JavaScript - Finding Two Or More Matching Largest Values In An Array.
Hi I am currently writing a program to analyse (to a degree), the points scored in a dance contest. The program mainly works so far. However I am struggling to conclude the program end. Using an if statement, I would like to compute if a dance-off is required, looping through the combinedPointsArray and determining if 2 or more numbers hold the higest score and are equal.
The aim is to provide: Maximum number of combined points The couples and their combined points The couples names with the highest points If two or more couples have equal highest combined points - output whether a dance-off is required. This is my program so far: Code: <HTML>

Any help would be really appreciated. I have spent so long on this; consequently I am pulling my hair out. Regards hyp3r Similar TutorialsHi Having a small problem with writing out the matches from an array using a For loop. I have two arrays, lets say arrayA and arrayB. In arrayB are numbers which are a number of miles, ie 1,2,6,4,5,6,6. And in arrayA are the days of the week. Each day of the week is associated with a mileage, ie Mon = 1, Tues = 2 etc. My script has found the largest mileage in arrayB. Next I have to find the days of the week that match this highest mileage and write these out, along the lines of "The highest mileage was 6 run on Wed, Sat, Sun." I have managed to get a For loop to work with this BUT..... I can only get it to write out the first instance of the day the match is found. ie "The highest mileage was 6 run on Wed," Pointers in the right direction to help me solve this problem would be much appreciated. [CODE] maximumDistanceIndex = 0; for (var distance = 1; distance < distanceArray.length; distance = distance + 1) { if (distanceArray[distance] > distanceArray[maximumDistanceIndex] ) { maximumDistanceIndex = distance document.write ('The maximum distance was ' + maximumDistance + ' km' + ' run on ' + dayArray[maximumDistanceIndex] ); } } [CODE] Hi all, I am in a non-major class called webprogramming working with javascript and I'm having an issue with a specific code wondering if someone could tell me what's wrong! So I am suppose to compute and return the average of all values in a given array named customerBalance, the array holds the amount of "what customers owe my business" (I dont own a business) and each item in the array holds the "customers balance", i also have to use a for() to process the array and calculate the average and divide by customerBalance length, and finally return the average. Here is my code so far <script> function average() { customerBalance for(i=0,i++) sum(customerBalance) total=sum/5 return average; }; </script> I know that this is COMPLETELY wrong, I am not sure on how i start typing the array, please don't be harsh I would really like to know how to do this. Thank you and have a great day hey guys im not new to javascript but arrays still confuse me exspecialy when put into loops ok say i had 2 arrays i have used jquerry to extract a question lets say this is the question How long is a piece of string? the answer is for this example infinite so what i want to do is search the question trough a array with 21984 and more in the future when it finds the match it then looks at the answers array at the same array length as where the question was found then sends the answer to a variable for later use could someone give me a example on how to do this please? Hi there, I am trying to pick the larger of 5 numbers and sometimes there is a tie. I would like to prioritize variable c1 if there is a tie. This data is from a quiz I am writing. var c1 = 2; // Takes priority if there is a tie. var c2 = 1; var c3 = 2; var c4 = 0; var c5 = 0; Hi Guys, How do I sum the values of an array and output the result using document.write? Say my array is var number=new Array(1.234,56.43,1.02); THANKS Thought this wud work? Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]; document.write(sum(x)); </script> hello I am having a problem to add numbers store in an array. arrayValues[0][0] = 1; arrayValues[0][1] = 2; var col = 0; var sum; for ( var row = 0; row < index; i++ ) sum += arrayValues[col][row]; my result is ==> 12 it is defining my sum variable as string. even I try do do this var sum = 0; to define sum as numeric variable. my result was ==>012. Any idea, this is my first javaScritp code. Thanks. Hi all I am trying to create a code which stores information about songs The information to be stored are : song ID song name song artist song URL So far what I've done is create an empty array with four properties The code asks the user to enter information and then displays them However i'm having difficulty figuring out how to insert all the information entered in the array. For example if information about 3 songs were entered, how can I insert all of them in the array I created. After storing the information, I want to be able to search for songs by their ID. When I wrote the function to do this, if lets say I entered two songs one with S1 as ID and one with S2 as ID, I type S1 in the search box, but it doesn't return anything. However if I enter S2, it returns the information of the track with this ID, which makes me think that entering information for a second song overwrites the first one This is my code so far: <html> <body> <h1>Tracks and Artists</h1> <script type="text/javascript"> function request(tracks) { for (var i=0;i<2;i++) { tracks.trackID = prompt("Enter track ID") tracks.trackName = prompt("Enter track name") tracks.trackArtist = prompt("Enter artist name") tracks.trackURL = prompt("Enter track URL") alert(display(tracks)) } } function insert() { function display(tracks) { return "Track ID: " + tracks.trackID + "\nTrack name: " + tracks.trackName + "\nTrack artist: " + tracks.trackArtist + "\nTrack URL: " + tracks.trackURL } var tracks = [{trackID: "", trackName:"", trackArtist:"", trackURL:"" }] request(tracks) </script> </body> </html> hi, I have this keypressed function: Code: function keyPressed(event, input) {
if (event.keyCode == 8) {
return true;
}
var char = event.which ? event.which : event.keyCode;
char = String.fromCharCode(char);
var exers = "1234 1234 1234";
return (exers.charAt(input.value.length) == char);
}
This function allow me to press in order the numbers in array (index0). It is works very well. But i want to add an array with more exercises like: Code: var exerc = new Array();
exerc[0]= "1234 1234 1234";
exerc[1] = "5678 5678 5678";
exerc[2] = "9012 9012 9012";
Also, i have a dropdown menu that parser options from a xml file: Code: <form> <select style="width:100px" id='courses'> </select> </form> and my xml file looks like: Code: <courses>
<course title="exercise 1">
<lesson>1234 1234 1234</lesson>
</course>
<course title="exercise 2">
<lesson>5678 5678 5678</lesson>
</course>
<course title="exercise 3">
<lesson>9012 9012 9012</lesson>
</course>
.
