Solution retrospective


My second project! learnt about grid and theming in this project. Feel free to resize however you want and it still looks good.

I chose to write the input in such a way that it doesn't calculate until user presses "equal" button. The input gets very long but i used element.scroll to keep input in the right place. i wrote the calculator with an array of operands and operators strings in order with a parse function to calculate it. Any advice on how to do this better? Also, any advice on my coding style would be greatly appreciated!

Disabled decimal "dot" button coz realized there are a lot of edge cases that I need to write the logic for and I got lazy. Also got lazy for the commas too. Another bad thing is Negative numbers are kind of awkward with the -ve sign stuck closely at the front. But generally am satisfied with what i made.

How does the accessibility report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use axe-core to run an automated audit of your code.

This picks out common accessibility issues like not using semantic HTML and not having proper heading hierarchies, among others.

This automated audit is fairly surface level, so we encourage to you review the project and code in more detail with accessibility best practices in mind.

How does the CSS report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use stylelint to run an automated check on the CSS code.

We've added some of our own linting rules based on recommended best practices. These rules are prefixed with frontend-mentor/ which you'll see at the top of each issue in the report.

The report will audit 1st-party linked stylesheets, and styles within <style> tags.

How does the HTML validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use html-validate to run an automated check on the HTML code.

The report picks out common HTML issues such as not using headings within section elements and incorrect nesting of elements, among others.

Note that the report can pick up “invalid” attributes, which some frameworks automatically add to the HTML. These attributes are crucial for how the frameworks function, although they’re technically not valid HTML. As such, some projects can show up with many HTML validation errors, which are benign and are a necessary part of the framework.
