SE2840 Midterm Exam
You may use a single double-sided sheet of notes, that you must sign and hand in
with your exam.
You may access any online resources to help you complete the exam.
The exam will cover all material in the course through the end of week 4 (and
lab 4).
The exam will consist of two parts: Part 1 will be a Blackboard quiz with
short-answer/multiple-choice problems. Part 2 will be a small coding problem
that you will also submit via Blackboard, as you do for lab assignments.
Focus areas:
Practice:
Write the JavaScript class Dog whose constructor takes two string parameters representing the name and color of the Dog.
The constructor should set the Dog's name and color properties to these arguments' values.
The class contains two additional methods:
1) a "public" method getName that returns the name of the Dog
2) a "private" method setColor that takes a single string parameter and sets the Dog's color according to the parameter.
Practice:
Consider the following declaration:
let forecast1 = [
{ "city": "Milwaukee", "state": "WI", "date": {"day":"16",
"month":"Jan", "year":"2020" },
"today":{ "temperature": "22", "humidity": "36%",
"wind-Speed": "1" },
"tonight":{ "temperature": "-2", "humidity": "10%",
"wind-Speed": "3" },
"tomorrow":{ "temperature": "15", "humidity": "10%",
"wind-Speed": "2" }
},
{
"city": "Madison", "state": "WI", "date": {"day":"16", "month":"Jan",
"year":"2020" },
"today":{ "temperature": "19", "humidity": "33%",
"wind-Speed": "0" },
"tomorrow":{ "temperature": "4", "humidity": "14%",
"wind-Speed": "5" }
}
] ;
Write the Javascript statement that declares a variable x and assigns it to the temperature in Milwaukee today. What is the datatype of x?
Now assign x to the wind speed in Milwaukee today. (Hint: special syntax required!)
What happens when you try to assign x to the temperature in Madison tonight? How can you check for this condition?
let forecast2 = {weather:[
{ "city": "Milwaukee", "state": "WI", "date": {"day":"16",
"month":"Jan", "year":"2020" },
"today":{ "temperature": "22", "humidity": "36%",
"wind-Speed": "1" },
"tonight":{ "temperature": "-2", "humidity": "10%",
"wind-Speed": "3" },
"tomorrow":{ "temperature": "15", "humidity": "10%",
"wind-Speed": "2" }
},
{
"city": "Madison", "state": "WI", "date": {"day":"16", "month":"Jan",
"year":"2020" },
"today":{ "temperature": "19", "humidity": "33%",
"wind-Speed": "0" },
"tomorrow":{ "temperature": "4", "humidity": "14%",
"wind-Speed": "5" }
}
] };
Does it matter whether (no pun intended) "weather" is quoted or not?
Write the Javascript statement that deslares a variable x and assigns it to the wind Speed in Madison tomorrow.
let strForecast =`[{"city": "Milwaukee","state": "WI","date": {"day":"16", "month":"Jan", "year":"2020" },"today":{"temperature": "22","humidity": "36%","wind-Speed": "1"},"tonight":{"temperature": "-2","humidity": "10%","wind-Speed": "3"}, "tomorrow":{"temperature": "15","humidity": "10%","wind-Speed": "2"}}]`;
This is a valid JSON String - how can you convert it to a JavaScript object???
What is the main syntactic difference between a JSON string declaration and a JavaScript object declaration.
