Hello.
I completed the task with the creation of the Silly story generator.
I will be very grateful to you if you can point me to the mistakes that I could have made. Is it possible to make this code better?
Thank`s a lot.
const customName = document.getElementById('customname');
const randomize = document.querySelector('.randomize');
const story = document.querySelector('.story');
function randomValueFromArray(array){
const random = Math.floor(Math.random()*array.length);
return array[random];
}
var storyText = 'It was 94 fahrenheit outside, so :insertx: went for a walk. When they got to :inserty:, they stared in horror for a few moments, then :insertz:. Bob saw the whole thing, but was not surprised — :insertx: weighs 300 pounds, and it was a hot day.';
var insertX = ['Willy the Goblin', 'Big Daddy', 'Father Christmas'];
var insertY = ['the soup kitchen', 'Disneyland', 'the White House'];
var insertZ = ['spontaneously combusted', 'melted into a puddle on the sidewalk', 'turned into a slug and crawled away'];
randomize.addEventListener('click', result);
function result() {
var newStory = storyText;
xItem = randomValueFromArray(insertX);
yItem = randomValueFromArray(insertY);
zItem = randomValueFromArray(insertZ);
for(var i = 0; i < 2; i++){
newStory = newStory.replace(':insertx:', xItem);
}
newStory = newStory.replace(':inserty:', yItem);
newStory = newStory.replace(':insertz:', zItem);
if(customName.value !== '') {
let name = customName.value;
newStory = newStory.replace('Bob', name);
}
if(document.getElementById("uk").checked) {
let weight = (Math.round(300 / 14) + ' stone');
let temperature = (Math.round((94 - 32) * 5 / 9) + ' centigrade');
console.log(temperature)
newStory = newStory.replace('94 fahrenheit', temperature);
newStory = newStory.replace('300 pounds', weight);
}
story.textContent = newStory;
story.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
