JavaScript JavaScript Loops Working with 'for' Loops The Refactor Challenge ā€“ Duplicate Code

My Refactor Challenge Solution

Hi all šŸ‘‹šŸ»,

const main = document.querySelector('main');

for (let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
  const randomRGB = `rgb(${Array.from({ length: 3 }, () => Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)).join(', ')})`;
  main.innerHTML += `<div style="background-color: ${randomRGB}">${i}</div>`;
}

Think this is quite concise! I know if we're following the track we haven't got to arrays yet, but I'm just in the process of restarting my journey to learn JavaScript, so I've applied some previously gained knowledge here!

Also been trying to make improvements the challenges given in the track so far, if anyone is interested, I've added repos to my GitHub, which are accessible through my profile page.

Nice job Berian Lowe . I like the idea of enhancing the projects and putting on Github. You are building a nice little porfolio there. Keep up the good work!

That's pretty clever! ā€ƒ :+1:

But if you're going for concise, instead of the object with explicit length ({ length: 3 }) you could just have an array literal ([1,2,3]). And then, since you have an array to begin with, you can compact it even more by just calling map on it directly:

  const randomRGB = `rgb(${[1,2,3].map(() => Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)).join(', ')})`;

ā€ƒ :wink:
