Final Project: Greeting Generator

Congratulations on making it this far! Time to build a little program that pulls together everything you have learned.

The goal

We will make a greeting generator. Given a list of people and the current hour, it greets each person with the right message for the time of day.

The plan

1. Keep a list of names in an array.
2. Write a function that picks a greeting based on the hour using if / else.
3. Use a loop to greet every person on the list.
4. Use a template string to build a friendly sentence.

function timeGreeting(hour) {
  if (hour < 12) {
    return "Good morning";
  } else if (hour < 18) {
    return "Good afternoon";
  } else {
    return "Good evening";
  }
}

The starter code below is complete and runnable. Run it first to see it work, then make it your own:

• Add your own name to the people array.
• Change hour to a different number (try 9, 15, and 21) and see the greetings change.
• As a challenge, add a fourth time period, like a late-night message for hours after 22.

You did it

You have written real JavaScript using variables, strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, conditions, loops, and functions. That is the core toolkit that everything else builds on. Well done!
