These are a series of javascript exercises intended to be used alongside the curriculum at 'The Odin Project' They start very simply, but get more involved as you progress through them.
There will eventually be a suggested order of completion, but at this time since we are still in the process of creating more exercises the order is subject to change and has not yet been specified... In general however there are a couple which make a good "starting point" feel free to at least start with these:
1. Hello World
1. Repeat String
1. Reverse String

## HOW TO USE THESE EXERCISES
Before you start you should have a few things installed on your machine:

1. NodeJS. To check if you have it type `node -v` in a terminal. If you get back a number bigger than `6` that means you've got it installed. Best way to install node is with NVM. Check link for instructions [here](https://github.com/creationix/nvm#install-script)

2. Jasmine. Jasmine is a testing framework for Javascript. Type `jasmine -v` to check for it. If you need to install it type `npm install -g jasmine` to do so.
Each exercise includes 3 files, a markdown file with a description of the task, an empty (or mostly empty) javascript file, and a set of tests. To complete the exercise go to the exercise directory in a terminal and run `jasmine filename.spec.js`. This should find and run the test file and show you the output. Upon first running the tests you will find that the tests fail: this is by design! Your task is to open up the javascript file and write the code needed to get all of the tests to pass.

The first exercise, `helloWorld` will walk you through the process in more depth.
