In-class Activities

JavaScript

As an editor for today you may want to use HTMLjive, an HTML editor, or load it from a local copy

EXERCISE 2 (Repeated from Last Class).

Let's start with a look at a simple JavaScript program by the not-so-well-known expert on JavaScript, Ben Karel a.k.a Benihana. View the source code and write a brief summary explaining how each element in the source code is supposed to function. You may want to fiddle with the code to test whether your guesses are correct.

Computing Tables of Numbers

By suitably modifying the Fibonacci JavaScript, produce a script that will compute a factorial (The factorials are 1!=1, 2!=(2)(1!)=2, 3!=(3)(2!)=6, etc.). You can email me the script or, better, put a link to it on your basic web page.

Finished?

If you have done all the above activities, and there is still time left, here are some other activities you can do.

• Help someone else.
• Hand in your paper(!!).
