String repeat in JavaScript

-
String repeat is a function that can be used to multiply a string for a given number of times, its a feature that is closely related to string multiplication operator in Python programming language, as compared to Python's syntax;

("String") * (number of times to repeat)
"A" * 3
// returns "AAA"

Something similar may be archived using string repeat function in JavaScript as;

("String").repeat(number Of times to repeat)

For example to triple "A" you can do as;

"A".repeat(3)

Practical example is with lyrics;

const part = "i feel you, "
const lyrics = part.repeat(4) + " A, B, C"
// "i feel you, i feel you, i feel you, i feel you, A, B, C"

How to create zip archives in nodejs

-
I'm going to compile ways in which you can create archives compressed using zip algorithm in nodejs or a similar JavaScript runtime. node-zip is an open source zip archiving utility authord by daraosn and folked from jszip capable of compresding files into a zip archive and extracting zip archives in JavaScript. node-zip is available on npm you can install it in your terminal window by typing; npm install node-zip example usage const  zip = new require('node-zip')() zip.file('test.file', 'John Swana') const data = zip.generate({base64:false,compression:'DEFLATE'}) console.log(data) How to unzip a zip archive const zip = new require('node-zip')(data, {base64: false, checkCRC32: true}) console.log(zip.files['test.file'])

JavaScript math constants

-
In JavaScript Math is a global object with mathematical functions and constants. Math object is extendible. for instance to make a function to calculate cuboid of a given number. Math['cuboid'] = function(number) {     return number * number * number } or defining a constant Math['some_constant'] = value; You can use your new function like any other function ie console.log(Math.cuboid(3)) // returns 27 console.log(Math.some_constant) // returns value Math.E Euler's constant and the base of natural logarithms; console.log(Math.E) // returns 2.718281828459045 Math.LN2 Natural logarithm of 2; console.log(Math.LN2) // returns 0.6931471805599453 Math.LN10 Natural logarithm of 10; console.log(Math.LN10) // returns 2.302585092994046 Math.LOG2E Base 2 logarithm of E; console.log(Math.LOG2E) // returns 1.4426950408889634 Math.LOG10E Base 10 logarithm of E; console.log(Math.LOG10E) // returns 0.4342944819032518 Math.PI Ratio of the...

FlappingBird is a single player arcade-style game in which the player controls the bird, which moves persistently to the right. The player is tasked with navigating the bird through pairs of trees that have equally sized gaps placed at random heights. the bird automatically gravitates and only ascends when the player taps the touchscreen or spacebar. Each successful pass through a pair of trees awards the player one point. Colliding with a tree or the ground ends the gamepl...
