Make sure you make this into a playlist. This is damn good.

[Cognitoman]

This is actually pretty dope. I’m liking the series

[eduardoocrespo]

This looks like it will be a useful playlist

It's such a great tutorial video. In the 'incrementalBackups' code example, I think we can turn the nested 2 ifs into a flat compound and if for a a little bit more readability.

This is why we need unit tests.
6:11 The function now returns 1 or num * (num - 1) if I'm not misstaken.
This, since you didn't rename the other num variable in the loop.

[Metruzanca]

This is so good. Especially at 12:18 (ish)

[Heffsta]

very helpful thank you, I was just a bit confused about the extra variables in the function separated by the colon, can anyone explain what that does?

[MrTheBroMoe]

Should we ever use underscores in naming variables or functions?

[johnn]

Simplify this:
(NOTE: this is an index to sort dates, and the function receives the following string format:
"01/03/2017 1:46 PM", the time was not needed of course)


function db(date){
var yearReg=/[0-9]{4}/ // match 2019
var // "2019" from [];
var yearValue=parseInt(yearString, 0)*1000; //2019 * to mult
var dayReg1=/\/[0-9]{2}\//; //match /03/
var dayReg2=/[0-9]{2}/; // match 03 within /03/
var
var
var dayValue=parseInt(dayString2, 0)*1;
var monthReg1=/[0-9]{2}\//;
var monthReg2=/[0-9]{2}/;
var // [/09]
var
var monthValue=parseInt(monthString2, 0)*100;


var
return final
}

Why is it bad practice to reassign the num variable?

[mudshark]

Count was NOT doing nothing. You kept the original value in count to use as a criteria to exit the loop.
What you did when you eliminated count was creating an infinite loop @ 4:30
