JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures Portfolio

🧠 About

This repository contains a collection of projects built as part of the freeCodeCamp JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures Certification.

These projects demonstrate core JavaScript skills, including algorithmic thinking, DOM manipulation, object-oriented and functional programming, local storage usage, asynchronous JavaScript, and more.

The goal of this portfolio is to reinforce and apply foundational JavaScript knowledge through hands-on, interactive projects.

• Real-world project applications

🛠 Technologies Used

• JavaScript (ES6+)
  Core language used throughout all lessons and projects.

• HTML5 (used optionally in browser-based projects)
  Required in projects involving forms or layout such as:

  • Palindrome Checker
  • Calorie Counter
  • Cash Register
  • RPG Creature Search App

• CSS3 (optional for styling browser-based projects)
  Not required by the curriculum, but helpful for:

  • Improving UI/UX in interactive projects
  • Personalizing project appearance (e.g., Rock, Paper, Scissors UI)

• DOM API
  Used to create interactive elements and respond to user input in:

  • Rock, Paper, Scissors
  • Calorie Counter
  • Palindrome Checker
  • Dice Game
  • Shopping Cart

• Browser APIs (localStorage, fetch)
  Used in asynchronous and stateful projects:

  • Todo App (localStorage)
  • fCC Authors Page (fetch)
  • fCC Forum Leaderboard (fetch)
  • RPG Creature Search App (fetch)

• freeCodeCamp’s Test Suite
  Automatically validates project requirements and completion. Required for all certification projects.
