Part 3: JavaScript - Program Outline, Startup Function, and Prompt
We are going to use a function that we can consider an entry point into our running JavaScript. Below is an outline of the major elements in our JavaScript file.
- getRandomInt() function: generate a random integer
- startup() function: entry point function
- call to startup() function
Below is your startup code:
function getRandomInt(min, max) {}
function startup() {}
startup();
>> Add the above code components to your cis111-07.js JavaScript file below your multiline comment.
>> Copy the getRandomInt function code from your previous assignment, or from this Stackoverflow article (Links to an external site.). Remember to add a single line comment above the getRandomInt function that documents the source of the code.
Before attempting to use the prompt function in your code, you should try out the function in the console.
>> Enter the following into the console to test displaying the prompt dialog.
prompt();
Prompt can include an optional text prompt.
>> Enter the following into the console to display a text prompt in the prompt dialog.
prompt("Enter data:");
The prompt function will return whatever was typed into the prompt dialog.
>> Enter the following into the console to store and display the user-input into the prompt dialog.
let input = prompt("Enter data:");
Now that you're familiar with how prompt works, let's add prompt to our startup function.
>> Add the prompt function to the startup function, using appropriate prompt text. Capture the input returned from the prompt function into a variable.
