Instead, it always uses the variable `num`, which is set to 103. When the function is called with values like `getLastDigit(42)`, `42` is ignored because the function doesn't accept any parameters. As a result, it always converts 103 to a string and returns the last character — "3" — every time. This is why the output shows "3" as the last digit for all numbers, even though it's incorrect. + // Finally, correct the code to fix the problem // =============> write your new code here +function getLastDigit(num) { + return num.toString().slice(-1); +} + +console.log(`The last digit of 42 is ${getLastDigit(42)}`); +console.log(`The last digit of 105 is ${getLastDigit(105)}`); +console.log(`The last digit of 806 is ${getLastDigit(806)}`); // This program should tell the user the last digit of each number. // Explain why getLastDigit is not working properly - correct the problem diff --git a/Sprint-2/3-mandatory-implement/1-bmi.js b/Sprint-2/3-mandatory-implement/1-bmi.js index 17b1cbde1..daf0f6118 100644 --- a/Sprint-2/3-mandatory-implement/1-bmi.js +++ b/Sprint-2/3-mandatory-implement/1-bmi.js @@ -15,5 +15,7 @@ // It should return their Body Mass Index to 1 decimal place function calculateBMI(weight, height) { + const bmi = weight / (height * height); + return Number(bmi.toFixed(1)); + } // return the BMI of someone based off their weight and height -} \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/Sprint-2/3-mandatory-implement/2-cases.js b/Sprint-2/3-mandatory-implement/2-cases.js index 5b0ef77ad..c5901e0ee 100644 --- a/Sprint-2/3-mandatory-implement/2-cases.js +++ b/Sprint-2/3-mandatory-implement/2-cases.js @@ -14,3 +14,9 @@ // You will need to come up with an appropriate name for the function // Use the MDN string documentation to help you find a solution // This might help https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/toUpperCase + +function toUpperSnakeCase(input) { + return input.replace(/ /g, "_").toUpperCase(); + } + + // This function takes a string as input and returns it in UPPER_SNAKE_CASE format.
