Understanding the basics of Javascript is SUPER important. Therefore this homework focuses on repeating the basics to really have a solid understanding of this.
If you struggle to do this weeks homework there are a couple of things to do:
- Watch the class recording. If it for some reason is missing. Then watch these: part 1, part 2, part 3
- Go through the last 3 weeks readme files. Week 1, week 2, week 3
Finish the exercises from the class!
Complete these Katas in codewars:

You will be building a voice assistant 🤖! Is that even possible in javascript, YES! EVERYTHING is possible in javascript 💪 (nearly)
Create a function called getReply(command)
. The function should return a response that corresponds to the command!
These are the commands you should be able to give the voice assistant:
Hello my name is Benjamin
- Should save the name benjamin. and respond with "nice to meet you Benjamin". What if someone writes this twice?What is my name
- should respond with the name of the person. What if the name has not yet been mentioned?Add fishing to my todo
- Should respond with "fishing added to your todo". Should add fishing to a list of todosAdd singing in the shower to my todo
- Should add singing in the shower to a list of todosRemove fishing from my todo
- Should respond with "Removed fishing from your todo"What is on my todo?
- should respond with the todos. Fx you have 2 todos - fishing and singing in the showerWhat day is it today?
- Should respond with the date in a human readable format. E.g. if today is 30/8/2019 then it should respond with 30. of August 2019- Should be able to do simple math. fx
what is 3 + 3
should respond with 6. Orwhat is 4 * 12
should respond with 48 Set a timer for 4 minutes
- Should respond with "Timer set for 4 minutes". When 4 minutes is up: "Timer done". How do we set a timer in js? Google is your friend here!- Add one or more command to your voice assistant
Here is an example of usage:
console.log(getReply("Hello my name is Benjamin")); // "Nice to meet you benjamin"
console.log(getReply("What is my name?")); // "Your name is Benjamin"
console.log(getReply("Add fishing to my todo")); // "fishing added to your todo"
When you are done, add your getReply
function and global variables to this CodeSandbox and try the voice command out with both commands and speech!

Go over your homework one last time:
- Does every file run without errors and with the correct results?
- Have you used
const
andlet
and avoidedvar
? - Do the variable, function and argument names you created follow the Naming Conventions?
- Is your code well-formatted (see Code Formatting)?
