JavaScript - Switch Statements
Give me an example for switch statements.
I had to create one that tests value of parameter using a text string, I came up with this value Code: function createBar(partyType,percent){ switch(partyType) { case D: <td class='dem'></td> break; Should I use " or ' between the dem? I am using break statements. do all breaks should end with string or do i need the bracket? I hope this does not seem like i getting people to do homework for me again,, just want to verify if i did this area correctly? Similar TutorialsHere is the code, in full: <htmll"> <head><title></title> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- HIDE FROM INCOMPATIBLE BROWSERS function checkGrade(grade, value) { switch (grade) { case "A": if(grade == '90') window.alert("Your grade is excellent."); break; case "B": window.alert("Your grade is good."); break; case "C": window.alert("Your grade is fair."); break; case "D": window.alert("You are barely passing."); break; case "F": window.alert("You failed."); break; } } // STOP HIDING FROM INCOMPATIBLE BROWSERS --> </script> </head> <body> <form name="gradeForm"action="Your Grades"> <input type="text" name="grade" /> <input type="button" value="Check Grade" onclick="checkGrade(document.gradeForm.grade.value);" /> </form> </body> </html> What's throwing me off is the "A" in the case. As well, "(document.gradeForm.grade.value)" I need to make it a IF statement, but not sure how to call that function. Currently I have the following javascript switch statement ... Code: switch(firstchar){ case "0": case "1": case "2": case "3": case "4": case "5": case "6": case "7": case "8": case "9": orderlist[0] += addthis; break; case "a": case "A": orderlist[1] += addthis; break; case "b": case "B": orderlist[2] += addthis; break; case "c": case "C": orderlist[3] += addthis; break; case "d": case "D": orderlist[4] += addthis; break; case "e": case "E": orderlist[5] += addthis; break; case "f": case "F": orderlist[6] += addthis; break; case "g": case "G": orderlist[7] += addthis; break; case "h": case "H": orderlist[8] += addthis; break; case "i": case "I": orderlist[9] += addthis; break; case "j": case "J": orderlist[10] += addthis; break; case "k": case "K": orderlist[11] += addthis; break; case "l": case "L": orderlist[12] += addthis; break; case "m": case "M": orderlist[13] += addthis; break; case "n": case "N": orderlist[14] += addthis; break; case "o": case "O": orderlist[15] += addthis; break; case "p": case "P": orderlist[16] += addthis; break; case "q": case "Q": orderlist[17] += addthis; break; case "r": case "R": orderlist[18] += addthis; break; case "s": case "S": orderlist[19] += addthis; break; case "t": case "T": orderlist[20] += addthis; break; case "u": case "U": orderlist[21] += addthis; break; case "v": case "V": orderlist[22] += addthis; break; case "w": case "W": orderlist[23] += addthis; break; case "x": case "X": orderlist[24] += addthis; break; case "y": case "Y": orderlist[25] += addthis; break; case "z": case "Z": orderlist[26] += addthis; break; default: alert('Illegal Entry'); break; } ... that I wish to optimize so that I do not need to write out so many lines of code. Also, I wish to take into the following as consideration ... Code: case "aa": case "Aa": case "aA": case "AA": orderlist[1] += addthis; break; ... for each two-character combination. (aa to zz) Appreciate any help. Hi, I believe this question has been asked by someone else before. However, it seems that the problem wasn't resolved. I'm having some trouble with the Switch Statements. My program runs without it so I know that the problem is here. I believe the logic is sound so it may be due to incorrect syntax. I will appreciate if someone could take a look at my code below and guide me in the right direction. Thank you. The purpose of this function is to create bars, and the length of the bars is determined by the value of the "percent" variable (which is working fine) in the For loop after the Switch statements. The variable, "partyType" contains any of the text strings, such as "I", "D", etc. Code: function createBar(partyType,percent){ var barText; switch(partyType){ case "D": barText="<td class='dem'></td>"; break; case "R": barText="<td class='rep'></td>"; break; case "I": barText="<td class='ind'></td>"; break; case "G": barText="<td class='green'></td>"; break; case "L": barText="<td class='lib'></td>"; break; default: document.write("hi"); } for(var i=1; i<percent; i++){ document.write(barText); } } } Writing Table Cells and Switch Statements I am to create a function and purpose is to write blank tables cells to make up horizontal bar. function will have 2 parameters=(partyType and percent partyType parameter stores variables of D,R,I,G or L percent parameter store percentage rounded to nearest integer so I am to make a switch and break statements /commands then have to create a For Loop in counter variable goes up from 1 through value of parmeter increments of 1 heres the code I created for this one Code: function createBar(partyType,percent){ // script element to create blank cells switch(partyType) { case "D": document.write("<td class='dem'></td>"); break; case "E": document.write("<td class='rep'></td>"); break; case "I": document.write("<td class='ind'></td>"); break; case "G": document.write("<td class='green'></td>"); break; case "L": document.write("<td class='lib'></td>"); break; } var barText = partyType for (i=0; i < percent; i++) { document.write(barText); So what improvements should I make? should my loop be before everything? Thanks My problem is that i have multiple math calculations within different functions that have multiple switch statements that get calculated with an onclick="functionOne()" for each radio button and before i can calculate the outcome for some reason i must fully insert a value for every input as well as check every raidio button before i get to the end of my list. I wish to simply allow the user to fill out as many fields as he wishes leaving some bank without being restricted to do every single one.. Thank you in advance
