practicing csharp by translated to/from javascript programs

From C# to JavaScript and Back

This repository contains a collection of C# and JavaScript programs. Each program creates some data, performs some logic and prints results to the console.

C# programs are executed in the terminal using the dotnet run command. JavaScript programs are served with a web server (e.g. http-server or serve) and executed in the browser.

Your Task

For each program you are provided with either the C# or the JavaScript implementation. Your task is to read the code that is provided and translate it from one language into the other. When given a program written in C#, you should write a JavaScript program that has the same behavior. And, when given a JavaScript program, you should write a C# program.

The individual exercises are organized by folder (see links below). Each exercise folder contains a README.md and both csharp and js folders. For C# to JavaScript translations, start in the csharp folder and write your new code in the js folder. For JavaScript to C# translations go the opposite direction.

NOTE: It is very important to remember that while there are many language similarities between C# and JavaScript, this is NOT a line-for-line translation. In many cases the C# code will look markedly different from the JavaScript code. The goal is for each implementation to have the same behavior not the same code.

NOTE: It will be easiest to have multiple instances of VS Code open while working on these exercises. For example when working on the place-names exercise you should open VS Code from within each of these directories:

• translate-csharp-js/place-names/csharp/PlaceNames
• translate-csharp-js/place-names/js/placeNames

C# to JavaScript

Translate the C# code found in the exercises below into JavaScript code.

1. Place Names
2. Enemies List
3. Rolling Dice
4. Grimoire

JavaScript to C#

Translate the JavaScript code found in the exercises below into C# code.

1. Wish List
2. Insulter
3. Fizzbuzz
4. Dinner Party
5. Word Frequency

NOTE: You will need to create a new project for each program.

cd csharp
dotnet new console -o <New Project Name>
