Simple automated investing advisor

/*
This code will be my step by step figuring out of an algorithm to suggest best investing practices, given the valuations and times of the valuations.  For example, if stock 1 does well on the first day, while stock 2 does poorly, and stock 2 does well the next day and stock one does poorly.  The algorithm will suggest buying shares in the first stock the first day, selling them to buy stock 2 the second day.

Essentially it will follow the logic: calculate which stock has the highest rate of growth between given moments.  Since there is no cost to sell and no cost to buy (in this early step), All shares should be sold to purchase the stock which will have the highest rate of growth. The program should accept the following inputs: the value of stock 1 on day one, day two, day three, and the value of stock 2 on day one, day two, and day three.  The program will set a variable to represent how much money is owned.

A later update of this algorithm will return a prioritized list of what I should do next.  It will prompt me to gather information about the activities, such as what I can gain in return for doing them, when I will get the return, the amount of time which will be spent (it will multiply this by the current hourly work worth

creating random rhythms

/*

Public notes: This program generates rhythmic note lengths with 1-9 beat durations. The order is randomly generated.  The note durations do not repeat.

Personal Notes: I will code a program which generates a random pattern of K*** and R*** k.  K represents the note, R represents a rest. I want this program to generate in a random pattern of all the nojte durations that could occur. But it will only give them once each time it is run, not more than once.

Here is my strategy, first I will set variables.
The string will be stored in a variable called rhythm.
rhythm will be set as the first value. then concated with additional randomly generated values.In between the concatenation there will be an "K" concatenated as well.   This will be the first program.

NExt program will take the random value generated and store it in a variable before concatenating with rhythm.  Whatever the value of the variable, there will be a designated variable created to confirm that the value has not already been concatenated with rhythm.  So the program will set the value equal to the randomly generated value, if the value is equal to for example 5, check if the variable five = 5 and if it does, start loop over again. if the variable five = null, then set variable five = to 5, concatenate to rhythm and then run the loop over again.  Set a counter so that the loop does not time out when it hits all the values.

 Here is my second attempt at making the chessboard.  I think this code is a little bit simpler and it has a prompt so it is a bit more user friendly than the previous version.

var givenNum = Number(prompt("give a number, make a chessboard!"));
for (var firstLine = "#";firstLine.length <=givenNum ; firstLine+="#")
{
   if (firstLine.length == givenNum)
     break;
  firstLine += " ";
   if (firstLine.length == givenNum)
     break;
}
for (var secLine = " ";secLine.length <=givenNum ; secLine+=" ")
{
   if (secLine.length == givenNum)
     break;
  secLine += "#";
     if (secLine.length == givenNum)
     break;
};

var counter = 1;
var theLine = firstLine
while (counter <=givenNum)
{
  theLine += "\n" + secLine;
  counter++;
  if (counter ==givenNum)
    break;
  theLine += "\n" + firstLine;
  counter++;
  if (counter == givenNum)
    break;
};
console.log(theLine);

Eloquent Javascript

Currently reading "Eloquent Javascript" by Marijn Haverbeke.  

One of the exercises in "Eloquent Javascript" called for writing code for creating a chessboard pattern of hashtags and spaces for a square shape in the console.  

Here is my code (it seems to work)

var number = 13;

var computerN = number * number + number - 1;

var string = ' ';

while (string.length < computerN)

{

  if (number % 2 === 0)

  {

    string = string + '#';

    if (string.length === computerN)

    {

      break;

    } 

    else if ((string.length - number) % (number + 1) === 0)

    {

      string = string + '\n#';

    }

    string = string + ' ';

    if (string.length === computerN)

    {

      break;

    } 

    else if ((string.length - number) % (number + 1) === 0)

    {

      string = string + '\n ';

    }

  } 

  else

  {

    if (string.length === computerN)

    {

      break;

    } 

    else if ((string.length - number) % (number + 1) === 0)

    {

      string = string + '\n# ';

    }

    string = string + '#';

    if (string.length === computerN)

    {

      break;

    } 

    else if ((string.length - number) % (number + 1) === 0)

    {

      string = string + '\n #';

    }

    string = string + ' ';

  }

}

console.log(string);