.
.
</courses>
*I write the same index because i have two input field. I see the first choose (depend on dropdown) in first input, and i rewrite the same exercise in the second input. So, it's something like an exercise for me and i stack here. - I repeat. It is work with only one index very well. The problem is that, when i add more that one index in the array. Any suggestion about my problem?Javascript it is not my strong point I try this but it is doesn't work.Baybe it is totally wrong! Code: function keyPressed(event, input) {
if (event.keyCode == 8) {
return true;
}
var char = event.which ? event.which : event.keyCode;
char = String.fromCharCode(char);
var exerc = new Array();
exerc[0]= "1234 1234 1234";
exerc[1] = "5678 5678 5678";
exerc[2] = "9012 9012 9012";
for (i=0;i<exerc.length;i++)
{
document.getElementById("courses").selectedIndex;
}
return (exers.charAt(input.value.length) == char);
}
I'm having problems with selecting values from array. I have a dropdown box where you choose what fruit you want to buy. When selected the array should assign 2 values to that fruit. I don't know how to do that. Here's what I have.. I added comments. Javascript part: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function Fruits() {
var selectfruit = newArray( //assigning values to fruit selected from dropdown box
newArray("Banana", 1, 1),
newArray("Apple", 1.2, 0.5),
newArray("Mango", 1.1, 0.9),
newArray("Orange", 0.1, 9.99));
var howmanyfruits = Number(document.getElementById("howmanyfruits").value); // how many fruits are you buying
var totalfruitsowned = Number(document.getElementById("totalfruitowned").value); // How many fruits do you already have
/* cash and coupons needed to buy fruits.
cash is cpst for 1 fruit.
coupons is cost for 1 fruit
cash_all is cost for all fruits you're buying
coupons_all is cost for all fruits you're buying
each fruits requires cash AND coupons to be bought. Cash and coupons are tied to the first values in Array.
Eg. If you choose Apple that value would be 1.2
The 'fruitsmaxtobuy' variable is not tied to the first value, but the second one in array.
If you choose Apple that value would be 0.5.
*/
var cash = Math.round(((totalfruitsowned * 0.51 * selectfruit) + 700)*10)/10;
var coupons = Math.round(((totalfruitsowned * 0.51 * selectfruit) + 850)*10)/10;
var cash_all = Math.round((howmanyfruits * cash)*10)/10;
var coupons_all = Math.round((howmanyfruits * coupons)*10)/10;
var fruitsmaxtobuy = Math.round((totalfruitsowned * 0.12 * selectfruit)*10)/10;
/*
Display Error if nothing is entered or if you forget to enter total fruits
*/
if (((howmanyfruits=="" || howmanyfruits==null) && (totalfruitsowned=="" || totalfruitsowned==null)) || ((howmanyfruits==Number(document.getElementById("howmanyfruits").value)) && (totalfruitsowned=="" || totalfruitsowned==null)))

Hi How can i output two maximum numbers of an array if they are equal? var flower["roses", "violets", "buttercups", "daisies"]; var flowerAmounts[9, 8, 3, 9]; Output should be: The maximum amount of flowers is 9. There are 9 roses and 9 daisies. Hope someone can help, thanks hi guys i hava gridview gvcustomers with following fields latitude,longitude,customer and i have a javascript function in my aspx page fucntion Customer() { AddCustomer(lat1,long1)--- row1 of gridview lat long AddCustomer(lat2,long2)--row2 of gridview lat long } in the above function i would like to loop through the gridview and get the latitude and longitude colmns in the function instead of hardcoding as i have been doing now...thank you i advance hi, i am currently working on aptana stuidio Nokia WRT to create a mobile widget. the projects requires the retrieval of data from a database. I've created a java servlet in eclipse to connect and execute query to the database. In aptana, i'm using js file and html file. i am able to connect to the servlet, process the data (split it) and store in an array to display the retrieved data on screen. But now i am facing problems to put the retrieved data (array) into a drop down list for selection. can i do it in a js file? thanks =) I am a beginner. I am trying to create a script to randomly assign recipients to givers for a Secret Santa. The participants are placed into groups. A giver cannot be assigned a recipient with whom he is grouped.

