Dear stackoverflowers,
Could someone help me further with this excercise:
Throw a dice 40 times. The throws has to be put in an array. If a throw is the same as the previous one, it has to be grouped between brackets. It'll cost you 1 point per throw, and if you throw two the same numbers in a row, you get 5 points. Print the info out for the user(like: "Congratz! You earned 5 points") , and how many points the user has left. I dont really know from how many points the user starts but lets just give it 40.
This is my code so far
<html>
<head>
<script>
function rollDice() {
var die1 = document.getElementById("die1");
var status = document.getElementById("status");
var d1 = Math.floor(Math.random()*6) +1;
console.log("You rolled "+d1+".");
if(d1)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="die1" class="dice">0</div>
<button onclick="rollDice()"> Roll the dice </button>
<h2 id="status" style="clear:left":> </h2>
</body>
Id like to know how to put this into an array and if a throw is the same as the previous one, it logs to the console 5 points. I'm a beginner so please bear with me.
Thanks in advance,
Youssef
YOu can declare an array as follows:
To add something to an array:
To check previous result for equality. Note shoudl also check the previous element exists in the array.
Hope that gets you started. W3cschools is a great way to get started
