Guesser

This is a simple game where you're given a letter and you have to guess its index number.

  • In Guesser.js, define a function called letterGuesser.
  • Inside your function, create an array of letters from "a" to "z" and save this array to a variable.
  • Using Math.random(), generate a random number between 0 and the length of your alphabet array. Save this number to a variable.
  • Use that random number as an index to select the correlating letter from your alphabet array.
  • Using string interpolation and prompt(), inform the user what letter they have received, ask the user to guess the letter's index number, and save that guess to a variable.
  • Make sure the guess's data type is a number!
  • Use conditional logic to check if the user's guess matches the actual index of the random letter. If it does, use alert() to tell them that they're a genius at the alphabet; if it doesn't match, tell them that they need to learn their ABCs and use string interpolation to give them the correct answer.
  • Call letter_guesser.
  • Save your work, go to the browser, and refresh to run the file you just created.

The result should look something like this:

Your letter is c. Guess c's index number.

You definitely know the alphabet!

Prompt: Your letter is z. Guess z's index number.

incorrect, you will have to re-learn the abc's. The index of z is actually 25.
