calculateDistanceTraveled()

Step 1: Understand the Problem

Before we get started with the actual coding, it's important to understand what the function is supposed to do. The function calculateDistanceTraveled is supposed to return the total distance traveled given speed and time. In the context of physics, this is a straightforward problem. The total distance traveled is simply the speed multiplied by the time.

Step 2: Declare the Function

Now we'll declare the function calculateDistanceTraveled in Javascript. It will accept two parameters, speed and time.

Here's how we can do it:

 function calculateDistanceTraveled(speed, time) {

 }

Step 3: Implement the Calculation

Now that we've declared our function, we will tell it to do the calculation. As previously established, the distance traveled is equal to speed multiplied by time.

So inside the function, we shall return the product of speed and time.

 function calculateDistanceTraveled(speed, time) {
     return speed * time;
 }

Step 4: Test the Function

It's always a good practice to test your function with a few examples to make sure it is working correctly. Let's check our function by providing it with some speed and time parameters and checking the returned values.

 console.log(calculateDistanceTraveled(10, 2));  // Expected output: 20
 console.log(calculateDistanceTraveled(60, 1));  // Expected output: 60

Step 5: Conclusion

And that's it! We now have a function that can calculate the total distance traveled given its speed and time. Remember, programming is all about solving problems, and once you understand the problem clearly, the coding part becomes a lot simpler.

 function calculateDistanceTraveled(speed, time) {
     return speed * time;
 }

 console.log(calculateDistanceTraveled(10, 2));  // Output: 20
 console.log(calculateDistanceTraveled(60, 1));  // Output: 60

This function will work for any positive numerical inputs, and will use standard computations in physics to compute the distance traveled. Happy Coding!
