compatibility program is now extra credit

If anyone wants to continue the "compatibility program" for extra credit, you can turn it in on Monday by yourself or with someone else.

We are focusing on the modules pretty seriously now. So we will put javascript specifically on the backburner for a bit. I hope you keep up your skills though...much of your midterm will be based on javascript! So if you were upset that I didn't give the quiz in class and you studied I hope you realize that those skills are very important to this class (and maybe your life).

Javascript Quiz Tomorrow!

Sorry for the delay in your quiz. Here is the link to where the code samples are:

http://www.webdeveloper.com/javascript/javascript_js_tutorial.html


Blogger wouldn't let me put the exact javascript code that will be on your quiz so you just have to read through all the examples on that page.

Javascript Quiz:

1. What is the difference between HTML and Javascript?

2. To what does the Object model refer?

3. What are two ways the '+' sign can be used with Javascript?

4. What does 'onMouseOver' do?

5. What does this code

do?


6. What does this code





do?

7. What does
displayWindow = window.open("","WDWindow")
do?

Quiz Will Not be Tomorrow

Well I haven't posted the quiz review online because I will have a sub tomorrow.

So it'll be postponed until Wednesday.

I will leave the work for class on this blog tomorrow and you will work on your "Dating Program!"

SWBAT: design a "dating program." Divide the male names into A-F, G-K, L-Q, R-z (or any way you want) and divide the female names the same way. Obviously the real world is more complicated than this but we are doing a javascript based on nothing really. (If people take it seriously they really need some confidence.)

So after coming up with the 'compatible' partner for the person who entered the name, return both names in a prompt and whether they are compatible. You can add other variables.

Project due Friday at the beginning of class.

Here is the grading procedure:

Prompts 20 pts.
Comparison of two names 60 pts.
Output 20 pts.
Extra A in the gradebook for every variable you bring into the equation! This is a great opportunity for extra credit!

Nice summary of javascript

We'll read through this in class.

In class practice

Practice in class:


1. Write a program that gives you a random number (var randomnumber=Math.floor(Math.random()*10))with a maximum of 10. Test to see if that number is over six. If it is give the user an alert "Hey your number is over six!" Print out the HTML.

Homework due Thursday.

Create a new program. Create an array with five
elements (var num_Array = new Array(5)) and add random
numbers less than 10 to each element of the array.

Loop through the array and print out to the screen the element of the array if it is greater than 5.

Print out the HTML.

One option will be to have the computer playing against a person and the other option will be to have a person playing against a person.

You need a random number generator and a ranking system for the three levels.
