Is there a better way to do this? I’m so lost at this point.
function loopingData2() {
let most = 0
let result
let datesWithCounts = {}
//access sale dates object
let datesByCandyName = store2[`sale dates`]
//get array values
for (let candy in datesByCandyName) {
for (let i = 0; i < candy.length; i++) {
console.log(datesByCandyName)
if (!candy[i]) {
candy[i] = 1
} else {
candy[i]++
}
}
}
return result
}
I was closer before? Sorry, it’s been a very long day and I really want to figure this one out so don’t give up on me! I was at the bootcamp at 6:30AM until 5:30 today.
function loopingData2() {
let most = 0
let result
let datesWithCounts = {}
//access sale dates object
let datesByCandyName = store2[`sale dates`]
//get array values
for (let candy in datesByCandyName){
for (let i = 0; i < datesByCandyName[candy].length; i++){
if(!datesWithCounts[candy][i]){
datesWithCounts[candy][i] = 1
} else {
datesWithCounts[candy][i]++
}
}
}
for (let date in datesWithCounts){
if (datesWithCounts[date] > most){
most = datesWithCounts[date]
result = date
}
}
return result
}
function loopingData2() {
let most = 0
let result
let datesWithCounts = {}
//access sale dates object
let datesByCandyName = store2[`sale dates`]
//get array values
for (let candy in datesByCandyName){
for (let i = 0; i < datesByCandyName.length; i++){
if(!datesWithCounts[i]){
datesWithCounts[candy][i] = 1
} else {
datesWithCounts[candy][i]++
}
}
}
for (let date in datesWithCounts){
if (datesWithCounts[date] > most){
most = datesWithCounts[date]
result = date
}
}
return result
}
function loopingData2() {
let most = 0
let result
let datesWithCounts = {}
//access sale dates object
let datesByCandyName = store2[`sale dates`]
//get array values
for (let candy in datesByCandyName){
for (let i = 0; i < datesByCandyName[candy].length; i++){
let currentDate = datesByCandyName[candy][i]
if(!datesWithCounts[currentDate][i]){
datesWithCounts[currentDate][i] = 1
} else {
datesWithCounts[currentDate][i]++
}
}
}
for (let date in datesWithCounts){
if (datesWithCounts[date] > most){
most = datesWithCounts[date]
result = date
}
}
return result
}
It passed thank you…I’m going to try and comment it as best as I can so I understand what is happening.
function loopingData2() {
let most = 0
let result
let datesWithCounts = {}
//access sale dates object
let datesByCandyName = store2[`sale dates`]
//get array values
for (let candy in datesByCandyName){
for (let i = 0; i < datesByCandyName[candy].length; i++){
let currentDate = datesByCandyName[candy][i]
if(!datesWithCounts[currentDate]){
datesWithCounts[currentDate] = 1
} else {
datesWithCounts[currentDate]++
}
}
}
for (let date in datesWithCounts){
if (datesWithCounts[date] > most){
most = datesWithCounts[date]
result = date
}
}
return result
}
Almost done with the first week of the bootcamp…even when I struggle this bad, someone like me can seriously get to your type of efficiency? I get really down on myself a lot because I’m struggling so much.
I commented and refactored a little. Do these comments do justice to what is actually happening?
function loopingData2() {
//date result to be returned
let result
//counter to keep track of most frequent date
let most = 0
//empty object to store incremented value
let countedDates = {}
//access `sale dates` object
let candies = store2[`sale dates`]
//get array values
for (let key in candies){
//loop through every value (dates) in `sale dates` object
for (let i = 0; i < candies[key].length; i++){
//store incremented values
let currentDate = candies[key][i]
//if the incremented value is there, increment by one
if(countedDates[currentDate]){
countedDates[currentDate]++
} else {
//else equal it to 1
countedDates[currentDate] = 1
}
}
}
//block of code to check which has the most frequency
//for every date in our object
for (let date in countedDates){
//if the frequency is greater than 0
if (countedDates[date] > most){
//set most to that frequency
most = countedDates[date]
//set the most frequent date to the result
result = date
}
}
return result
}
@camperextraordinaire You are amazing, thank you, but just still being a newbie and a week into the bootcamp, I was asking if code like this is normal to get through a problem and then have it for understanding later. That’s all. As far as professional code? I wasn’t really expecting to hit that bar yet.
