Employes map

Question

I need help with this exercise because it gives me an error on the output. The description is as follows:
Five employees of a company are stored on the map, in the program that you have been given. Their names are set as keys and their positions as values.
The company is hiring one more employee. The program should take the name and position as inputs and store them in the existing map.
Complete the program to perform this operation and send the list of employees to the console in the format shown in the sample output.
Input example
Bob
Developer
Output example
Richard: Developer
Maria: SEO Specialist
Tom: Product Manager
David: Accountant
Sophia: HR Manager
Bob: Developer.
Use the entries () method to return an array Iterator [key, value] on the map for each item.

["Sophia", "HR Manager"]
]);

Answer 2

function main() {
var name = readLine();
var position = readLine();
let employees = new Map([
["Richard", "Developer"],
["Maria", "SEO Specialist"],
["Tom", "Product Manager"],
["David", "Accountant"],
["Sophia", "HR Manager"]
]);
//your code heres goes
employees.set(name,position)
for(var i of employees.entries()){
console.log(i [0] + " : " + i [1])
}
}
Good Luck

Answer 3

if the task expect an iterator to be returned, just do:
//your code heres goes
employees.set(name,position);
return employees.entries();
actually your code output (print) each key, value pairs ^^

Answer 4

vishp and Ipang. Thank you very much for the answer, however doing it this way I get undefined, it still generates error in the output, and calling the function does not solve the problem either. I don't know how else to do it.

Answer 5

I was thinking the "return an array iterator" was part of the task description ^^
in fact, you are only missing a space after the colon ;P
console.log(k + ": " + v);

Answer 6

Ipang this is a code coach / end of project / practice: no need to replace the method used to get input nor to call main function ;)

Answer 7

you must put a space after the colon, but not before ^^

Answer 8

marking your own answer as best is not allowed and doesn't give you any xp ;P

Answer 9

function main() {
var name = readLine();
var position = readLine();
let employees = new Map([
["Richard", "Developer"],
["Maria", "SEO Specialist"],
["Tom", "Product Manager"],
["David", "Accountant"],
["Sophia", "HR Manager"]
]);
//your code heres goes
employees.set(name,position)
for(var i of employees.entries()){
console.log(i [0] + " : " + i [1]) // put space before and after of : (colon)
}
}

Answer 10

What error? I see no error. I see you don't call main() function so it doesn't run.

Answer 11

Replace readLine() with prompt(<title>). Change <title> to your liking, for asking name and position. Then you call main(), it works for me.

Answer 12

Visph,
I don't get a prompt asking for name & position when running the code as it is a Web project. I have to use prompt() to get such prompt, and call main().
Of course it works without changing input method or calling main() had this were a Node code.

Answer 13

visph and Ipang. Thank you very much for the suggestions and help you gave me, I have already managed to correct the code and modify it as follows:
