--description--
Functional programming is a style of programming where solutions are simple, isolated functions, without any side effects outside of the function scope: INPUT -> PROCESS -> OUTPUT
Functional programming is about:
-
Isolated functions - there is no dependence on the state of the program, which includes global variables that are subject to change
-
Pure functions - the same input always gives the same output
-
Functions with limited side effects - any changes, or mutations, to the state of the program outside the function are carefully controlled

The members of freeCodeCamp happen to love tea.
In the code editor, the prepareTea
and getTea
functions are already defined for you. Call the getTea
function to get 40 cups of tea for the team, and store them in the tea4TeamFCC
variable.
--hints--
The tea4TeamFCC
variable should hold 40 cups of tea for the team.
assert(tea4TeamFCC.length === 40);
The tea4TeamFCC
variable should hold cups of green tea.
assert(tea4TeamFCC[0] === 'greenTea');
--seed--
--seed-contents--
// Function that returns a string representing a cup of green tea
const prepareTea = () => 'greenTea';
/*
Given a function (representing the tea type) and number of cups needed, the
following function returns an array of strings (each representing a cup of
a specific type of tea).
*/
const getTea = (numOfCups) => {
const teaCups = [];
for(let cups = 1; cups <= numOfCups; cups += 1) {
const teaCup = prepareTea();
teaCups.push(teaCup);
}
return teaCups;
};
// Only change code below this line
const tea4TeamFCC = null;
// Only change code above this line
