code
let str = 'Hello'; str.toLowerCase(); // hello let str2; str2.toLowerCase(); // Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined

Copy code
let input = prompt("Enter something").toLowerCase();

By adding the .toLowerCase() method to the end of the prompt statement, the input is automatically converted to all lowercase, despite the user typing in uppercase or lowercase characters.

👩‍💻 Technical question

What is the map method

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.07 seconds

The map() method of the Array prototype executes a provided callback for each value in an array and returns a new array containing the results. The provided callback must take three arguments - currentValue, index, and array - and can be written in any of the various supported JavaScript coding languages.

Syntax:

javascript
Copy code
array.map(callback(currentValue, index, array))

For more information, see Mozilla's Developer Network Guide for map().

how do i replace something in an array?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 11.01 seconds

Replacing something in an array can be accomplished in many different programming languages. For example, in JavaScript, the splice() method can be used to remove existing elements from an array and then replace them with new elements.

javascript
Copy code
const fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"]; // Removing 1 element at index 0 fruits.splice(0, 1); // insert 1 element at index 0 fruits.splice(0, 0, "Lemon"); // change the element at index 0 fruits.splice(0, 1, "Kiwi"); console.log(fruits); // Output: ["Kiwi", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"]

For more information on how to use the splice() method see this MDN article.

How to set JS attribute?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 16.92 seconds

To set a JavaScript attribute, you need to use the setAttribute() method. The setAttribute() method accepts two parameters, an attribute and its value. The attribute should be provided as a string and its value can be provided as a string, number, boolean, or any other type.

Here's an example for setting an HTML element's className attribute using setAttribute():

js
Copy code
<div id="example"></div> // Set the className attribute document.getElementById("example").setAttribute("className", "my-class");

More information on setAttribute() can be found in the MDN Web Docs.

how to use math.max

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 19.72 seconds

The Math.max() method returns the largest of zero or more numbers. The syntax for using Math.max() is:

js
Copy code
Math.max(value1, value2 [,value3, ...])

You can also use it to find the maximum of an array. To do so, you would use the apply() method:

js
Copy code
Math.max.apply(null, [value1, value2, value3, ...]);

Here is a full example showing how to use Math.max() with an array:

js
Copy code
const numbers = [1, 12, 4, 18, 9]; const maxValue = Math.max.apply(null, numbers); console.log(maxValue); // output: 18

What is the object in js?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 10.53 seconds

In JavaScript, an object is a collection of properties, and a property is an association between a name (or key) and a value. A property's value can be a function, in which case the property is known as a method. Objects are the building blocks for modern JavaScript applications and are used to store and manage data.

👩‍💻 Technical question

how can i use an array to set the innerhtml of an element to the correct day of the week?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.71 seconds

You can use an array to set the innerHTML of an element to the correct day of the week by first declaring and initializing an array containing the days of the week. For example:

javascript
Copy code
let days = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];

Then you can use the getDay() method to get the index of the day in the array, like so:

javascript
Copy code
let index = new Date().getDay();

Finally, you can use the calculated index value to access the appropriate day of the week string from the array, and set it as the value of the element's innerHTML:

javascript
Copy code
document.getElementById("elementId").innerHTML = days[index];

You can find more information on the getDay() here.

👩‍💻 Technical question

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. 👩‍💻🤝💻
