Approach to solving coding challenges
- My general approach to solve coding challenges is to focus on easy and medium level ones first.
- To solve the challenge, an array of strings needs to be pushed with new strings and checked that there are no duplicates in the list.
- The mechanics for this process can be narrowed down to array manipulation and string normalization.
- JavaScript library such as MDN can provide useful information to help solve the challenge.
- Hints provided by the coding challenge can also provide helpful suggestions for tackling the challenge.
- The Scrimba's Javascriptmas event is an example of easy and short challenges that can aid in boosting confidence in one's coding skills.
- The initial code for the challenge only requires to fix a small issue, hence checking the rest of the code for the application may not be as necessary.
- There are also stretch goals for the challenge like checking for case sensitivity and adding the functionality to edit/delete list items.
- Taking the code from the challenge and turning it into a personal project is encouraged to continue practicing and improving your coding skills.
- The article provides a good approach to solving similar coding challenges by understanding the problem, then breaking it down into smaller comprehensible parts and utilizing available resources for guidance.
