Installing Node.js
Reference - ‣
There are a few ways you can install Node.js
1. Build it from Source (difficult, not recommended)
2. Use a package manager like brew , snap etc
3. Use nvm (Node Version Manager)
Node version manager
NVM is a cli (Command line interface) that lets you install/upgrade the
version of Node.js you have locally.
Step 1 - Install Node version manager
Linux/Mac
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
Windows - First install WSL, then use the same steps as above
Step 2 - Install Node
nvm install v22
Try running node

Using Node.js to do
assignments
Our assignments are present here - https://github.com/100xdevs-cohort-
3/assignments
Step 1 - Clone the repo locally. You can click the Download Zip button and
get the code locally
Unzip the folder, and open it in visual studio code
Go through the assignments README week by week and try to solve them.

Easy JS assignments for week
2
These include fairly simple algorithmic problems, each teaching you
something new
Anagram
https://github.com/100xdevs-cohort-3/assignments/blob/main/week-
2/week-2-js/easy/anagram.js
Things to learn -
toLowerCase
split
join
function isAnagram(str1, str2) {
if (str1.length !== str2.length) {
return false;a
}
const sortedStr1 = str1.toLowerCase().split('').sort().join('');
const sortedStr2 = str2.toLowerCase().split('').sort().join('');
return sortedStr1 === sortedStr2;
}
Expenditure analysis
https://github.com/100xdevs-cohort-3/assignments/blob/main/week-
2/week-2-js/easy/expenditure-analysis.js
Things to learn -
Arrays to object conversion.
Object.keys
function calculateTotalSpentByCategory(transactions) {
const categories = {};
transactions.forEach((transaction) => {
https://projects.100xdevs.com/pdf/installing-node-assignments/-1 4/14
2/16/25, 3:07 PM Projects | 100xDevs
if (!categories[transaction.category]) {
categories[transaction.category] = 0;
}
categories[transaction.category] += transaction.price;
});
return Object.keys(categories).map((category) => ({
category,
totalSpent: categories[category],
}));
}
Find largest element
https://github.com/100xdevs-cohort-3/assignments/blob/main/week-
2/week-2-js/easy/findLargestElement.js
Things to learn - nothing really
function findLargestElement(numbers) {
let largestElement = numbers[0];
for (let i = 1; i < numbers.length; i++) {
if (numbers[i] > largestElement) {
largestElement = numbers[i];
}
}
return largestElement;
}

Medium JS Assignments for
week 2
Count vowels
Things to learn -
toLowerCase
function countVowels(str) {
const vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'];
let count = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
if (vowels.includes(str[i].toLowerCase())) {
count++;
}
}
return count;
}
Palindrome
Things to learn
1. , and . should be removed from the string
2. Using filter
function isPalindrome(str) {
const lowercaseStr = str.toLowerCase();
const filteredStr = lowercaseStr.split('').filter((char) => (char !== '?' && char !==
const reversedStr = filteredStr.split('').reverse().join('');
return filteredStr === reversedStr;
}
Times
Things to learn
https://projects.100xdevs.com/pdf/installing-node-assignments/-1 6/14
2/16/25, 3:07 PM Projects | 100xDevs
1. How long does synchronous code take to run
function calculateTime(n) {
const startTime = Date.now();
let sum = 0;
for (let i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
sum += i;
}
const endTime = Date.now();
console.log(endTime - startTime);
}
calculateTime(100);

Hard JS Assignments
These involve writing your own classes
Todo List
https://projects.100xdevs.com/pdf/installing-node-assignments/-1 8/14
2/16/25, 3:07 PM Projects | 100xDevs
class Todo {
constructor() {
this.todos = [];
}
add(todo) {
this.todos.push(todo);
}
remove(indexOfTodo) {
this.todos.splice(indexOfTodo, 1);
}
update(index, updatedTodo) {
if (index < 0 || index >= this.todos.length) {
return;
}
this.todos[index] = updatedTodo;
}
getAll() {
return this.todos;
}
get(indexOfTodo) {
if (indexOfTodo < 0 || indexOfTodo >= this.todos.length) {
return null;
}
return this.todos[indexOfTodo];
}
clear() {
this.todos = [];
}
}

Easy Async assignment
These assignments dont have tests. The goal is for you to write them
yourselves and test them
Counter
Things to learn - setTimeout
let counter = 0;
function increaseAndPrint() {
console.log(counter)
counter = counter + 1;
}
setInterval(increaseAndPrint, 1000);
Counter using setTimeout
let counter = 0;
function increaseAndPrint() {
console.log(counter)
counter = counter + 1;
setTimeout(increaseAndPrint, 1000);
}
setTimeout(increaseAndPrint, 1000);
Read from a file
const fs = require('fs');
const filePath = 'a.txt';
fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf8', (err, data) => {
if (err) {
console.error('Error reading file:', err);
return;
}
console.log('File content:', data);
https://projects.100xdevs.com/pdf/installing-node-assignments/-1 10/14
2/16/25, 3:07 PM Projects | 100xDevs
// Perform the expensive operation after file read completes
});
function expensiveOperation() {
let sum = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < 1e8; i++) { // Simulating a very expensive operation
sum += i;
}
console.log('Expensive operation result:', sum);
}
expensiveOperation();
Writing to a file
const fs = require('fs');
const data = 'This is the content to write to the file.';
function expensiveOperation() {
let sum = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < 1e8; i++) { // Simulating a very expensive operation
sum += i;
}
console.log('Expensive operation result:', sum);
}
fs.writeFile("a.txt", data, (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error('Error writing file:', err);
return;
}
console.log(`Data written to a.txt`);
});
expensiveOperation();

Medium async
File cleaner
Things to learn - Doing two async operations one after another
const fs = require('fs').promises;
async function cleanFile(filename) {
try {
// Read the file
const content = await fs.readFile(filename, 'utf8');
// Remove extra spaces
const cleanedContent = content.replace(/\s+/g, ' ').trim();
// Write back to the same file
await fs.writeFile(filename, cleanedContent);
console.log(`File '${filename}' has been cleaned.`);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error.message);
}
}
// Usage
const filename = 'a.txt';
cleanFile(filename);
Clock
Things to learn -
1. Optional arguments
2. Terenary operator
function formatTime(date, use24Hour = true) {
const hours = use24Hour ? date.getHours() : (date.getHours() % 12 || 12);
const minutes = date.getMinutes().toString().padStart(2, '0');
const seconds = date.getSeconds().toString().padStart(2, '0');
https://projects.100xdevs.com/pdf/installing-node-assignments/-1 12/14
2/16/25, 3:07 PM Projects | 100xDevs
const ampm = use24Hour ? '' : (date.getHours() >= 12 ? 'PM' : 'AM');
return `${hours.toString().padStart(2, '0')}:${minutes}:${seconds}${ampm ? '
}
function displayTime() {
const now = new Date();
const time24 = formatTime(now);
const time12 = formatTime(now, false);
console.clear();
console.log(`24-hour format: ${time24}`);
console.log(`12-hour format: ${time12}`);
}
function startClock() {
displayTime();
setInterval(displayTime, 1000);
}
startClock();
console.log("Press Ctrl+C to stop the clock.");
