Please submit all your html files and answers/screenshots to pilot • Use the checklist to make sure you submitted all files CS 1150 - Lab 2 - Exploring Number Systems 4 What is JavaScript • Client-side Scripting Language • Used to create Dynamic Web Pages • Three ways to write JavaScript Code • In HTML Header, within <SCRIPT></SCRIPT> Tags • In HTML Body, within <SCRIPT></SCRIPT> Tags • In Separate .JS file, within <SCRIPT></SCRIPT> Tags CS 1150 - Lab 2 - Exploring Number Systems 5 Writing Your First JavaScript Code HTML Code HTML Header Code <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("Hello World"); SCRIPT Tags alert("Hello World"); Writes in to HTML File Writes in to a Message Box </script> </head> HTML Body <body> </body> </html> CS 1150 - Lab 2 - Exploring Number Systems 6 Helper HTML Code • Use a new copy of this template for every section (part 1 – 4) <html> <head> <script language="javaScript"> <!-- write JavaScript code here --> CS 1150 - Lab 2 - Exploring Number Systems </script> </head> <body> </body> </html> 7 Part 2 Help • Input you read through prompt boxes are Strings • To perform arithmetic operations on numbers you read through prompt boxes, you need to first convert them to proper data types. • var x = 1 – Define variable x and sets its value to 1 • x = parseInt(x) – Converts the value stored in variable x to an Integer and stores it in variable x. CS 1150 - Lab 2 - Exploring Number Systems 8 Part 3 Help • Simple conditional (if- else) statement written in JavaScript • Run this to see how a conditional (if-else) statement works in JavaScript CS 1150 - Lab 2 - Exploring Number Systems <html> <head> <script language="javaScript"> var x = 1; if (x== 1) { document.write("x is " + x); } else { document.write("x is not 1"); } </script> </head> <body> </body> </html> 9 Part 4 Help • You Need to Do Two Tasks • Task 1 – Write a Psudo-code or a Flow Chart to Convert Temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit or from Fahrenheit to Celsius • Task 2 – Write a JavaScript Program to Convert Temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit or from Fahrenheit to Celsius CS 1150 - Lab 2 - Exploring Number Systems 10 Part 4 Help Cont. • You need minimum of three variables • Look at the screenshots given at the end to have an idea about the inputs and the output • You need to change the variables in the equations given in part 4 using the variables you defined to make temperature calculation work CS 1150 - Lab 2 - Exploring Number Systems 11 Part 5 Help • Simple for loop written in JavaScript • Run this to see how a for loop works in JavaScript CS 1150 - Lab 2 - Exploring Number Systems <html> <head> <script language="javaScript"> for (var i=0; i<2; i++) { alert("Hello " + i); } </script> </head> <body> </body> </html> 12 Part 5 Help Cont. • Copy the code shown • Identify what is; • Loop initialization step • Looping condition (test) • Loop update statement • Now replace the while loop with a for loop CS 1150 - Lab 2 - Exploring Number Systems <html> <head> <script language="javaScript"> var counter = 0; document.write("Starting Loop" + "<br />"); while (counter < 5) { document.write("Current Count : " + counter + "<br />"); counter++; } document.write("Loop stopped"); </script> </head> <body> </body> </html> 13 Extra Credit Help • Think the following three steps when writing the loop • • • • What number should you use at the loop initialization step What should be the loop test or looping condition What should be the loop updating statement Should you increase the loop condition variable or decrease it?
