1- Minimum
function min(a,b){
if(a>b) a=b;
return a;
}

2-Recursion
function isEven(num){
var ret=false;

if(num<0){
console.log(“Please enter a positive number”);
return;
}
else if(num==0)
ret=true;
else if(num==1)
ret=false;
else
ret=isEven(num-2);

   return ret;
 }

3–Bean counting
3-1

if(str[counter]==“B”)
count++;
}
return count
}

3-2-
var count=0;

}
return count
}

Simply put a return behind isEven(x) in line 5 and it would work for numbers bigger than 0.
return isEven(x).

Navi · June 7, 2018, 12:59pm

1. Minimum

               function min(x, y) {
			if (x < y) {
				return x;
			} else if (y < x) {
				return y;
			} else {
				document.write("Given numbers are equal");
				return x;
			}
		}

2. Recursion

		function isEven(x) {
			if(x < 0) {
				return "Please provide a positive whole number";
			} else if (x.toString().indexOf(".") >= 0) {
				return "Please provide a positive whole number";
			} else if (x == 0) {
				return true;
			} else if (x == 1) {
				return false;
			}
			return isEven(x - 2);
		}

3. BEAN Counting

		function countBs(str) {
			var counter = 0;
			const letter = "B";
			for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
				if (str[i] == letter) {
				 counter++;
				}
			}
			return counter;
		}
		
		
		function countChar(str, findChar) {
			var counter = 0;
			for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
				if (str[i] == findChar) {
				 counter++;
				}
			}
			return counter;
		}

Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm!

function min(a,b){

return Math.min(a,b);

}

console.log(min(3,5));

satoshispockamoto · June 7, 2018, 11:35pm

Math Min:
var n1= 1, n2= 50, n3= 100;
var answer = Math.max (n1, n2);
var answer2 = Math.min (n1, n2);
document.write("Max is: " + answer);
document.write("
Min is: " + answer2);
answer = Math.max(n1, Math.max(n2, n3));
document.write("
Max between three is: " +answer);

Recursion:
function isEven(i){
var s =false;

if(i<0){
console.log(“Enter positive number”);
return;
}
else if(i==0);
s=true;
else if(i==1);
s=false;
else
ret=isEven(i-2);
}
return s;
}

Having a little bit of trouble with this one, where are my errors?

Bean Counter:
function countBs(string){
for (let counter=0; counter<=string.length-1; counter++){
if(string[counter]==char)
count++;
}
return count
}

I think I have a good grasp of the third. Please let me know if you find any errors in my answers.

Here are my solutions to the chapter 3 exercises…

Minimum

function minimum(a, b) {
	if (a < b) return a;
	return b;
}

Recursion

function isEven(number) {

	if (number >= 0) {
		if (number == 0) {
			return true;
		} else if (number == 1) {
			return false;
		} else {
			return (isEven(number - 2));	
		}		
	}

	console.log("Not a positive, whole number");
}

Bean Counting

function countChar(word, char) {

	let count = 0;

	for (var i = 0; i < word.length; i++) {
		if(char == word[i]) count++;
	}

	return count;
}

Here are my answer -

Minimum

function min(x,y) {

  return (x>y? y: x);


}

console.log("min 4 5 = " + min(4,5));
console.log("min 9 3 = " + min(9,3));
console.log("min 6 6 = " + min(6,6));

Recursion

function isEven(N) {

  N = Math.abs(N);

  if (N == 0) {
            return true;
  }

  if(N == 1) {
          return false;
  }

  if(N>1) {}
  return  isEven(N-2);

}

console.log("is -22 even " + isEven(-22));

Bean Count

function beancount(st,stfind) {

  var count = 0;

for (var i = 0; i < st.length; i++) {
  if(st[i]==stfind){ count++ }
}

return count;

}

console.log("this is a test in javascript " + beancount(“this is a test in javascript”,“a”));
