# JavaScript - II

With some basic JavaScript principles in hand, we can now expand our skills out even further by exploring callback functions, array methods, and closure. Finish each task in order as the concepts build on one another.

## Task 1: Set Up The Project With Git

* [ ] Fork the project into your GitHub user account
* [ ] Clone the forked project into a directory on your machine
* [ ] You are now ready to build this project with your preferred IDE
* [ ] To test your `console.log()` statements, open up the index.html file found in the assignments folder and use the developer tools to view the console.

## Task 2: Callbacks

This task focuses on getting practice with callback functions by giving you an array of values and instructions on what to do with that array.

* [ ] Review the contents of the [callbacks.js](assignments/callbacks.js) file. Notice you are given an array at the top of the page. Use that array to aid you with your callback functions.

* [ ] Write out each function using the `ES5` `function` keyword syntax.

## Task 3: Array Methods

Use `.forEach()`, `.map()`, `.filter()`, and `.reduce()` to loop over an array with 50 objects in it. The [array-methods.js](assignments/array-methods.js) file contains several challenges built around a fundraising 5K fun run event.

* [ ] Notice the last three problems are up to you to create and solve. This is an awesome opportunity for you to push your critical thinking about array methods, have fun with it.

## Task 4: Closures

We have learned that closures allow us to access values in scope that have already been invoked.
We have learned that closures allow us to access values in scope that have already been invoked.

**Hint: Utilize debugger statements in your code in combination with your developer tools to easily identify closure values.**

* [ ] Once you have completed this task please submit a pull request against the original fork.

## Stretch Goals

* [ ] Arrow Function Syntax - [Check out this awesome guide for ES6 arrow syntax](https://medium.freecodecamp.org/when-and-why-you-should-use-es6-arrow-functions-and-when-you-shouldnt-3d851d7f0b26). You will see more and more arrow functions as you progress deeper into JavaScript. Use the [stretch-function-conversion.js](assignments/function-conversion.js) file as a helper challenge to showcase some of the differences between ES5 and ES6 syntax.
