# JS | Basic Algorithms
4+
5+
Welcome to your first bootcamp exercise at IronHack!
6+
7+
The goal of this exercise is to get you acquainted with the different control structures we have in JavaScript.
8+
9+
Ready?
10+
11+
## Introduction
12+
13+
For this Pair-Programming activity we are going to use a [REPL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read%E2%80%93eval%E2%80%93print_loop). You can fine a REPL that runs in the browser for programming languages as JavaScript in [repl.it](https://repl.it/)
14+
15+
We could also type JavaScript code in an editor, and then execute it to see the results in the REPL.
16+
17+
Ready to start?
18+
19+
## Requirements
20+
21+
- Go to [repl.it](https://repl.it/languages/javascript) and create an account (or login if you have one)
22+
- Open a new repl.it and make sure the language is ==JavaScript==
23+
- Type this in the ==Code Editor== (left panel)
24+
25+
```javascript
26+
console.log("I'm Ready!");
27+
```
28+
- Press `run ►`
29+
- If you can see the message on the JavaScript REPL, you're ready!!

## Submission
34+
35+
When you are done and you have checked that everything works fine, go to https://gist.github.com/, create a new [secret gist](https://help.github.com/articles/about-gists/#secret-gists) and send it to your Instructor.

**Remember:** Remember to add the extension of the file `fileName`**.js** in the *"Filename including extension"* input box so you can enjoy [syntax highlighting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_highlighting) in your gist

## Exercise
44+
45+
### Names and Input
46+
47+
1. Create a variable `hacker1` with the driver's name
48+
49+
2. Print `"The driver's name is XXXX"`
50+
51+
3. Create a variable `hacker2` and [ask the user](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/prompt) for the navigator's name
52+
53+
4. Print `"The navigator's name is YYYY"`
54+
55+
### Conditionals
56+
57+
5. Depending on which name [is longer](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/length), print:
58+
- `The Driver has the longest name, it has XX characters` or
59+
- `Yo, navigator got the longest name, it has XX characters` or
60+
- `wow, you both got equally long names, XX characters!!`
61+
62+
### Loops
63+
64+
6. Print all the characters of the driver's name, separated by a space and [in capitals](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/toUpperCase)
65+
ie. `"J O H N"`
66+
67+
7. Print all the characters of the navigator's name, in reverse order.
68+
ie. `"nhoJ"`
69+
70+
8. Depending on the [lexicographic order](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographical_order) of the strings, print:
71+
- `The driver's name goes first`
72+
- `Yo, the navigator goes first definitely`
73+
- `What?! You both got the same name?`
74+
75+
### Bonus Time!
76+
77+
9. Ask the user for a new string and check if it's a [Palindrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindrome). Examples of palindromes:
78+
- "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!"
79+
- "Amor, Roma"
80+
- "race car"
81+
- "stack cats"
82+
- "step on no pets"
83+
- "taco cat"
84+
- "put it up"
85+
- "Was it a car or a cat I saw?" and "No 'x' in Nixon".
86+
87+
10. Go to [lorem ipsum generator](http://www.lipsum.com/) and:
88+
- Generate 3 parragraphs. Store the text in a String
89+
- Make your program count the number of words in the string
90+
- Make your program count the number of times the latin word [`et`](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/et#Latin)appears
91+
92+
