Javascript “Word Blanks” challenge issue + main problem with FCC??/

Samstag, 12. Mai 2018 13:32:37

Hello,
I feel like this challenge is not clear enough and is introducing concepts that were not used before. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the bottom “wordBlanks” variable an object? How about the function?
It was not clear to me if I had to use something like wordBlanks = adding the variables to create the sentence or use result variable. Why even declare result initially as =""? And then, why is wordBlanks at the bottom. How does Javascript execute this? The function first and then replaces the words with the ones at the bottom? Many things that leave room to interpretation. You are taking a beginner, introducing him into variables, operators, strings and then jump into function and objects.

I mean it’s really frustrating because thank god I have 4 lessons where I have to type like a first grader every operator out there (I get that += does the opposite of -=, no need for separate lesson for these), but I’m somehow supposed to know suddenly function and what result="" does.

I think some refinements in challenges would really help. This specific lesson also does not have a proper target/goal/end request. I searched through many resources. but did not find about this. If anyone can suggest me it would be great.


Any help wll be appreciated.
Thank you