Hello there! I am completely new to these forums and to programming in general (however, I used to program some games, albeit not very good ones, on a version of BASIC that came with my Playstation 2 about 10 years ago hehe). I have a basic understanding of functions, loops, if/else/switch and an extremely basic understanding of objects/methods. I wanted to consolidate my knowledge by putting it to practical use so I have made a little text adventure game. At the moment it is horrendously non-user-friendly as it has just been me experimenting with functions, if/else statements etc. Anyway, below is my code and I have two specific questions regarding it (but general answers telling me how I could do things more efficiently OR telling me what I should consider studying would be very appreciate also :)). Firstly, I have a little inventory object up top and when the player picks up something in the game I change the inv item to "true" so they can use it later (it seemed logical!). I would really love to know how the user could type in "inv" and for their inventory to be shown back to them. i.e. How could I show only the "true" items of an object? I have tried coding this myself but I really am stumped for an answer. Secondly, you can see in the "north21" function within the "north2" function that I used a series of if/else statements instead of a switch. I would have much prefered to use a switch and then for the case of "go north" have an if/else statement to check if vineclear is true or not (so that they can pass through to the non-existent north3 room). Is this possible? You can use if/else statements within an if/else statement but it seemed when I tried doing that in a switch it didn't like it. I am running this script through an interpreter to play the "game". I understand that JS probably isn't the best for what I am trying to do, it was more just a "see what I can do" exercise more than anything. Thanks in advance for your help and please be nice to me, forums scare me generally :D testgame.txt I have to attach the code in a txt file as for some reason it wasn't displaying properly when I copied and pasted it here.

Join Date Feb 2009 Posts 28,310 Thanks 82 Thanked 4,754 Times in 4,716 Posts Briefly: Code: // based on this: var inv = { sword: false, shield: false, vines: false }; // try this: function displayInventory( ) { var list = [ ]; for ( var item in inv ) { if ( inv[item] == true ) { list.push( item ); } } if ( list.length == 0 ) { return "You have no items in your inventory"; } return "You have these items in your inventory:<ul><li>" + list.join("</li><li>") + "</ul>"; } My code is designed for display in an HTML page, not for use in clumsy console.log( ) coding. prompt() and alert() and confirm() and document.write() and console.log() should be used ONLY when debugging, not for any real work. But if you must use console.log, then try this, to replace the code in italics: Code: return "You have these items in your inventory: " + list.join(","); just a general question really... now that I've finally started using switches, it seems to me that they're just a big if /else if statement, with an else thrown in at the end for the default. but that can't be right. I know that in javascript there are a million ways to achieve the same result, but why would they (whoever they are) go to the trouble of making two basic operations that do exactly the same thing? to me it seems that switches are better for lots of conditions and if else is a quick way to work with two or three, but apart from readability, are there any inherent advantages in choosing one approach over the other? all opinions appreciated, and I hope I don't start another argument. Hello all I have a video playlist useing iframe http://alohainvesting.com/html5/Html5player.html Is there a way to get same results without iframes? i just want to switch items on nav to the wrapper window. can this be done? Thanks Im trying to figure out why this code won't work. Unsuccessfully. Sorry, didn't know how to use the "CODE" tag. <html> <head> <script type:"text/javascript"> var BGColor = prompt("Would you like the background of the page to be red, green, or blue?","") </script> </head> <body> <script type:"text/javascript"> if (BGColor == "red") { document.write('<body bgcolor= "red">The body of this page is RED. Press F5 to restart!') } else if (BGCOlor == "green") { document.write('<body bgcolor= "green">The body of this page is GREEN. Press F5 to restart!') } else if (BGColor == "blue") { document.write('<body bgcolor= "blue">The body of this page is BLUE.

