JavaScript - Math And Date Help
I can't wrap my head around this at the moment so with the hope of finding someone willing to take a stab I am posting this to all of you.
I need to create a savings ticker that shows $ saved per second. The data is as follows then = date script is created now = current date std = savings to date in $ avg = average savings per second in $ It would need to calculate the difference in time between then and now, convert that to an integer that can then be multiplied by avg then std would be added. thanks in advance Similar TutorialsNot sure if this is possible in javascript: I'm looking for two different dates (bill date and due date) on an invoice that are captured by OCR. If one of them exists, but the other does not, I want the empty field to be 14 days before (or after) the other. For example: if the bill date is 7/27/2010 and the due date was not captured, I want to set the due date as 8/10/2010 (14 days after the bill date). If the due date was captured as 8/10/2010, but the due date is blank, I want to assign the bill date as 7/27/2010 (14 days before the due date). if both dates have values, do nothing. Thanks. I'm new to programming and can't figure out why this won't work: Code: print " var 1A == Math.sqrt(Math.pow(B,2) - Math.pow(C,2)); \n"; print " var 1B == Math.sqrt(Math.pow(A,2) + Math.pow((F + G),2)); \n"; print " var 1C == B + D; \n"; print " var 1D == C - B; \n"; print " var 1E == E; \n"; print " var 1F == (Math.sqrt(Math.pow(C,2) - Math.pow(A,2)) - G); \n"; print " var 1G == (Math.sqrt(Math.pow(C,2) + Math.pow(A,2)) - F); \n"; print " var 1H == ((F + G) / B); \n"; I have tried debugging it using Firebug and I get this error: Quote: identifier starts immediately after numeric literal I get the error on the line with var 1A, but I'm pretty sure that 1B, 1F, and 1G would all have the same error. Thanks for the help in advance guys! BTW the reason why the code is being printed is because I'm programming with Perl and running on a webpage using html and javascript. Just started to learn java & came up with the following, but can't get the math.round to work.

I have to write a script that outputs XHTML text that keeps displaying in the browser window that multiples of the integer 2, namely 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc. This is the code i have, Code: <!-- var product=2; while { product =2*product; } document.writeln( +product+ ); // --> And it pretty much does nothing. Help would be much appreciated Dave How can you add/substract two numbers in javascript if they are written out as words such as one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine|ten. Code: if ((word[0].match(/one|two|three|4|five|six|seven|eight|nine|ten/)) && (word[1].match(/plus|add/)) && (word[2].match(/one|two|three|4|five|six|seven|eight|nine|ten/))) { document.result.result.value = "The answer is ?"; return true;} Either I made an uh-oh, or there is a serious problem with Javscripts math functions. Math.sin(x) returns the sine of x in radians. Last time I checked, the sine of pi radians is 0, but in javascript: Code: Math.sin(Math.PI) // returns 1.2246467991473532e-16 Any idea why? Julian I'm making a 3d pie chart. I have the points and the correct method to fill everything but when the slice rotates I want to make the outer edge filled, but in order to do that I have to figure out what math I use to find the leading edge. I made a picture to hopefully explin what I need to find. I figure it might be the tangent but I was hoping someone smarter than I could send me in the right direction. I just need someone to help me pinpoint my next step. Right now the rendering uses start and end angles to first make the top and bottom sections, fills them and then it makes an arc along the top of the slice from start to end then from end to start on the bottom slice and completes the polygon by going back the first point in the arc. I need to make two separate polygons if the end or start are further from the center than the( tangent?) point. Need some advice. Hope someone has an idea. Hi. I am new to javascript programming so please go easy on me. I am creating a website for a flooring store and need to include a price calculator/estimator. What I need to do is allow the visitor to input the room size (length x width) and choose a flooring material from a pulldown list, and receive a price. The pulldown list would have flooring materials such as carpet, tile, wood, etc and each of these would have a fixed dollar amount associated with them (which would be hidden). So basically it is just a script that would multiply 3 numbers, with two of the numbers being input by the visitor, and the third being selected from the pulldown. Can this be done with Javascript, and can someone please educate me on how to do this? Hi. I am new to javascript programming so please go easy on me.

