JavaScript - For Loops!
Hello, i am new here however my knowledge is not that limited like that one guy wolf who oldMaster was helping with i read the RULES and his thread lol
so my question is, i have made a for loop and in side the for loop i wrote document.write(<td>date</td>"<td class = 'amt'>amount</td>); where date, amount, firstName, and lastName, are the values of the date, amount, firstName, and lastName arrays for the index indicated by the current value of the for loop counter varible so questions : i have spent the past 3 days looking online for the correct answer document.write(<td>date</td>"<td class = 'amt'>amount</td>); ? HTML FILE Code: <title>The Lighthouse</title> <link href="lhouse.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type = "text/javascript" src = "list.js"></script> <!-- caling the external file --> <script type ="text/javascript"> function amountTotal(){ //i dont think we need an array made because we have called the external file called list.js which holds the arrays //sets the variable to 0 var total = 0; //new Array("firstName", "lastName", "street", "city", "state", "zip", "amount", "date"); //that loops through all the values in the amount array, at each point in the loop add the current value of the array item to the value of the total variable for(var i = 0; i < amount.length; i++) { total = total + amount[i]; }//enf forloop //i must return the sum of all the values in the amount array return total; }//end of function total </script> </head> <body> <div id="title"> <img src="logo.jpg" alt="The Lighthouse" /> The Lighthouse<br /> 543 Oak Street<br /> Owensboro, KY 42302<br/> (270) 555-7511 </div> <div id="data_list"> <!--//creates a new script --> <script type = "text/javascript"> document.write("<table border='1' rules='rows' cellspacing='0'>");

I've previously done HTML, but now started to learn some aspects of Javascript but getting rather confused with Loops! I've done a some coding for the Loop question (probably doesn't make sense) but I was wondering if you could help me out? I'm about as confused as a cow on a Astro Turf so my code may look terrible! - For this question you will: Draw a flow chart and write a javascript function which will use a for loop and allow the user to enter the details for four students when the program is run and display the average. Assume that they equal weighting. Hint: Javascript may assume that the value received from a prompt is a string so use parseInt() to make sure the number is an integer. Here is my code: (I'm using Aptana) Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/javascript; charset=utf-8"/> <title>Average Marks</title> <!-- Date: 2011-10-27 --> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function marks () { var mark1 = 10; var mark2 = 25; var mark3 = 50; for(var mark1 = 10; mark1<20; mark1++) (var mark2 = 25; mark2<50; mark2++) (var mark3 = 50; mark3<90; mark3++) { alert(mark1 + "<br /> "); (mark2 + "<br /> "); (mark3 + "<br />" ); console.log(mark1) console.log(mark2) console.log(mark3) } } function average () { parseInt() } </script> <body onload="marks()"> </body> </head> </html> P.S. I'm not using the prompt for the user to enter their details yet, as I wanted to test it with the marks already set. Regards This is a final loops in an exercise here is my code Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var counter; for (counter=0; counter<amount.length; counter++) {} { document.writeIn(counter+"<br/>"); document.writeIn("<tr><td>"date"[counter]"</td>"); document.writeIn("<td class = 'amt'>myArray</td>"); document.writeIn("<td>"firstName[counter]"</td>"); document.writeIn("<td>"lastName[counter]"</td>"); document.writeIn("<td>"street[counter]"<br />"); document.writeIn("<td>"+street[counter]+" "+city[counter]+" "state[counter]+" "+zip[counter]+"</td></tr>); Total=total+amount[counter]; document.writeIn("<table>"); } </script> This is what i have, what do i need to do to make this more proper and written properly? thanks Hello all. I've spent a few days now browsing this forum along with guides on the net, I'm new to JS and I'm having a bit of trouble with loops. I just don't seem to get them, I was wondering if anyone had any tips or methods (the simpler the better ) for getting these learnt and done with? Would appreciate any tips Thanks I am doing practice problems for class (not homework), and I've gotten most of the coding down except for one stipulation. The exercise reads: "Write a program that reads input of the number of hours an employee has worked and displays the employee's total and average (per day) number of hours. The company doesn't pay overtime, so cap any day at 8 hours. Sample Run: How many days? 3 Hours? 