How can you display Typing Speed using Javascript or the jQuery library
javascriptTo display the typing speed using JavaScript or the jQuery library, you can use a keydown event handler to track the keys that the user is pressing and a timer to calculate the elapsed time.
Here is an example of how you can do this using JavaScript:
<!-- create an input element to track the user's typing -->
<input id="typing-input" type="text" />
<!-- create a paragraph element to display the typing speed -->
<p id="typing-speed"></p>
<script>
// create a variable to track the number of keystrokes
let keystrokes = 0;
// create a variable to track the start time
let startTime;
// create a variable to track the elapsed time
let elapsedTime = 0;
// create a variable to track the typing speed
let typingSpeed = 0;
// get a reference to the input element and the typing speed element
const input = document.getElementById('typing-input');
const speedElement = document.getElementById('typing-speed');
// add a keydown event listener to the input element
input.addEventListener('keydown', event => {
// increment the keystroke count
keystrokes++;
// if this is the first keystroke, record the start time
if (keystrokes === 1) {
startTime = new Date().getTime();
}
});
// add an input event listener to the input element
input.addEventListener('input', event => {
// calculate the elapsed time
elapsedTime = new Date().getTime() - startTime;
// calculate the typing speed
typingSpeed = Math.round(keystrokes / (elapsedTime / 1000));
// update the typing speed element
speedElement.textContent = `Typing speed: ${typingSpeed} wpm`;
});
</script>
This example uses the keydown event to track the keys that the user is pressing and the input event to calculate the elapsed time and update the typing speed display.
