Assignment #3: Data Types and Operators

Copy and save the following HTML code as InterestArray.html:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Interest Array</title>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    /* <![CDATA[ */
    var interestRate1 = .0725;
    var interestRate2 = .0755;
    var interestRate3 = .0775;
    var interestRate4 = .0805;
    var interestRate5 = .0825;
    var interestRate6 = .0855;
    var interestRate7 = .0875;
    /* ]]> */
  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <h3>Interest Array</h3>
</body>
</html>

Modify the JavaScript code in InterestArray.html so that the numeric values are stored in a JavaScript array named ratesArray. In other words, replace the variables interestRate1, interestRate2, etc., with an array.
Add JavaScript statements to the body section of the page, which display the contents of each array element. In other words, display the numeric values.
Please NOTE:Later in the course, you will learn about now to use repetition ("loops") to display arrays. For this current assignment, I do NOT expect you to use a loop.
Your page should look something like this in the browser's display (It is okay if your numbers do not have leading zeroes. We will see later in the semester, how to make sure your numbers are properly displayed.):
```
The first interest rate is 0.0725
The second interest rate is 0.0755
The third interest rate is 0.0775
The fourth interest rate is 0.0805
The fifth interest rate is 0.0825
The sixth interest rate is 0.0855
The seventh interest rate is 0.0875
```
Validate your page using the W3C HTML Validator. (The Validator will automatically detect whether you have an XHTML or an HTML5 document.)
Add a hypertext link to the main index.html file that is in your class folder. Make this hypertext link display the html page that you made for this assignment.
Upload your files to your class folder. You will need to use an FTP program to upload the files. You will find some general FTP instructions on a page called "FTP Instructions".
Test your pages to make sure they have no errors in them. (You should turn on the display of script errors in your browser!) Here are some instructions on how to turn on JavaScript error messages.
Hints for InterestArray.html:
1. Later in the course, you will learn about now to use repetition ("loops") to display arrays. For this current assignment, I do not expect you to use a loop.
2. What the first hint really means is, that you can use a series of document.write( ) statements, separated by <br> tags, if you wish. Or you may even use a list similar to the first assignment.
