Does anyone enjoy coding?

[calliope.]

I love coding!! Although.. I do suck a little ;w;
I'm pretty good at HTML but everything else is terrible >w<

So I started using Coding academy and I'm learning Java script. well I have to make a game for my lesson and while it says I passed I don't like how It shows both answers for the yes response. Can you guys take a look and tell me what im doing wrong its an if/else statement.


confirm("Are you ready to play?");
age = prompt("whats your age?");
if (age < 13)
{
console.log("You are allowed to play but it is discouraged.");
}
else
{
console.log("Get ready to play! You'll do great!");
}
console.log("You are at a Justin Bieber concert, and you hear this lyric 'Lace my shoes off, start racing.'");
console.log("Suddenly, Bieber stops and says, 'Who wants to race me?'");

var userAnswer = prompt("Do you want to race Bieber on stage?");
if
(userAnswer === "yes")
{
console.log("You and Bieber start racing. It's neck and neck! You win by a shoelace!");
}
else
(userAnswer === "no");
{
console.log("Oh no! Bieber shakes his head and sings 'I set a pace, so I can race without pacing.'");
}

var feedback = prompt("How much did you like this game? 1-10");
if
(feedback >= 8)
{
console.log("Thank you! We should race at the next concert!");
}
else
(feedback <=7)
{
console.log("I'll keep practicing coding and racing.");
}

**DISCLAMER I do not like Justin Beiber. I had to use this scenario thing for the game.... When I'm done I'm going to edit the strings so that they say a more likeable celebrity.

I'm going to point out that I know Java, but not Javascript, so this might be a little off.

You don't actually need if/else statements here, and using a bunch of if statements should actually make your program run smoother.

Else statements- at least in Java- don't need things after them. As in-

else
(feedback <=7)
{
console.log("I'll keep practicing coding and racing.");
}

Doesn't need (feedback <= 7) because else covers everything that wasn't in the previous if statement. So you really just need-

else
{
console.log("I'll keep practicing coding and racing.");
}

- But the other way to make an effective statement like this- at least in Java, still don't know Javascript, I'll look that up after school for you and make sure I'm giving you good information- is to just turn them all into if statements- aside from your very first if statement for determining age.

if(feedback <=7)
{
console.log("I'll keep practicing coding and racing.");
}

Hope this helped a bit!

Well for the feedback it prompts the user for an answer 1-10 on how much they like it. and based on their answer it supposed to show only one. either "Thank You! We should race at the next concert!" OR "I'll keep practicing coding and racing." If the person rates it 7 or below it shows the latter and if they rate it 8 or more it shows the former and the latter.

Same with the "Do you want to race beiber" Prompt. If you say no it only shows
"Oh no! Bieber shakes his head and sings 'I set a pace, so I can race without pacing."
But if you choose yes it shows both
"You and Bieber start racing. It's neck and neck! You win by a shoelace!"
"Oh no! Bieber shakes his head and sings 'I set a pace, so I can race without pacing.' "

I'm following how Codeacadamy is teaching it to me with the If/else statements. The purpose of they way its sat up is so the coding it tighter. It's supposed to limit unwanted bugs but some good its doing for me right now. :p

Hey html experts, ive snagged a problem and have been trouble shooting, anyone wanna help?

[Cyska]

I don't mind coding -- when it works for me. I can do HTML, CSS, ActionScript, and I have done a little bit in PHP. I do much better in the art field, but I have to do some coding for my website, so I just roll up my sleeves and do the best I can. It's really rewarding to get things to function properly!

@SilverLaliac, it looks fine to me. ^^ Though if you're looking for filler text, use Hello World or lorem impsum. c:

Anyone around with professional PHP and MySQL skills? WP experts?
