I’ve challenged myself to 30 days of codewars, one a day, time myself, and learn how I could have done it better.
Today I did: https://www.codewars.com/kata/dont-rely-on-luck/javascript
Time: 8 minutes
What I’ve learnt: It took me about a minute to realize that we need to override a javascript built in function here. And about 7 minutes to realize exactly how to do this. I tried first by recreating the function, but I was getting an error creating a function with the name Math.floor, and then I tried assigning it to a variable with a const, and then realized that won’t work because it has already been created! So I just did Math.floor = and that worked the magic!
Here was my solution:
1 2 3 4 5 |
var guess = "Sorry. Unlucky this time." Math.floor = () => { return "Sorry. Unlucky this time." } |
What I learned from other people’s code:
Well, everyone did this quite similarly, there is not much change you can do. I guess I could have put my arrow function on one line to knock down some of the lines of code, and the return. I also did not realize that you just had to have a static return, and that it did not need to return that particular string.
And, onto the next!
