Stretch — JavaScript Olympics

The Big Idea

The JavaScript Olympics is a stretch challenge: five events that test your ability to create objects, write functions, use built-in methods, and read tests to understand what is expected. Some of this you already know how to do. Some will require research.

Your Roadmap

Setup

The JavaScript Olympics lives in the same repo as the other kata. Run the tests:

npm test stretch-js-olympics

Event 0 — The Warm-up

Create athlete profiles for yourself and someone else you know. Add both to the athleteArray.

Each profile needs: name, age, sport, and quote. Use object literal notation.

Run the tests to confirm your properties are defined correctly.

Event 1 — Bulk Up

Add properties to objects

Use a for loop to add a win property to every element in athleteArray.

win should be a function expression that console.logs: "{name} won the {sport} event!"

Event 2 — Jumble Your Words

Reverse a string

Create a function called unjumble that takes a string and returns it reversed.

Use the built-in methods available for strings and arrays.

Event 3 — Remove the Odds

Remove odd numbers from an array

Create a function called removeOdds that takes an array of numbers and returns only the even ones.

You can do this manually or use a built-in Array method.

Event 4 — Factory Function

Build a factory function

Create a function called newAthlete that takes name, age, sport, and quote as parameters and returns a new athlete object.

You've made it to the end of the stretch challenge - great effort!
