Hey guys, I completed the challenge but still confused.
const tabsBeforeIndex = this.tabs.splice(0, index); // Get the tabs before the tab
const tabsAfterIndex = this.tabs.splice(index + 1); // Get the tabs after the tab
could anyone explain to me what these code lines mean?
tabsBeforeIndex - > saved tabs before I even opened the window?
tabsAfterIndex → tabs after window is opened?
Ty.
Your code so far
// tabs is an array of titles of each site open within the window
const Window = function(tabs) {
this.tabs = tabs; // We keep a record of the array inside the object
};
// When you join two windows into one window
Window.prototype.join = function(otherWindow) {
this.tabs = this.tabs.concat(otherWindow.tabs);
return this;
};
// When you open a new tab at the end
Window.prototype.tabOpen = function(tab) {
this.tabs.push('new tab'); // Let's open a new tab for now
return this;
};
// When you close a tab
Window.prototype.tabClose = function(index) {
// Only change code below this line
const tabsBeforeIndex = this.tabs.splice(0, index); // Get the tabs before the tab
const tabsAfterIndex = this.tabs.splice(index + 1); // Get the tabs after the tab
this.tabs = tabsBeforeIndex.concat(tabsAfterIndex); // Join them together
// Only change code above this line
return this;
};
// Let's create three browser windows
const workWindow = new Window(['GMail', 'Inbox', 'Work mail', 'Docs', 'freeCodeCamp']); // Your mailbox, drive, and other work sites
const socialWindow = new Window(['FB', 'Gitter', 'Reddit', 'Twitter', 'Medium']); // Social sites
const videoWindow = new Window(['Netflix', 'YouTube', 'Vimeo', 'Vine']); // Entertainment sites
// Now perform the tab opening, closing, and other operations
const finalTabs = socialWindow
.tabOpen() // Open a new tab for cat memes
.join(videoWindow.tabClose(2)) // Close third tab in video window, and join
.join(workWindow.tabClose(1).tabOpen());
console.log(finalTabs.tabs);
