javascript
Parameters: weeks as an Integer
Number of weeks to be converted
Returns: String indicating the weeks converted into months and remaining weeks
This function takes an integer representing weeks as argument, converts it to equivalent months and remaining weeks, and returns an object with months and weeks as keys.
Greetings, fellow programmer! In the following sections, we're going to guide you through crafting a functional piece of code in JavaScript. The mission is to create a function that converts weeks into months and weeks respectively. No fuss, no frills, just plain old programming. So, pull up your favorite IDE and let's get started. This is going to be a great exercise to jog your conversion skills and understand the importance of basic math operations in programming.
The goal is to write a JavaScript function called convertWeeksToMonthsAndWeeks
, which will take in number of weeks as the input and convert it to months and weeks. As we know, one month is approximately 4.345 weeks. This function will return a string stating how many months and weeks the total weeks equate to.
let weeks = 10;
We start by creating our function and ensuring it can take in the weeks
variable.
function convertWeeksToMonthsAndWeeks(weeks) {
}
Inside our function, we need to do the conversion calculation. We’ll divide the input weeks by approximately 4.345, then get the floor of this to obtain the number of months. We’ll then calculate the left over weeks.
function convertWeeksToMonthsAndWeeks(weeks) {
var months = Math.floor(weeks / 4.345);
var remaining_weeks = weeks % 4.345;
}
We then format the string to return the calculated months and remaining weeks.
function convertWeeksToMonthsAndWeeks(weeks) {
var months = Math.floor(weeks / 4.345);
var remaining_weeks = Math.round(weeks % 4.345);
return months + ' month(s) and ' + remaining_weeks + ' week(s).';
}
Finally, we test our function with different inputs to ensure it works as expected.
console.log(convertWeeksToMonthsAndWeeks(10)); //Outputs '2 month(s) and 1 week(s).'
console.log(convertWeeksToMonthsAndWeeks(5)); //Outputs '1 month(s) and 1 week(s).'
In this article, we broke down the steps on how to convert weeks into months and weeks using Javascript. The key is in breaking down the problem into manageable parts - defining the function, implementing the conversion logic, formatting the output, then testing to check validity.
This function uses division and modulus operations to solve the problem. `weeks / 4` gives the number of months as in a month there are approximately 4 weeks. `weeks % 4` gives the remaining weeks after full months have been calculated.
