This is the python code im trying to convert into javascript.
ime = input("Enter your name: nn") # correction made by AmyHubbertx for c in ime: c = c.upper() if (c == "A"): print("..######..n..#....#..n..######..n..#....#..n..#....#..nn") elif (c == "B"): print("..######..n..#....#..n..#####...n..#....#..n..######..nn") elif (c == "C"): print("..######..n..#.......n..#.......n..#.......n..######..nn") elif (c == "D"): print("..#####...n..#....#..n..#....#..n..#....#..n..#####...nn")
I want to be able to write anything and get each letter written to the page. This current code writes ‘a’ even if you put the wrong letter.
How can I input something and have it write to the page?
/*function yourName()*/ let name = prompt("Enter Your Name") if (i === 'a' || 'A'){ document.write(("..######..<br>..#........#..<br>..######..<br>..#........#..<br>..#........#..<br><br>")) } if ( i = 'b' || 'B'){ document.write(("..######..<br>..#........#..<br>..#####...<br>..#........#..<br>..######..<br><br>")) } if ( i = 'c' || 'C'){ document.write(("..######..<br>..#.......<br>..#.......<br>..#.......<br>..######..<br><br>")) } /*}*/

Many issues. =
is assignment and ==
or ===
is comparison just like in Python.
Also not you should NEVER use document.write
after the page has loaded. It will wipe the page.
Here is a working version taking all letters you type (as long as they are A, B, or C)
const name = prompt("Enter Your Name", "CAB").trim().toUpperCase() let text = "No name given"; const chars = { 'A': "..######..<br>..#....#..<br>..######..<br>..#....#..<br>..#....#..<br>", 'B': "..######..<br>..#....#..<br>..#####...<br>..#....#..<br>..######..<br>", 'C': "..######..<br>..#.......<br>..#.......<br>..#.......<br>..######..<br>", } if (name.length > 0) { text = name.split("").map(c => chars[c] || "X<br/>"); // return the character or X if not found document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = `<pre>${text.join("</pre><pre>")}</pre>`; }
pre {display: inline-block; float: left }
<div id="content"></div>
