JavaScript code to calculate the resistance value of a resistor based on its color bands
Mark E.
Here's an example JavaScript code to calculate the resistance value of a resistor based on its color bands:
const colorCodes = {
'black': 0,
'brown': 1,
'red': 2,
'orange': 3,
'yellow': 4,
'green': 5,
'blue': 6,
'violet': 7,
'gray': 8,
'white': 9
};
const firstBand = 'brown'; // replace with the actual color of the first band
const secondBand = 'black'; // replace with the actual color of the second band
const thirdBand = 'red'; // replace with the actual color of the third band
const multiplier = 1;
const tolerance = 0.05;
const firstDigit = colorCodes[firstBand];
const secondDigit = colorCodes[secondBand];
const thirdDigit = colorCodes[thirdBand];
const ohms = (firstDigit * 10 + secondDigit) * multiplier;
const ohmsString = ohms.toFixed(2);
console.log(`Resistance value: ${ohmsString} ohms (+/-${tolerance})`);
