JS Basics

• Open the project in Visual Studio Code
• Start the Live Server
• Open the Console tab on Chrome's DevTools

Exercise 4: Arrays

1. Create an array names with at least 3 elements: 'david', 'gordon', and 'sahil' and log it to the console

2. Log the value of the third element in names to the console

3. Log the value of the names array's length property to the console

4. Set the value of the length property to 1

5. Once again, log the value of the names array's length property to the console. Did it change?

6. Log the entire names array to the console again

7. Add a few more elements to the array

8. Log the last element of the array to the console

9. Log the second last element of the array to the console

10. Change the textContent property of the second p tag on the page to "JavaScript was here!"

11. Convert the names array to a string, with each element separated by a '<br>'. Store it in a new variable called namesString e.g. if names is ['harry', 'ron', 'dean'] then namesString will be "harry<br>ron<br>dean"

12. Change the innerHTML property of the first p tag on the page to namesString. What happens when you use textContent instead of innerHTML?

Exercise 5: Doing things with array elements

1. Create a new array shoppingList with a few string elements

2. Using forEach, log every element of the shoppingList array to the console

3. For each element in the shoppingList array, create an <li> node and append it to the <ul> element on the page (use document.createElement and .appendChild)

4. Create a new array numbers with a few numeric elements

5. Using map on the numbers array, create a new array called squareNumbers where each element is the square of the corresponding element in the numbers array