Here is the code that i am using.

I have also tried making another switch/case that would change the value of the onClick event.. nothing. any sugestions? Hi There, I need your help, I can't seem to get this work, which it theorecticly should work any ideas? <script> var x = 3 switch(x){ case x > 0: alert("overdue") break case x = 0: alert("due today") break case x < 0: alert("will be due") break } </script> Much thanks for everyones help. Cheers, Jay I have a function I call like this: var theBase = getBase(percent); then, the function: function getBase(percent) { var base=''; switch (percent) { case percent.indexOf("this") == 4: base = "that" break; case percent.indexOf("thisOther") == 9: base = "thatOther" break; } return base; } However, even if percent.indexOf("this")==4 (or if any other case matches perfectly), it never enters that case and assigns a value to 'base'. What am I doing wrong? how to make a switch that goes on a button(sorry that i cant describe it better)
Hi, been using javascript for a while now, and wondering how else this could be coded to be more effective and to 'work'. The idea is that the user gets prompted, 'what is your birthday?' the user would put in 0121 or whatever their birthday is, as 01 = month and 21 = day. I'm sure you'll understand what I mean.... Code: <DOCTYPE html> <html> <script> var userAnswer = prompt("When is your birthday? Example: Jan 21st = 0121") </script> <head> </head> <body> <script> if(userAnswer >= 0101){ alert('You are Capricorn!') }; if(userAnswer >= 0120){ alert('You are Aquarius!') }; if(userAnswer >= 0219){ alert('You are Pisces!') }; if(userAnswer >= 0321){ alert('You are Aries') }; if(userAnswer >= 0420){ alert('You are Taurus') }; if(userAnswer >= 0521){ alert('You are Gemini!') }; if(userAnswer >= 0621){ alert('You are Cancer!') }; if(userAnswer >= 0723){ alert('You are Leo!') }; if(userAnswer >= 0823){ alert('You are Virgo!') }; if(userAnswer >= 0923){ alert('You are Libra!') }; if(userAnswer >= 1023){ alert('You are Scorpio!') }; if(userAnswer >= 1122){ alert('You are Sagittarius!') }; if(userAnswer >= 1222){ alert('You are Capricorn!') }; </script> </body> </html> Reply With Quote 01-18-2015, 10:01 AM #2 Mitchellwood101 View Profile View Forum Posts New to the CF scene Join Date Nov 2014 Posts 7 Thanks 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts And then it will alert the user of their star sign****** Reply With Quote 01-18-2015, 05:47 PM #3 Philip M View Profile View Forum Posts Supreme Master coder! Join Date Jun 2002 Location London, England Posts 18,371 Thanks 204 Thanked 2,573 Times in 2,551 Posts If you have been using Javascript for a while now, you should be aware that prompts and alerts are long obsolete, and I would advise that you should not be wasting your time learning this stuff. Use DOM methods to obtain input from and display messages to your users. Be aware that a value starting with 0 is a string, not a number, and so must be in quotes - that is why your code does not work. In any case you need rigorous checking to ensure that the birthday entered in this form is valid, e.g. not 56th Febtember or "Mickey Mouse". You would do best to obtain the input from select lists for month and day, expressed as numbers. A tiny bit more sophistication would allow the user to select a month by name, where the text of the option is the month name, and the value of that option the month number. Code: <select id = "monthlist" onchange = "getSignFunction()"> <option value = "0"> Choose your birth month</option> <option value = 1>January</option> <option value = 2>February</option> ... and so on </select> Then you want something like this:- Code: function getSignFunction()"{ var sign = ""; var month = document.getElementById("monthlist").value; var date = document.getElementById("datelist").value; if (month == 0) {return} // invalid choice if (month == 1 && date >=20 || month == 2 && date <=18) {sign = "Aquarius";} if (month == 2 && date >=19 || month == 3 && date <=20) {sign = "Pisces";} if (month == 3 && date >=21 || month == 4 && date <=19) {sign = "Aries";} if (month == 4 && date >=20 || month == 5 && date <=20) {sign = "Taurus";} if (month == 5 && date >=21 || month == 6 && date <=21) {sign = "Gemini";} if (month == 6 && date >=22 || month == 7 && date <=22) {sign = "Cancer";} if (month == 7 && date >=23 || month == 8 && date <=22) {sign = "Leo";} if (month == 8 && date >=23 || month == 9 && date <=22) {sign = "Virgo";} if (month == 9 && date >=23 || month == 10 && date <=22) {sign = "Libra";} if (month == 10 && date >=23 || month == 11 && date <=21) {sign = "Scorpio";} if (month == 11 && date >=22 || month == 12 && date <=21) {sign = "Sagittarius";} if (month == 12 && date >=22 || month == 1 && date <=19) {sign = "Capricorn";} alert (sign); // alert used here just for testing purposes. Crate as <span> and then use document.getElementById("spanid").innerHTML = sign to display the result to the user. } All advice is supplied packaged by intellectual weight, and not by volume. Contents may settle slightly in transit. Okay, so I got this code originally from another site. (A few months ago) I don't remember the site, and I was wondering if anyone could help me get it back how it was. Originally I believe the if statements were like this: Code: if (hr == 6, 7, 8) document.write("") I want the same code to appear when any of these numbers appear. Here is my current code: Code: document.write("<center><font size=+1>") day = new Date() hr = day.getMinutes() document.write("") if (hr == 0) document.write("<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.1800banners.com/adserver/adserver.js'></script> <script type='text/javascript'> var varsarray=[];

Or do you need more information? This may be a basic programing problem but I am writing a function to validate a form using a bunch of else-if statements and encounters a problem when I use nested if/else-if statements. It will not continue on to the next else-if, after it returns false. Code: // to check each entry on the form and alert user if entry is invalid. function checkform(){ var checkssn = /(\d{3})-(\d{2})-(\d{4})/; var checkphone = /(\d{3})-(\d{4})/; var checkname = /[a-zA-Z]+(\.|,|\s)*/; var checkzip = /(^967|^968)\d{2}(-\d{4})?$/; // check to see if user have selected an Election if (!document.f1.elections[0].checked && !document.f1.elections[1].checked && !document.f1.elections[2].checked && !document.f1.elections[3].checked) { window.alert("Please select an Election!") return false; // check to see if user entered a valid SSN } else if ( checkssn.test(document.f1.ssn.value) == false){ window.alert("[1]. Please enter a valid social security number in the format ddd-dd-ddd"); return false; // check to see if user entered a valid home telephone number or business telephone number }else if ( document.f1.home_phone.value == '' && document.f1.business_phone.value == '') { window.alert("[4].

Please enter a valid home phone number in the format ddd-ddd"); return false; } } else if ( document.f1.business_phone.value != ''){ if ( checkphone.test(document.f1.business_phone.value) == false){ window.alert("[4]. Please enter a valid business phone number in the format ddd-ddd"); return false; } // check to see if user entered a valid Name }else if ( checkname.test(document.f1.lastname.value) == false){ window.alert("[5]. Last Name can only consist of letters, periods(.), commas(,) and spaces"); return false; }else if ( checkname.test(document.f1.firstname.value) == false){ window.alert("[5]. First Name can only consist of letters, periods(.), commas(,) and spaces"); return false; The problem occurs when it validates the phone numbers. When a valid number is entered, it will not move to the next else-if statement to validate the name. It's been years since I program in Java/C, so I'm a bit rusty. Any help is appreciated. -Alex Code: <html> <script> // Author: L Freeman // Date: 11/10/10 // Purpose: Calculate student discount/vat reductions var price = 0; var vat = 17.5; var discount = 10; var reduction = 0; var deduction = 0; var reductionVAT = 0; var priceDiscount = 0; var priceNoVATDiscount = 0; // Calculate new price price = prompt("Enter price:"); // Calculate reduction reduction = (price/100) * discount; priceDiscount = (reductionVAT-reduction); priceNoVATDiscount = (price - reduction); // Calculate vat deduction deduction = (price/100) * vat; reductionVAT = (price - deduction); // Is VAT and/or a discount required? var answer = confirm ("VAT required?") if (answer) { alert ("Price = " + price + ", VAT = " + deduction + ", New Price is: " + reductionVAT) var answer = confirm ("Discount Required?") if (answer) { alert ("Price = " + reductionVAT + ", Discount = " + reduction + "New price is: " + priceDiscount) else alert ("No Discount Required.