Hi all, Decided to start learning JavaScript, started 2 days ago. Anyway, I'm trying to create a simple script spits out a styled result based on a user input. Here is my JS: Code: function dispTable (form) {
var userCost2 = form.venCost2.value * 1;
marArray = new Array ("0.05", "0.1", ".15", "0.2", "0.25", "0.3", "0.35", "0.4", "0.45", "0.5", "0.55", "0.6", "0.65", "0.7", "0.75", "0.8");
for (var i=0; i<marArray.length; i++) {
document.tableDiv.innerHTML = "<div>"
document.tableDiv.innerHTML = userCost2;
document.tableDiv.innerHTML = marArray[i];
document.tableDiv.innerHTML = + userCost2 * marArray[i];
document.tableDiv.innerHTML = "<\/div>";
}
}
Here is my HTML: Code: <div class="container">
<form name="lasoCalcTable">
<span>Enter Vendor Cost</span>
<input class="textForm" name="venCost2" id="venCost2" type="text" size="8" />
<hr />
<input class="butForm" name="calcTblBut" type="button" value="Calculate" onclick="dispTable()" /><br />
</form>
<div title="tableDiv" id="tableDiv">
</div>
</div>
The problem is that nothing is happening when I press the calculation button. What I would like to happen is to display a div element for each value in the array which displays the entered value from VenCost2, the current Margin %, and the result of VenCost2 * margin%. I want this to display on the same page and underneath the calculation button, preferably not having to reload the page. I thought this was going to be relatively easy but doesn't seem so! Thanks for your help I have the following script that currently returns 4 of the same images. I can't wrap my head around how to get it to return 4 random images (out of the 7 in this example)? Also the links aren't working? --- Code: var imagenumber = 7 ;
var randomnumber = Math.random() ;
var rand1 = Math.round( (imagenumber-1) * randomnumber) + 1;
images= new Array
images[1] = "image1.jpg"
images[2] = "image2.jpg"
images[3] = "image3.jpg"
images[4] = "image4.jpg"
images[5] = "image5.jpg"
images[6] = "image6.jpg"
images[7] = "image7.jpg"
var image = images[rand1]
links= new Array
links[1] = "link1.html"
links[2] = "link2.html"
links[3] = "link3.html"
links[4] = "link4.html"
links[5] = "link5.html"
links[6] = "link6.html"
links[7] = "link7.html"
var link = links[rand1]
document.write('<div id="image-1"><a href="' + link + '"><img src="' + image + '"></a></div><div id="image-2"><a href="' + link + '"><img src="' + image + '"></a></div><div id="image-3"><a href="' + link + '"><img src="' + image + '" border="0"></a></div><div id="image-4"><a href="' + link + '"><img src="' + image + '"></a></div>')
--- Any help would be greatly appreciated! Hello guys, I'm very new to javascript and I have a question. I'm creating a calculator. This calculator has a memory function in it. When people inserted a value in the calculator then the user can save this value with button "M+". When the user wants to use this value again he can simply paste it into the calculator with button "MR". This works fine, however I'm working on a function that will remember the different memory value when a user clicks on the button. So if the memorized value is 5, and the user will click the button "ATA" (add to array) it will create the value "5" into an array (which will be the value of array[0]. When the user remembers a other memory value, lets say 9, and clicks on the button "ATA" again it will create the value "9" into the same array (which will be the value of array[1]). My current method doesn't seem to work, it only saves the first value. What am I doing wrong here? Code: // ATA
function saveAta() {
var saved = new Array();
saved.push(m); // variable m is from the function of M+
}
Got the complte script running he http://xquzive.com/javascript/calc.html Is there a built in method to remove empty array elements
Hello, I have an array containing 100 different values. How would I randomly pick 25 of them for display? For now I do: PHP Code: for (var i=0; i<markers.length && i<25; i++) { html += markers[i].name + '<br />'; } Which of course returns 25 values but always in the same order which is not what I want. Thanks in advance! PS. My array could also contain only 20 values, in which case I would like the function to display the 20 values randomly sorted. So I am working on an excercise that the User puts in a Lastname, Firstname, and a score via textboxes. When the user pushes the add student score it should show up in the text area with this format " Brown, John: 92". When looking at the logic, I understand that each text box will need to be different arrays if im right, and then I will have to concat all three arrays into the format and assign it to a variable. Then assign the variable to the value of the text area. I just cannot seem to put the function together or how you would go about it. I just need help with how to go about putting it together. The first code is my body of HTML I'm working with. Code: <body>
<div id="content">
<h1>Student Scores</h1>
<div id="buddy">
<b>Last Name: </b><input type="text" id="lastName" />
<b>First Name: </b><input type="text" id="firstName" />
<b>Sco </b><input type="text" id="score" />
<input type="button" id="calculate" value="Add Student Scores" />