If the year is greater than 20 years ago, I'd like additional form fields to be revealed. If the year is equal to or less than 20 years ago, it will not reveal the fields. (And it should be based on getFullYear(), so I don't have to update the script every year, yeah?) I figured out how to script onclick functions and some basic .value == functions in order to show/hide just about every type of form field. So I don't need that info. But I'm unsure of how to calculate the value. I'd be interested to see your solutions. No rush. Thanks in advance. Im trying to get all of these math functions into one table with each one going into an individual row. The following is what my Grad Assistant gave us as instructions..he is not real helpful..lol The goal of project to is to create a webpage that makes use of javascript to perform a dynamic number of operations. The program must first ask for a number of operations to perform (n).It is therefore required that a loop construct be used. The program will then ask the user n times what operation they would like to perform and the appropriate inputs for that operation. All of the operations will use integer type inputs except ceiling, floor, and round which will use float types. The required operations for this project will be 1. + 2. * 3. / 4. % 5. min 6. max 7. floor 8. ceil 9. round The output of each operation will be stored in a table. The required outputs for each row are the operation requested, the expression for the operation showing its structure (see below), the result of the operation and additionally a random number. The random number should be within one and the number of operations requested. (ex: 5 operations requested, random number is in the range 0-5) A sample of what this output will look like is shown here. let me know if you can help it is much appreciated..the course book does not cover most of what is being taught and in class time could be better spent self taught! lol ..midterms suck and its almost time for the weekend so I could really use some help!! thx again Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function countItDown(){ var current=parseFloat(document.getElementById("currentsecondscount").value); var seconds=current; document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML="S "+current; var minutes=Math.floor(seconds/60); document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML+="<br>M "+minutes; var hours=Math.floor(minutes/60); document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML+="<br>H "+hours; var days=Math.floor(hours/24); document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML+="<br>D "+days; var remainingseconds=seconds-(minutes*60); document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML+="<br>RS "+remainingseconds; var remainingminutes=minutes-(hours*60); document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML+="<br>RM "+remainingminutes; var remaininghours=hours-(days*24); document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML+="<br>RH "+remaininghours; if(days<10){ days="0"+days; } if(remaininghours<10){ remaininghours="0"+remaininghours;} if(remainingminutes<10){ remainingminutes="0"+remainingminutes;} if(remainingseconds<10){ remainingseconds="0"+remainingseconds;} document.getElementById("days").innerHTML=days; document.getElementById("hours").innerHTML=remaininghours; document.getElementById("minutes").innerHTML=remainingminutes; document.getElementById("seconds").innerHTML=remainingseconds; document.getElementById("currentsecondscount").value=(current-1); } </script> ....... <input type="hidden" id="currentsecondscount" value="<?=$seconds;?>" /> ....... Chrome/IE/etc on Left... FF 3.6.3 [windows] on Right im not sure why Firefox is doing this. it seems to work fine on Firefox 3.6.3 for Mac... ok so heres where I stand, I don't know too much about javascript. Just enough to get me by. I am a PHP developer, I know how to do this in PHP but the client insists on doing it through javascript. Basically there are 3 different form values that determine the Premium Death Benefit Ratio. This is the formula the client wants: Premium to Death Benefit Ratio % (Created by formula = Annual (Level) Premium Amount (Divided by) Death Benefit Amount (equals a percentage) That percentage multiplied by Life Expectancy The 3 form values in the formula would be Annual Premium Amount (fypremium), Death Benefit Amount (dbp), Life Expectancy (average_le) I was messing around with javascript trying to figure it out and I have gotten no where since I am not used to writing formulas in JS. Anyways here is what I have so far: Code: function calculateLE(inputFieldId1, inputFieldId2, inputFieldId3, outputFieldId){ var DBR; var input = document.getElementById(inputFieldId).value; APA = document.getElementById(fypremium).value; DBA = document.getElementById(dbp).value; LE = document.getElementById(average_le).value; formula = document.getElementById(fypremium).value / document.getElementById(dbp).value = formula3; formula2 = document.getElementById(average_le).value * formula3; if { APA = "" } { document.getElementById(outputFieldId).value = "Error getting Annual Premium Amount"; } else if { DBA = "" } { document.getElementById(outputFieldId).value = "Error getting Death Benefit Amount"; } else if { LE = "" } { document.getElementById(outputFieldId).value = "Error getting Life Expectancy"; } else { document.getElementById(outputFieldId).value = formula3; } } Now I honestly have no clue if I am on the right track but what i've found on the net hasnt really pointed me in the right direction Here is the form values. Code: <input type="text" name="fypremium" id="fypremium" onblur="calculateLE('fypremium', 'dbp', 'average_le', 'premium_dbr')"> <input type="text" name="dbp" id="dbp" onblur="calculateLE('fypremium', 'dbp', 'average_le', 'premium_dbr')"> <input type="text" name="average_le" id="average_le" onblur="calculateLE('fypremium', 'dbp', 'average_le', 'premium_dbr')"> In a nut shell the values for the 3 inputs stated above will determine premium_dbr's value. fypremium / dbp = percentage; average_le * percentage = DBR (death benefit ratio); If someone could point me in the right direction to finishing this id be very greatful. I have this simple manual photo slide show. It shows four photos and when you click the next button and it moves one photo over and one photo back for the previous button. I have to moving by changing the CSS property of 'left' by 195 pixels each move. So for it to move next it will subtract 195 pixels from the left property and for moving back it add 195 pixels to the left property. I have the code setup so when you click it changes the property of left to either -195 or 195 pixels but I need it so it actually does the math, not just give it a set value. But I don't know how to do that. Code: function MM_changeProp(objId,x,theProp,theValue) { //v9.0 var obj = null; with (document){ if (getElementById) obj = getElementById(objId); } if (obj){ if (theValue == true || theValue == false) eval("obj.style."+theProp+"="+theValue); else eval("obj.style."+theProp+"='"+theValue+"'"); } } function nextPhoto() { MM_changeProp('fanThumbWrapOne','','left','-195px','DIV') } function prevPhoto() { MM_changeProp('fanThumbWrapOne','','left','195px','DIV') } so where you see -195px and 195px in the functions for nextPhoto and prevPhoto I need those to actually be functions where it subtracts 195px or adds 195px. i had to create a function to calculate percentage and round to integer need 2 parameters of item and sum function will return value of item variable divide the sum by 100 and round to nearest integer using Math.round this is my code that i came up with Code: function calcPercent(item,sum){ // script element to calculate the percentage which is rounded to the nearest integer var items = Math.round( (item/sum)*100); // script element to get the percentage return items; } calcPercent(1, 3); Does this make sense? thanks I am at a lost, new to JavaScript and not sure why I am getting Nan Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var num1; var num2; var num3; var ave_num=Math.round((num1 + num2 + num3) / 3); //follow prompts to enter numbers and print average </script> Hi all, I have a website that allows users to enter complex mathematical formulas into a text field and evaluates them. I am currently using eval() because it not only can handle all the standard mathematical functions, but also gives them access to the Math object. That way the users can use functions such as Math.max() and everything else. I realize, though, that using eval is evil, I assume because a malicious user might throw in some more damaging javascript that would be run without checking it. (That's why eval is evil, right?) Is there a way that I can allow my users to construct complex mathematical formulas and use the Math object (or an equivalent) without potentially opening my site up to harm? Hello everyone at CodingForums! This is my first post on this site and I would really appreciate any help I can get, First off, all I am trying to do is have someone enter one value into a field then another value into the second field, then have javascript subtract those numbers. This is my first time trying to do something on my own without tutorial help, so I am for the most part just stumbling in the dark. here is what I have thus far: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var lastMonth; var thisMonth; function diff(form) { var difference; difference = lastMonth - thisMonth; form.Fdiff.value = difference; } function SetLast(usuage) { lastMonth = usuage.value; } function SetThis(usuage2) { thisMonth = usuage2.value; } // --> </script> <center> <form method="post"> <TABLE border=3> <tr> <tr> <td><p>Last Months <br /> Usuage</p></td> <td><p>This Months <br /> Usuage</p></td> <td><p>Difference</p></td> <TD><INPUT TYPE=BUTTON ONCLICK="diff(this.form)" VALUE="Calculate"></TD> </tr> <tr> </tr> <td><p><input type=text name=lastMonth size="4" onchange="SetLast(usuage)"></p></td> <td><p><input type=text name=thisMonth size="4" onchange="SetThis(usuage2)"></p></td> <td><p><INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Fdiff" VALUE="" SIZE="6"></p></TD> <TD><p></p></tr> </tr> </tr> </table> </form> </center> </center> I'm going off of the code found at this site "http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/cut141.shtml" for a calorie counter. the way the code is now, I get a NaN in the difference box.
