EME 6930 Assignment #II:
Data and Decision-Making

Objective: Create an original program that uses multiple groups of controls (such as radio buttons, check boxes, etc.) and JS selection structures to collect data from a user, perform some kind of processing on those data, and provide some kind of qualitative response that depends upon the result of the data processing. Also, use dialog boxes to collect some appropriate text data from the user (prompt), and to display pop-up messages (alert) or to offer options to the user (confirm).

Follow the steps below on paper first (with a calculator). Then try it with the form.

After the calculation is complete, think of an American State that begins with your letter.

Now think of a State that begins with the next letter of the alphabet

.

Notes: This form accepts the users name in the prompt and writes it near the bottom of the game.

The random number function uses the math.random() function, multiplies by 9 to get a number between .09 and .89, adds .5 to get a number that will round up (or down) to a number between 1 and 9

When the user submits the number, the form validates that they submitted a number, that the number was between 1 and 9 and that the number does not contain a decimal point.

The math fills in the rest of the form. It is mostly basic arithmetic, except for the parsing of the number to add the sum of the digits in step 8, which then checks to make sure the answer is a single digit - with the numbers 2 and 7, the return at that point is 25.
