Inspiration
I'm very new to coding, but I think palindromes are a very interesting concept, so I decided to create a program that worked around these.
What it does
The user types in a number, then the program returns whether the number is a palindrome or not.
How I built it
I used the site repl.it, a positive attitude, and a mix of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create this.
Challenges I ran into
When I wrote the initial program where the value input was a function property, the program worked with both text and numbers. You could put in "the eht" and it would return palindrome, or "the the" to return not-a-palindrome. However, after changing the user input to a variable retrieved from the HTML code, this stopped working. It only works with numbers now for a reason I don't know.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Learned a little of both CSS and HTML and made a working program in the end!
What I learned
I didn't know any CSS or HTML before this, so I learned not only some basics of those two languages, but also the code that allows me to access information retrieved between the three languages I used. For example, I learned to use document.write in JavaScript instead of console.log to display the text, and learned to use src in the script section of HTML to bring in my JavaScript code.
What's next for a
Figure out how to make a cleaner appearance, learn more advanced code so I can integrate the languages together in more advanced ways, Learn to code faster! Keep searching up beginner projects so I can practice and keep doing hackathons for the experience!