6 Hours? 12 Hours? 5 Employee's total paid hours = 19 Employee’s average paid hours = 6.3333333" I can't figure out how to include the bolded stipulation. I've tried adding: Code: if ( sum >8 ) { sum = 8; } but I know that isn't right, and I can't think of any other solution. Can someone advise me on my work? Code: public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("How many days worked? "); int count = keyboard.nextInt(); int i = 1; int sum = 0; while (i <= count) { System.out.println("Hours? "); sum += keyboard.nextInt(); i++; } System.out.println("Employee's total paid hours= " +sum); System.out.println("Employee's average paid hours= " +(double)sum/count); } } Also! If anyone can explain to me why there has to be an initialization of " int sum = 0 ", that would be great. I just know I have to include it for this loop. Hey everyone! I am pretty new to JS and I am having a problem figuring this loops structure out - any help would be appreciated. I am trying to add a password to an html page via an external JS file. (I know this isn't an ideal solution for securing a page - I am just trying to use this for trying to understand loops.) What I am trying to do is prompt the user to enter a password before the html page loads. If the password is correct they can enter the page. If they guess wrong the user is looped back to a prompt box to try again. If they fail 3 times they should be told via an alert box and sent off somewhere else. I have tried using a for & do while loop and was unsuccessful. I think this is the best way to go. This is what I have so far: Code: var password = prompt('All women a ',' '); var pass1 = "Psycho"; var counter = 0; if (counter < 3) { if (password = pass1) { alert('Password Correct! Click OK to enter!'); counter++ } else { alert("Password Incorrect!!!"); window.location="Lab5Part2.html"; } } else { alert("You have failed 3 times!"); window.location="http://www.google.com"; } I've been asked to create a program which allows meteorologists to input a certain amount of data inputs of snowfall, and then the individual snowfall of each input itself. In my mind this should prompt me for a data input as many times as their are inputs, however, it works only for the first data input, then it returns to blank page without prompts for the second input... Any clues as to where I'm going wrong? Hello codingforums.com! Right, this is probably going but such a stupid newbie thread but here goes.. I've finally got myself into gear to start learning javascript. I've been watching video tutorials, learning from websites and simply learning by error. I understand the concept of for loops, but the whole nested thing doesn't seem to click for some reason. I thought i understood and managed to write a piece of code that constantly writes '*' across the screen. Could someone with some pretty damn good knowledge of javascript be able to walk me through step by step of my script to explain what actually is happening? It would help loads. here is the script, many thanks!! <script type="text/javascript"> var counter = 0; function writeStars(){ for(i=0;i<1;i++){ for(a=0;a<=counter;a++){ document.write("*"); } counter++ document.write("<br />"); } } setInterval("writeStars()", 200); </script> I am working on making 2 for loops of 2 arrays to get the total of them. Then I need to get the average heights. This is for a test, yet I have not got a clue, so I need clues as I cant get it to work and I am a new coder to javascript. Code: var heights = [15,16,17,18,19]; var numbers = [2,1,6,4,2]; var average = new Array(5); average = 0 for (var heights = 0; heights <= 5; heights = heights+ 1) { total = 0 } for (var numbers = 0; numbers <= 5; numbers = numbers + 1) { total = 0 average = heights / numbers; } document.write('The average height is ' + average); Am I on the right road? I need to use this format and not functions. I have got 2 for statements but maybe I could do this with one, it is so tricky this javascript. Hi everyone. I have a loop question. This is my assignment for my Comp Apps class. The whole thing is a store selling guitar picks. What I'm missing now is a loop. After the costumer places the order, he has the choice to go back and buy more or complete the order. In the end all the order the costumer placed adds up to the total. This is what I have so far: PHP Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var name = prompt("Welcome to Pick Center. Please enter your name", " "); alert("Hello " + name + "! Please look through our list of picks before placing your order."); var product = prompt("What would you like to buy?", ""); var quantity = prompt("How many " + product + " would you like to order?", ""); var confirming = confirm(""+ name + " you ordered " + quantity +" " + product +" picks. Is this correct?"); var price = " "; var item_discount = " "; if ( confirming == true ) { } else { alert("Refresh the page to reload and place a new order.")