Price is: " + price) } } </script> </html> I am having trouble getting this to work properly. What I am trying to do is come up with a simple vat deduction + student discount calculator. I cannot seem to get it working. edit:: got it to work setting inBooth to false in the function where I clear the menu, but then it's refreshing to div so often while you're standing in the booth (30 frames/sec, it's a game) that nothing happens when you click the buttons to buy/sell unless you click really really fast.... anyone know a good way to check whether something is true, then toggle an innerHTML div, then once the value becomes false, toggle the innerHTML div to empty....??simply?? But if I reverse the order the opposite works but then the other doesn't...... Code: if (condition==true ) { generateSale(); inBooth=true; smithShop(); } else {inBooth=false;clearSale();} //IS PLAYER IN VENDOR BOOTH? if (condition2==true ) { generateSale(); inBooth=true; vendorShop(); } else {inBooth=false;clearSale();} Only the "generateSale()" from the second one executes. If I switch the if blocks, the second one with "generateSale()" executes. If I change "clearSale();" to a "setTimeout=('clearSale()',1000)" then both execute "generateSale()" but the div it affects flickers repeatedly as it's cleared/remade. generateSale() changes the innerHTML of a div, clearSale() just overwrites the innerHTML with ' ' Code: var sales2; function clearSale() { sales2=document.getElementById('sales2'); sales2.innerHTML=''; } function generateSale(){ sales2=document.getElementById('sales2'); sales2.innerHTML= 'Buy/Sell: '+' Gold coins: '+playerInventory[lootArray[7]]+'<br>' +' Consumables:<br>' +'You have: '+playerItems[itemArray[4]] +' arrows<br>' +'<input type="button" value="Buy" onclick="buyIt(0);">'+'10 for 50gp<br>' +'<input type="button" value="Sell" onclick="sellIt(0);">'+'10 for 25gp<br>' } Any ideas? Basically when my character enters the range of an image of a building I have a menu pop up saying you're in a vendor booth. I want it to run generateSale() which changes a div on the screen to list a bunch of stuff you can buy/sell. When your character is no longer standing in range, I want it to clear that information, so you have to be standing within range in order to trade items. Currently I can make it generates the sale menu, but it doesn't clear it when you leave the range. I've tried all kinds of "toggle" variables to set whether you're in range or not, but only the second block fires, not the first and I cannot figure out why... Any ideas? The code all works fine it just won't clear for all the different buildings, only one.... The issue I am having is with my sumAll function: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function addNumbers() { a = parseInt(document.getElementById('txtFirst').value); b = parseInt(document.getElementById('txtSecond').value); c = parseInt(document.getElementById('txtThird').value); d = parseInt(document.getElementById('txtFourth').value); ansE = document.getElementById("Sum"); ansE.value = '$' + (a + b + c + d); x = (a + b + c + d); if ( x >= 100000) { document.getElementById('Bonus').value = '$' + 1200; } else if ( x > 50000 && x<100000) { document.getElementById('Bonus').value = '$' + 800; } else { document.getElementById('Bonus').value = '$' + 0; } if (document.getElementById('Blue').checked == true && document.getElementById('Gala').checked == true) { document.getElementById('Committee').value = '$' + 800; } else if (document.getElementById('Blue').checked == true && document.getElementById('Gala').checked == false) { document.getElementById('Committee').value = '$' + 350; } else if (document.getElementById('Blue').checked == false && document.getElementById('Gala').checked == true) { document.getElementById('Committee').value = '$' + 450; } else { document.getElementById('Committee').value = '$' + 0; } } function sumAll() { y = parseInt(document.getElementById('Bonus').value); z = parseInt(document.getElementById('Committee').value); total = document.getElementById("Total"); total.value = (y + z); } function funcCalc() { addNumbers(); sumAll(); } /* ]]> */ </script> I'm really new to this and I'm trying to figure out how to sum the two values from if statements. ParseInt is returning NaN. Before that, it was adding my results together as strings. Is there an easy way to add these together without creating a very complicated if statement to total these up? Thanks! |
