javascript mission 3

[CovertMagic]

As more of this thread seems devoted to technical issues that actually solving the mission:

Chrome 28.0.1500.52 - - no worky
Firefox 21.0 - - worky

There seems to be a technically correct solution which is a few characters shorter than the real answer... golf, anyone?

Thanks exercise... For pointing out I'm retarded. I guess I had it coming. Good thing I came here maybe it's not too late to fix that mess in my head...

Well this mission the third java script mission i can't seem to pass, i been doing javascript for the past 4 days or so. I have tried doing all the math, and adding even functions to it which i doubt works. People say you don't even need to do the math. Are they trolling or is there no math to be done? becasue i'm sure there is.

I'll give you a hint: x is the text you type.

You do have to do the math. Just plug the answer you get in each equation into the next equation, but don't go too far.

the % sign represents "modulo"

Damn! Ok.... I get it! I guess I should have read the code a bit closer! Good one though, my compliments to the coder!!

I have no idea what to do with the % sign in this... or the . I flunked out of high school, so any help would be nice.

In case you still need to know this the operater is called modulo. It gives you the remainder after a divison.

I recommend looking a bit into this course so you get the basics of JS down.

its easy when you lern diference between string and number.

length of string "two" = 3
but length of number 333 is not 3

I hope this helps a lot because this strugle me a lot until I figured out

Is it just me, or is (foo % 8)*2 actually 2 digits less than the official answer?