} if ( product == "dirtbag" ) { price = "5"; item_discount = "0.3";} else if ( product == "delrin" ) { price = "7"; item_discount = "0.2";} else if ( product == "speedpick" ) { price = "10"; item_discount = "0.5";} else if ( product == "stubby") { price = "25"; item_discount = "0.25";} else { alert("Sorry," + name + ". You entered an invalid product. Refresh the page to reload and place the order again.");} var cost_of_order = price * quantity; var discount = price * item_discount * quantity; var total = cost_of_order - discount; document.write("<br><h1> Your Order: </h1></br><br>"); document.write("Thank you for placing an order with us, <b>" + name + "</b>.<br><br>"); document.write("The cost of buying " + quantity + " " + product + " picks is <b>$" + cost_of_order + "</b>.<br><br>"); document.write("The discount for this purchase is <b>$" + discount + "</b>.<br><br>"); document.write("With discount, your total order cost is <b>$" + total + "</b>.<br><br>"); </script> I've tried reading around and I bought a couple of books but I just can't get a grasp on loops. Can someone please help me with this? I have the following nested for loops: Code: for (i;i<tag('entry').length;i++) { content = content + '<tr>'; for (x;x<tag('header').length;x++) { content = content + '<td style="width:' + tdWidth + '%; border:solid 1px #000;">' + tag('item')[x].firstChild.nodeValue; + '</td>'; } x+=tag('header').length; content = content + '</tr>'; } For some reason, it seems to only loop the outer for loop once. BTW, tag() is defined, I just didn't include it. Help is appreciated. Thanks, Julian Hey Guys, I'm currently a seasoned programmer who is in a programming class at my school. We're currently learning advanced JavaScript, and we're on the topic of nested loops. After teaching us about for and while loops, my teacher gave us a little puzzle to solve. It's kind of difficult to explain, but I'll give you guys my current code and what it outputs. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Word Reversal</title> <script type="text/javascript"> var ask = prompt("How many words do you want?",""); while (ask < "1") { alert("You have to have at least one word!"); var ask = prompt("How many words do you want?",""); } var num = parseInt(ask) + 1; var final = ""; for (var i=1; i < num; i++) { var word = prompt("What's word " + i + "?"); final = final + "Word " + i +": " + word + "<br/>"; } </script> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(final); </script> </body> </html> The current output, when the user wants two words, and word 1 is one and word 2 is two, comes out to be: Code: Word 1: one Word 2: two Which is great, but the only problem is, this is what the output's supposed to be: Code: Word 2: two Word 1: one I'm stumped. I've had numerous programming challenges in my life which I've solved, but I'm not sure where to go next on this one. The script is supposed to use a nested loop, but what goes in what loop to reverse the order of the user's input? I asked my teacher for help, but he told me "Ask someone else." I asked another seasoned programmer in my class, who was just about as stumped as I was, so I went back to my teacher. "Well, ask another person" he replied. And can you believe this guy has a Master's Degree of Computer Science? So I'm asking you guys: the community. I hope someone will be able to help me. On top of that, I have to help and tutor two special education students in my class on this kind of stuff during class, and they can't get the project done until I get it done, as they learn from analyzing and copying my work (which my teacher told me to do). They get upset when they have nothing to code, and they end up goofing off the entire period, or using it as a study hall. I need to get them back on track, so we can move on to the next project. Please help me with this code - it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! I created a For Loop and counter starts at 0, then increase in increments of 1 after each iteration of loop i run a command 1( add html code such as Code: <td>named (part)</td> <td class= 'num'>votes</td> Then create variable of named percent use totalV for value of sum parameter then i add html code of Code: <td class='num'>(percent%(</td> then i add a function named createBar(0 using race[0], name1, party1, and votes1 in parameter values this is my coding Code: for (var i=0; i < name.length; i++) { document.write("<tr>"); document.write("<td>" name[i] + "(" + party[i] + ")</td>"); document.write("<td class='num'>" + votes[i] + "</td>"); var percent=calcPercent(votes[i], totalV) document.write("<td class='num'>(" + percent +"%)</td>"); createBar(party[i],percent) document.write("</tr>"); } document.write("</table>"); } </script> </head> so any improvements or what i am missing in my functions. I need help placing this code in a table that is one column wide by 20 rows long. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Table</title> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <table cellspacing="5" border="2"> <script> document.write("<h2>Table of Fibonacci Numbers</h2>"); for (i=0, j=1, k=0, fib =0; i<15; i++, fib=j+k, j=k, k=fib){ document.write("Fibonacci (" + i + ") = " + fib); document.write("<br>"); } </script> </table> </html> Okay, I have another problem. I really can't figure out why it's not working in IE. The only problem I can think of would be using nested loops. Here's the part of the code that isn't working. It's not generating an error, it's just not returning anything. I know you guys hate when I post entire code, so I trimmed it down as much as I can. It's referring to an already stated xml document with xmlDoc. And it's goal is to return a table of rows that meet certain criteria. If you can see any syntax errors that explorer would not like, that's really what I'm asking for. Thanks in advance, Julian Code: var entries = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1); var headers = 0; for (var i=0;i<xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('entry').length;i++) { var x = headers; headers += xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('header').length; var id = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('entry')[i].getAttribute("id"); if (entries.indexOf(id) >= 0) { content += '<tr>'; for (x;x<headers;x++) { content += '<td>' + xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('item')[x].firstChild.nodeValue + '<\/td>'; } } content += '<\/tr>'; } return content; Hi, Which among the following for iterating objects in JavaScript is better in terms of performance & usage? A) property enumeration: for (var propName in someObject) { var value = someObject[propName]; } B) Array protocol for (var i=0; i<someObject.length; i++) { var value = someObject[i]; } C) forEach method Can forEach method be used across various browsers and OS? K I have a client using pretty photo in a theme called modernizer and for some reason using this plug in https://github.com/jmcleod/prettyphoto-media-pinterest the pin it button will loop in the lightbox each time an image is cycled through. site: Laura Damiano Designs (LD Designs) : Custom, Handmade Stationery + Company Branding example: under homepage look for recent work thumbnails. Any assistance is appreciated. Hi guys, I am new to learning javascript and have a test tomorrow on for loops. I know the answers to the three following loops but i wondered if anyone could take the time to explain to me how to find the answer from the code as I have no idea on how to find the answers (the answer is what is displayed in the alert). Many thanks, Mike The loops are these three: 1. var a=4;b=6; for(var c=0;c<=a;c++){b=b+c;} alert(b); (answer is 16) 2. var v=1; for(i=1;i<5;i++) for(j=2;j<5;j++) v+=1; alert(v); (answer is 13) 3. var s=0; for(i=0;i<=8;i++) if((i%2)==0)s+=1; alert(s); (answer is 5) I am looking to get a loop which runs through a series of divs (each with an attribute called "position" followed by 5 comma separated values). for each of these divs i need the 5 comma separated values (from position) to be assigned to variables. I have the rest of the code sorted out i just cannot get the original variables. Examples: divs look like this... Code: <div position="100,100,50,50,1"></div> There are no limits on the number of these divs but there will never be 0. What i want is something to look like this. For each div, var s = string of attribute (position) values (output:a,b,c,d,e) split string to create var a = a var b = b var c = c var d = d var e = e I from those 5 vars can do what i need. and i know that vars a,b,c,d,e,s will all be overwritten in when it comes to the next div... that is planned. i am having trouble with a program for class hoping someone can point me in the right direction i am supposed to use nested for loops to output 2 seperate webpages one with the first pattern below and then another with the second pattern.
