JavaScript - For Loops With Arrays
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. Similar TutorialsHow does my array look so far? thanks I think so what i was supposed to do was insert a script element that contains the function amountTotal() then add commands to the function such as 1 declare variable named total, set intial value to 0 2 create a FOR LOOP that loops all values in amount array. add current value of array item to value of total variable 3 when completed return value of total variable This is what I came up with tell me if this makes sense Thanks Quote: title>The Lighthouse</title> <link href="lhouse.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="list.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function amountTotal() { totalAmount=0; for(var i=0; i<amountTotal.length; i++){ total+=amount(i); { return total; } </script> </head> Does this seem right or is my format all wrong? if so what should i have instead? thanks 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've now got to form an average of snowfall inputs, taken from looped prompts, however I'm not allowed to use arrays or functions... Almost every example I see uses arrays, such as this one he http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=4313 Is it possible to not use arrays to form the average? Please describe how to do this in general terms, as was highlighted in that link ^^^ I want to learn, not copy, although one can be derived from the other... What I haveso far, assume all vars have been announced. Code: for (var d=1; d<=numofinputs; d=d+1)
{
input = prompt("Enter a data input" + d)
}
Is it possible I'm attempting this in too general a manner? ie, running before I can walk. Hello everyone I am having trouble with a project i am supposed to be doing which is to turn structured English into coding joined with the code i am about to post !! This is the code i have written so far that works: var contestantNamesArray = ['Tom and Nazia', 'Pat and Dan', 'Sandra and Kofi', 'Ian and Adele', 'Paul and Costas']; var judgesPointsArray = [2,1,5,4,3]; var audiencePointsArray = [4,5,2,3,1]; var combinedPointsArray = new Array (5) for (var couple = 0; couple < combinedPointsArray.length; couple = couple + 1) { combinedPointsArray[couple] = judgesPointsArray[couple] + audiencePointsArray[couple]; } var maxCombinedPoints = 0; for (var couple = 0; couple < combinedPointsArray.length; couple = couple + 1) { if (combinedPointsArray[couple] > combinedPointsArray[maxCombinedPoints]) { maxCombinedPoints = couple; } } document.write('The maximum number of points was ' + combinedPointsArray[maxCombinedPoints] + '<BR>'); document.write('The couple(s) scoring the maximum were' + ':' + '<BR>'); Now with that code there i have just posted, I am supposed to take this structured English below and combine them together but cannot work out how to link or code it to get it to work. write out a heading for the list of couples scoring the maximum declare a variable to keep count of how many couples scored the maximum value and initialise it to zero for each couple if this couple scored the maximum write out the couple's names increase the count of couples who scored the maximum value end if if a dance-off is required write out that a dance-off is required else write out that a dance-off is not required end if end for I have tried myself but i am stuck at how to link the contestantNamesArray with the rest of the code in order to be able to display the couples who scored the maximum points and store it in a new variable and then write out the names. Sorry if i have posted wrongly this is my first time and i am a new learner to JavaScript trying to learn basics. Thank you anyone in advance and if you need any further information i will provide anything you need. Gary I am having an issue with this script I wrote. Actually it works the way it is now, but not the way I want it too. This is a random raffle ticket number generater. The guys at the fire department where talking about selling 300 tickets and discussing how they were going to select and call the numbers. It got me thinking and inspired to start messing around with javascript again. It all starts with index.html and a form w/ a button and textarea. When a user clicks the button it will generate a random number and insert it into the textarea. This is accomplished by the Generate(); function that is in Genny.js an external js file. Code: <h2>Raffle Ticket Number Generator</h2> <form name="theform"> <input type="button" name="pickNumber" value="Pick a Winner" onclick="Generate();" /> <br /><br /> <textarea cols="40" rows="25" name="winnersCircle">Winning Numbers Will Display Here! </textarea> </form> This much works just fine. Now onto Genny.js Code: //initialize counter and array
count = 1;
winners = new Array();
function Generate(){
//generate a random number from 0-300
var random_number = Math.floor(Math.random()*301);
//checks output of Math.random() against winners array to see if number has been used already
for (i = 0; i < winners.length; i++ ) {
if ( winners[i] == random_number )
alert("I am so sorry... we have accidently drawn a duplicate number! Please pick again.");
}
//add the number to the array
winners[count] = random_number;
//increment the counter
count++;
//display the stored random number
document.theform.winnersCircle.value = winners.join("\n");
}
This much works...somewhat! It generates the random number and checks the winners array to see if it is already used. If it wasn't used it adds the number to the array, increments the counter, and then displays the number in the textarea of the form, as it should. If the number was used it alerts the user, once the user clicks the button to accept the alert it carries on with the script and adds it to the array again and also displays it. This is not what I want it to do. If the number was used I do not want it added to the array or displayed. I would also like it to regenerate another number without the alert. The alert was wrote in to assist me in checking to see if it was finding a duplicate number, thats all. As an extra, is there a way to also add a numbered list to the results. To show the sequence of the ticket draw. I have messed with this for days and rewrote it over and over. I have used different loops and conditional operators to try and solve this problem. But to no avail. Here I am, asking not for the answer but a push in the right direction. Any help would be great, this is becoming an obsession trying to make it work. The code above is the last attempt at this point. Everything else has returned no values or just errors. Thanks in advance! I need to loop the alphabet and numbers 0-9 to initialize a few thousand arrays. This is for my site and is truly needed. http://www.thefreemenu.com I currently have every array written out and it takes up to much space in my .js file. The majority of my variables are empty but necessary and need to be there (including empty) for my site to work properly. Question is the last part Here's where I'm at. Code: var NewVarLetterOrNum = "a";
eval("_oneofseveralnames_" + NewVarLetterOrNum + "='this part works';");
alert(_oneofseveralnames_a);
This creates the variable _oneofseveralnames_a='this part works' Code: var newArrayLetterOrNum = "a";
eval("_oneofseveralnames_" + newArrayLetterOrNum + "= new Array();");
alert(_oneofseveralnames_a)
This creates the Array _oneofseveralnames_a=new Array(); and all the values in the array are null, but, now a variable like _nl_a[1]='something' can be used elsewhere because the array exists. This is all that is necessary for now because I can probably set all the variables to be blank with something like Code: i=1
while(i<=20){
_oneofseveralnames_a[i]="1-20";
i++
}
alert(_oneofseveralnames_[20]);
So now you have what I came to understand in the first few hours. Now to the hard part : ( I can't make multiple array's dynamically. I dont' know if its because I don't understand loops or arrays or what and its very fustrating. As for any answer you might be so kind as to provide, if you could dumb it down that would be greatly appreciated. Code: var newArray =new Array('a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z')
i=1
while(i<=26){
eval("_nl_" + newArray[i] + "= new Array();");
i++
}
alert(newArray[1]) // Is b, but
alert(_nl_b) //I can't get _nl_b to exist, I tried everything including taking away the quotes around the letters in every test
*/
var _nl_a =new Array()
var _img_a =new Array()
var _h_a =new Array()
var _r_a =new Array()
var _m_a =new Array()
var _yt_a =new Array()
var _i_a =new Array()
The above arrays are all the array _name_ parts I need but for example, a has 10 parts, a,p2_a,p3_a,.. p10_a. I need 10 pages for each letter of the alphabet and numbers 0-9 and a special all1, p2_all1 ... p10_all1. Overall 2200 arrays that need to be declared. Currently they are all written out.

Hey Guys! 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"

Regards 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>); ?

so any improvements or what i am missing in my functions. 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 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 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. 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? 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.

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! 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 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 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";
}
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 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.
