Task 1: Even or odd?

Write a function isEven that takes a number and returns "Even" if the number is even and "Odd" if it is odd.

console.log(isEven(4)); // "Even"
console.log(isEven(7)); // "Odd"

1️⃣

function isEven() {
  return num % 2 === 0 ? "Even" : "Odd";
}

2️⃣

function isEven(num) {
  return num % 2 = 0 ? "Even" : "Odd";
}

3️⃣

function isEven(num) {
  return num % 2 === 0 ? "Even" : "Odd";
}

One of Those “Onboarding” UIs, With Anchor Positioning

Anchor positioning lets us attach — or “anchor” — one element to one or more other elements. More than that, it allows us to define how a “target” element (that’s what we call the element we’re attaching to an anchor element) is positioned next to the anchor-positioned element, including fallback positioning in the form of a new @position-try at-rule.

Task 2: Find the maximum of three numbers

Write a function findMax that takes three numbers and returns the largest of them.

console.log(findMax(5, 12, 9)); // 12

✅ Сhoose the correct option ✅ Or write your version in the comments 📝

1️⃣

function findMax(a, b, c) {
  return Math.max(a, b, c);
}

2️⃣

function findMax() {
  return Math.max(a, b, c);
}

3️⃣

function findMax(a, b, c) {
  Math.max(a, b, c);
}

🧐 You probably don’t need http-equiv meta tags

Until recently, I just assumed you could put anything equivalent to an HTTP header in an http-equiv meta tag, and browsers would treat it like the header itself. Maybe you thought the same thing—why wouldn’t you, with a name like that.

But as it turns out, there are actually very few standard values that you can set here. And some values don’t even behave the same way as their header equivalents! What’s going on here and how are we supposed to use this thing?

🧑‍💻 Task 3: Fizz-Buzz

Write a program that prints numbers from 1 to 20, but:

If the number is divisible by 3, print "Fizz"
If the number is divisible by 5, print "Buzz"
If the number is divisible by both 3 and 5, print "FizzBuzz"
Otherwise, just print the number

Example output:

// 1  2  Fizz 4  Buzz Fizz 7 ... FizzBuzz

1️⃣

for (let i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
  if (i % 3 = 0 && i % 5 = 0) {
    console.log("FizzBuzz");
  } else if (i % 3 = 0) {
    console.log("Fizz");
  } else if (i % 5 = 0) {
    console.log("Buzz");
  } else {
    console.log(i);
  }
}

2️⃣

for (let i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
  if (i % 3 === 0 && i % 5 === 0) {
    console.log("FizzBuzz");
  } else if (i % 3 === 0) {
    console.log("Fizz");
  } else if (i % 5 === 0) {
    console.log("Buzz");
  } else {
    console.log(i);
  }
}

3️⃣

for (let i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
  if (i % 3 === 0 || i % 5 === 0) {
    console.log("FizzBuzz");
  } else if (i % 3 === 0) {
    console.log("Fizz");
  } else if (i % 5 === 0) {
    console.log("Buzz");
  } else {
    console.log(i);
  }
}
