Tip-Calculator

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

This project was an excellent opportunity to apply and solidify my understanding of JavaScript fundamentals. Building this tip calculator helped me grasp essential concepts like:

• DOM manipulation and event handling
• Working with form inputs and real-time calculations
• State management in vanilla JavaScript
• Conditional logic and error handling
• Number formatting and precision

It took me quite a while to fully understand how JavaScript functions work together in a real-world application. The concept of event listeners and how they trigger state changes that affect the UI was particularly challenging at first. I had to put in significant effort to understand how to properly structure my code and ensure that all calculations update correctly when any input changes.

Through persistent practice and debugging, I eventually developed a solid understanding of how to create interactive web applications with JavaScript. This project taught me the importance of writing clean, maintainable code and handling edge cases properly.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

The challenge that I had was to refactor the functionality so that I would not repeat myself and always think about the big picture.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

If there is a way to combine the functionality of JavaScript and make it even cleaner code.
