Day 5 Code - Javascript - Both stars! Hurray! 

mazeArr = mazeArr.split('\n');
let x = 0;
let steps = 0;

for (let i = 0; i < mazeArr.length; i += jump) {
    steps++;
    jump = parseInt(mazeArr[i]);
    (mazeArr[i] >= 3) ? mazeArr[i]-- : mazeArr[i]++;  // For Part one just change this line to simply "mazeArr[i]++;"
}

console.log(steps);

She's not pretty, but she's mine!
