Warm Up

Let's take 10 - 15 minutes to write a function that capitalizes a word

When you go on a job interview and are given a code challenge, you'll be able to look up JavaScript methods. But you won't be able to google 'how to capitalize a word using js'. The interviewers will be looking for your problem solving skills. So start building them by imagining this is for a job interview. Work through the steps. You've got this!

const capitalize = (word) => { // your code here}
capitalize('hello') // 'Hello'capitalize('howdy') // 'Howdy'capitalize('aloha') // 'Aloha'

  • Make a function called swapcase that swaps the case - if a letter is lowercase make it uppercase and vice versa

  • Make a function called wackycase - that lowercases the first letter and then alternates between making the following letters uppercase and lower case.

    • fun => fUn
    • times => tImEs

  • eVeN mOaR bOnUs

    • write a function that takes a sentence (multiple words) and uses your wackycase function to do the following:
      • serious fun times should be sErIoUs FuN tImEs
