So I've pretty much realized that Code.org's programming language isn't JavaScript.
"App Lab. App Lab is a tool for creating “app-like” projects using Javascript (by typing or droplet blocks.)"

And yes, I did verify this myself. Although the things taught in Web Lab are really applicable, App Lab and Game Lab are not. They're completely different things. Literally scamming thousands of students into thinking they're learning the real-world "JavaScript".

lol

    probs was on the forum when you posted it.

    well, gamelab is pjs which has some of the same functions as javascript
    but i agree CDO should not be trying to pass this off as javascript

        You just now figured this out?

        It uses the same syntax as ES5 Javascript, so yes, applab is "real" javascript

          Letti42 outdated and some of the logic is flawed too but it is some form of ES5 can't believe switch statements of all things are bugged on there apparently, you'd think they would've fixed that and the only way i know that is from another fellow on the teacher forum

              but my error wasn't with switch statements it was how i was filtering it... i wonder if it does actually have issues if you haven't been having any problems @[WUT] Adam

              oh darn i thought i understood app lab

              im pretty sure there are a lot of variants of javascript

              so what is "real" javascript
              im pretty sure "real" code would just be binary
