Description

Functional programming is a style of programming where solutions are simple, isolated functions, without any side effects outside of the function scope. INPUT -> PROCESS -> OUTPUT Functional programming is about: 1) Isolated functions - there is no dependence on the state of the program, which includes global variables that are subject to change 2) Pure functions - the same input always gives the same output 3) Functions with limited side effects - any changes, or mutations, to the state of the program outside the function are carefully controlled

Instructions

The members of freeCodeCamp happen to love tea. In the code editor, the prepareTea and getTea functions are already defined for you. Call the getTea function to get 40 cups of tea for the team, and store them in the tea4TeamFCC variable.

Tests

tests:
  - text: The <code>tea4TeamFCC</code> variable should hold 40 cups of tea for the team.
    testString: assert(tea4TeamFCC.length === 40);
  - text: The <code>tea4TeamFCC</code> variable should hold cups of green tea.
    testString: assert(tea4TeamFCC[0] === 'greenTea');

Challenge Seed

/**
 * A long process to prepare tea.
 * @return {string} A cup of tea.
 **/
const prepareTea = () => 'greenTea';

/**
 * Get given number of cups of tea.
 * @param {number} numOfCups Number of required cups of tea.
 * @return {Array<string>} Given amount of tea cups.
 **/
const getTea = (numOfCups) => {
  const teaCups = [];

  for(let cups = 1; cups <= numOfCups; cups += 1) {
    const teaCup = prepareTea();
    teaCups.push(teaCup);
  }

  return teaCups;
};

// Add your code below this line

const tea4TeamFCC = null; // :(

// Add your code above this line

console.log(tea4TeamFCC);

Solution

// solution required
const prepareTea = () => 'greenTea';

const getTea = (numOfCups) => {
  const teaCups = [];
  
  for(let cups = 1; cups <= numOfCups; cups += 1) {
    const teaCup = prepareTea();
    teaCups.push(teaCup);
  }

  return teaCups;
};

const tea4TeamFCC = getTea(40);
