Get a button for each letter

• Show a button for each letter that a country can begin with
• You can use a Set to remove duplicates from a list.

fetch('/worldl.json')
  .then((r)=>r.json())
  .then((r)=>{
     let letters = r.map(c=>c.name[0]);
     for(let a of letters){
       let b = document.createElement('button');
       b.innerText = a;
       document.body.append(b);
     }
  });

fetch('/worldl.json')
  .then((r)=>r.json())
  .then((r)=>{
     let letters = new Set(r.map(c=>c.name[0]));
     for(let a of letters){
       let b = document.createElement('button');
       b.innerText = a;
       document.body.append(b);
     }
  });

Get a button for each continent

• Show a button for each continent

fetch('/worldl.json')
  .then((r)=>r.json())
  .then((r)=>{
     let letters = new Set(r.map(c=>c.continent));
     for(let a of letters){
       let b = document.createElement('button');
       b.innerText = a;
       document.body.append(b);
     }
  });

Pick a random country from Africa

• Use Math.random() to pick a country at random
• Note that because of the way the scoring works you should not expect to get 100%

fetch('/worldl.json')
  .then((r)=>r.json())
  .then((r)=>{
     let africa = r.filter(c=>c.continent=='Africa');
     let randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*africa.length);
     let randomCountry = africa[randomNumber];
     document.body.innerText = randomCountry.name;
  });
