Question 28 

1. The code fragments below all represent attempts to declare/define a new function called myFunction which accepts two numbers and multiplies them.  Select all of versions of the code which may used to declare and define the new function.  (Hint, a choice being "syntactically valid", doesn't mean that it actually declares a new function usable as described.)

  myFunction (x,y) { 

     return x*y; 

} 

  new myFunction (x,y) { 

     return x*y; 

}

Question 31 

1. (NOTE: You may need to test the following behavior for yourself.)

If the user presses the "cancel" button when the following code is run

var response = prompt("Enter data");

alert(response.length);

The result would be:

  "null" will be displayed.

  "0" will be displayed.

  An empty string will be displayed.

  An "exception" because result is null.

Question 32 

1. In JavaScript, a function is declared to expect three parameters, but is only passed two parameters as follows:

function f(a,b,c) { return a + b + c }

Question 33

Question 35 

1. Write a JavaScript function called stringRepeat(theString, theDelimiter, repetitions) that accepts three parameters as follows:

• An arbitrary string value.

• A string to act as a separator (see below).

• the number of times the string should be repeated. 

• (For simplicity, you can assume it's an integer.. i.e, no decimal point)

The function should return a new string as illustrated below.

NOTE:  This function should not display any results itself, but only return the proper string.

For example:

A call to stringRepeat("hello", "_", 3) would return:  hello_hello_hello

A call to stringRepeat("x", ",", 5) would return:   x,x,x,x,x

A call to stringRepeat("Y", "", 2) would return:   YY

 

NOTE: You only need to show the function itself... not a complete web page.

Question 36 

1. Notes:

• You may wish to reuse one of your previous submissions or in-class examples -- with the appropriate modification -- for this question.

• Full full credit, the code/page must properly create and use a JavaScript "object" . 

• Partial credit will be awarded for a solution which (outwardly) functions correctly, but does not utilize objects.

 

Write a simple HTML/JavaScript program which is capable of computing the area of a Circle as follows:

3. On an HTML page, display five (5) elements: 

a. An "input field" where a human can enter the Radius of the Circle. 

a. (This should be labeled on the page as: "Enter Radius:") 

  

b. An "Output Field" (or just a simple HTML "span"; it doesn't matter which) where the output will be displayed. 

• (This should be labeled on the page as: "Calculated Area:")

  

c. A "Button" labeled "Create Object". Clicking this button should: 

• Define a JavaScript Function/Object in code which represents a Circle. (See "2" below)

• NOTE:  Partial credit will be awarded if the solution generates the correct output, but does not actually create an "object". 

 

d. A "Button" labeled "Show Area". Clicking this button should: 

• Call a getArea() method of your Circle object as created above. (See "2" below)

• Display the returned area value in the output field.

 

For Example:

 

4. In a the SAME HTML file create a function/object called Circle(radius) which: 

 .   Accepts the radius value as an initial parameter.

a.   Implements a getArea() function as described above which performs the appropriate calculation and updates the page as described above. 

• (This is the function that should be called when when the user clicks the "Show Area" button described above.)

• Reminder: The area of Circle is:
