ES6- const & let are block level scoped variables

Block level means anything between curly braces. Variable defined within the curly braces will only be recognized there.

As for 'var', it is not block level scoped so it will be a global variable unless it is inside a function.

Code Wars: String incrementer

https://www.codewars.com/kata/54a91a4883a7de5d7800009c/train/javascript Your job is to write a function which increments a string, to create a new string. If the string already ends with a number, the number should be incremented by 1. If the string does not end with a number the number 1 should be appended to the new string. Examples: foo -> foo1 foobar23 -> foobar24 foo0042 -> foo0043 foo9 -> foo10 foo099 -> foo100 Attention: If the number has leading zeros the amount of digits should be considered. My Solution:  function incrementString (strng) {   let regex = /[0-9]/g;   let index = strng.search(regex);   let arr = [];      //split string at where a number first appears   if (index === -1 || strng === "") {     return strng + "1";   }   else arr.push( strng.substring(0, index), strng.substring(index, strng.length) );      //loop through element of ...

Code Wars: Replace With Alphabet Position

https://www.codewars.com/kata/546f922b54af40e1e90001da/train/javascript Welcome. In this kata you are required to, given a string, replace every letter with its position in the alphabet. If anything in the text isn't a letter, ignore it and don't return it. "a" = 1 ,  "b" = 2 , etc. Example alphabet_position( "The sunset sets at twelve o' clock." ) Should return  "20 8 5 19 21 14 19 5 20 19 5 20 19 1 20 20 23 5 12 22 5 15 3 12 15 3 11"  (as a string) function alphabetPosition(text) {   //split string into array of letters only   let sentence = text.toLowerCase().split("");   for (let i = sentence.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {     if(sentence[i].match(/[a-z]/) === null) {       sentence.splice(i, 1);     }   }   //create an array of alphabets (97 represents lower case "a", 65 would be "A")   let alphaArr = [];   for (let i = 0; i < 26; i++) {     alpha...

Code Wars: Find the odd int

https://www.codewars.com/kata/54da5a58ea159efa38000836/train/javascript Given an array, find the int that appears an odd number of times. There will always be only one integer that appears an odd number of times. function findOdd(A) {   let arr = A.sort((a,b) => a - b);   let counter = 1;     if (arr.length === 1) return arr[0];     for (let i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i++) {         if (arr[i] === arr[i + 1]) {       counter++;     }     else if (arr[i] !== arr[i + 1]) {             if (counter % 2 !== 0) {         return arr[i];       }       // if it turns out to be last number in array with a count of 1 (since for loop doesnt get to it)       else if (i + 1 === arr.length - 1) {         return arr[i + 1];       }       count...
