I am new to Programming and am looking for a nudge or some tips into the right direction with an iteration. I am trying to create looping for a random password generator I have created.
I need the function to loop 3 times and I'm aware some of the code is incorrect as I was just trying to see what I could get to work, I'm open to anything you guys throw my way - I will be posting the code below. :)
//Function to generate and display to console Word 1 - random number
function Word1() {
var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * 9 + 1);
return random
}
// function to generate and display to console Word 2 - random emotion
function Word2() {
var emotions = [ 'sad', 'happy', 'cheerful', 'angry', 'fear', 'surprise'];
return emotions[Math.floor(Math.random()*emotions.length)];
}
//function to generate and display to console Word 3 - random plural noun
function Word3() {
var emotions = [ 'computer', 'day', 'car', 'flower', 'house', 'cat'];
var plural = ['s'];
var random = emotions[Math.floor(Math.random()*emotions.length)];
var emotion_plural = random + plural;
return emotion_plural
}
//function to generate and display to console Word 4 - random verb
function Word4() {
var verbs = [ 'running', 'walking', 'sleeping', 'talking', 'singing', 'sitting'];
return verbs[Math.floor(Math.random()*verbs.length)];
}
// function to create password one-line string
function passWord() {
return `${Word1()} ${Word2()} ${Word3()} ${Word4()}`
//console.log(passWord());
}
Your code wasnt off to a terrible start for being basic. You had some typos... Javascript variable and function names are case sensitive.
I also broke out some of the variables just to make the process more "readable". Its not overall how I would do everything, but I kept to your initial stab at it.
var Word1 = function() {
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 9 + 1);
return randomNumber
};
var Word2 = function() {
var emotions = ['sad', 'happy', 'cheerful', 'angry', 'fear', 'surprise'];
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * emotions.length);
var randomEmotion = emotions[randomNumber];
return randomEmotion;
};
var Word3 = function() {
var nouns = ['computer', 'day', 'car', 'flower', 'house', 'cat'];
var plural = 's';
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * nouns.length);
var randomNoun = nouns[randomNumber];
var pluralRandomNoun = randomNoun + plural;
return pluralRandomNoun;
};
var Word4 = function() {
var verbs = ['running', 'walking', 'sleeping', 'talking', 'singing', 'sitting'];
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * verbs.length);
var randomVerb = verbs[randomNumber];
return randomVerb;
};
var passWord = function() {
var randomPassword = Word1() + Word2() + Word3() + Word4();
return randomPassword;
};
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
console.log(passWord());
}
