This lab will give you practice with variables, console.log, user input and concatenation. The javascript function console.log allows us to easily display pre-written messages. By adding variables, we're able alter parts of those messages without changing the core of our code. We've seen how variables can be concatenated with strings to make custom messages. In this lab, you will be creating a Mad Libs game to get more comfortable with concatenation and have some fun!
If you've never played Mad Libs before, here's how it generally works.
One person holds a story that contains blanks, each with a suitable part of speech written under it (verb, adverb, noun, adjective etc.). They ask a friend to supply them with words that match each parts of speech, without letting that friend see the story, writing the words onto the blanks as they go. When they get to the end, they read their ridiculous creation aloud.Click on the file on the file named madlibs.js. Follow the steps outlined at the top of the file to help you create a Mad Libs game that you can share with others. Run your code often to make sure it's working. Happy coding!
