This challenge will test your ability to work with nested Objects and Arrays.
Uses real-world 'inspired' data.
If you are experienced on this topic, expand the "💡 Challenge Yourself!" section (following the instructions.)

Task: Complete the 10+ functions in index.js and pass all tests specified in test/index.test.js ✅
The difficulty increases as you progress.
Before you begin coding, review test data below

💡 Challenge Yourself! (expand for stretch tips)
- Research & use different patterns. (Destructuring, move common code into reusable helper methods, functional programming techniques)
- Trade completed code with a peer:
- Pair program: Take turns (30-60 min.) working through a refactor. Talk through & optimize as needed.
- Trade code for feedback! (Example format: 3&1, 3 things that you liked and 1 to improve.)
- Time yourself. See if you can beat your own time starting over. Speed run!
- See how many tests you can pass/complete before Googling or asking for help.
- When you're finished, refactor & improve readability. Write up why it is improved.
3 options are included below.
The CodeSandbox option is fast & highly recommended.
1. Fastest Option
2. Local Setup Instructions: From Command Line
- Fork & clone to your local computer
cdinto your newly cloned repository- Install using
npm - Run test command
git clone <insert your git clone url here>
cd <repo folder name>
npm install
npm run test:watch
#####
### Or without fs watching:
# npm testNOTE: In local development, use the file watcher command: npm run test:watch.
3. Local Setup Instructions: Run Tests in Browser
- Fork & clone to your local computer
cdinto your newly cloned repository- Install and Start using
npm
git clone <insert your git clone url here>
cd <repo folder name>
npm install
npm startExample data your code will be tested against.

}- Critical: Don't make assumptions about input data types. (Convert/handle
Numbers&null)- Convert number strings into actual numbers with built-in functions
parseInt,parseFloat,Number, etc.
- Convert number strings into actual numbers with built-in functions
- Ensure your functions
return somethingUseful. - Make sure you understand the requirements. All the words used? Try list the steps in comments first.
- Don't forget the source data uses
snake_casenaming. - Pay close attention to array vs. object syntax (
vehicles[0].namevs.character.vehicles.) - Some of the functions include detailed instructions.
- You might have to infer the desired fields. Carefully read the description and function name (description included above the function.)
