// ==== Objects ====

/* 
  Given the following information about dinosaurs, create 3 objects: 
  Use this pattern to create your objects: 
  object name, diet, weight, length, period
*/

// tyrannosaurus, carnivorous, 7000kg, 12m, Late Cretaceious
// const dino1 = {
//   object_name: "tyrannosaurus",
//   diet: "carnivorous",
//   weight: "7000kg",
//   length: "12m",
//   period: "Late Cretaceious",
//   speak: function () { console.log("RAWERSRARARWERSARARARRRR!")}
// }

// stegosaurus, herbivorous, 2000kg, 9m, Late Jurassic
// const dino2 = {
//   object_name: "stegosaurus",
//   diet: "herbivorous",
//   weight: "2000kg",
//   length: "9m",
//   period: "Late Jurassic",
// }

// velociraptor, carnivorous, 15kg, 1.8m, Late Cretaceious
// const dino3 = {
//   object_name: "velociraptor",
//   diet: "carnivorous",
//   weight: "15kg",
//   length: "1.8m",
//   period: "Late Cretaceious",
// }

// Using your dinosaur objects, log answers to these questions:

// How much did tyrannosaurus weigh?
// console.log(dino1["weight"]);

// What was the diet of a velociraptor?
// console.log(dino3["diet"]);

// How long was a stegosaurus?
// console.log(dino2["length"]);

// What time period did tyrannosaurus live in?
// console.log(dino1["period"]);


// Create a new roar method for the tyrannosaurus.  When called, return "RAWERSRARARWERSARARARRRR!" Log the result.
// console.log(dino1.speak());

Once you have the new array created, sort the universities alphabetically and log the result. */

  universities.push(graduates[i].university)

console.log(universities)

/* Request 2: Create a new array called contactInfo that contains both first name and email of each student. 

The resulting contact information should have a space between the first name and the email information like this: 
Name email@example.com

Log the result of your new array. */

// ==== ADVANCED Array Methods ====

// Given this zoo data from around the United States, follow the instructions below.  Use the specific array methods in the requests below to solve the problems.

{"animal_name":"Australian pelican","population":5,"scientific_name":"Pelecanus conspicillatus","state":"West Virginia"}];

/* Request 1: .forEach()

The zoo wants to display both the scientific name and the animal name in front of the habitats.  Return an array with only the animal and scientific names in it.  The individual values in the array should look like this "Name: Jackal, asiatic, Scientific: Canis aureus."

*/
const animalNames = []; //defining variable

console.log(animalNames);

/* Request 2: .map()    

The zoos need a list of all their animal's names (names only, not scientific) converted to lower case.  Create a new array named lowerCase and map over each name to convert them all to lower case.  Log the resut.

*/

const lowerCase = []; //defining variable
const lowerCase = zooAnimals.map(zooAnimalsItem => zooAnimalsItem.animal_name.toLowerCase()); //searches zoo data for all animal names and lowercases them

/* Request 3: .filter() 

The zoos are concenred about animals with a lower population count. Find out which animals have a population less than 5.

*/
const largerPopulation = [];//defining variable
const largerPopulation = zooAnimals.filter(zooAnimalsItem => zooAnimalsItem.population < 5); //searches zoo data and filters animals with population less than 5

/* Request 4: .reduce() 

The zoos need to know their total animal population across the United States.  Find the total population from all the zoos using the .reduce() method.

*/
const populationTotal = 0; //defining variable
