I got this as my first programming ! assignment .


My name is

(add your name from two variables where you have stored your first name and last name)

Is my name longer than Tony`s

(make a if statment that check if the length of you name is longer than mine)

<script>
var firstName = "John"; // First name
var lastName = "Doe"; // Last name



//concanate(add) both names
var myFullName = firstName + lastName;



//Store Tony's name in variable
var tonysName = "Tony";




// Compare the length of your name vs Tony's

if(myFullName.length > tonysName.length)
{
document.write("My name is longer than Tony's);
}
else
if(myFullName.length == tonysName.length)
{
document.write("Both names are equal in length" );
}
else
{
document.write("My name is shorter than Tony's" );
}

I think it would be more appropriate to use console.log rather than document.write. Its a JS assignment not a Web assignment.

var firstName = "John"; // First name
var lastName = "Doe"; // Last name
//concanate(add) both names
var myFullName = firstName + lastName;
//Store Tony's name in variable
var tonysName = "Tony";
// Compare the length of your name vs Tony's
if(myFullName.length > tonysName.length)
{
console.log("My name is longer than Tony's" );
}
else
if(myFullName.length == tonysName.length)
{
console.log("Both names are equal in length" );
}
else
{
console.log("My name is shorter than Tony's" );
}

Nice. How can one run this?
Or more appropriately, how can a layman (like me) appreciate the beauty of the codes you have up there?

What do you mean by "inside a HTML file" ?

The script needs "flesh" to run. This "flesh" is an HTML file.

Now I'm confused smiley I'm actually new to this.
Don't be offended, how do I get the HTML file?
I just want to appreciate the beauty of coding.
