Reflection
When writing the code, I was wondering some ways on how to make my code much efficient. So I used my previous knowledge in Javascript functions to properly simplify the process of code writing. The activity just made me realize some similarities from when I was studying Javascript independently in the past.
There were some quirks and problems in the this activity that I encountered early on. For example, I was wondering if there is an easier way to center text in the console. In some ways, alignment becomes some of the main problems in displaying code.
In general, the code for me might seem to look a little inefficient, which proves to me that there are some things that I have yet to understand. This, all by itself, tells that there are still room for improvement.

}Explanation
The code uses user-defined functions:
isPassed(avg)- A function that returns the string
"PASSED"if the integeraverageis greater than75, and returns"FAILED"otherwise.
- A function that returns the string
round(num, placeValue)- A function that returns a float rounded at a specific place value.
- The
placeValueargument is an integer.- If
placeValueis positive, it will round the number atplaceValuedecimal places after (to the right of) the decimal point. - If
placeValueis negative, it will round the number atplaceValuedecimal places before (to the left of) the decimal point.
- If
messageSpacer(string, x, y)- A function used to align inputs in the console.
- It displays a string at the coordinates
(x, y)in the console, then repeatedly adds spacing until the desired horizontal position is reached. - This is used to align
cininputs in the same line.
