JavaScript - Javascript Finding Average From An Array.
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 Similar TutorialsHi i need to find the highest average from all of the averages entered in this code, but i have to use an if statement only, no arrays. Could some one help please? Code: // ** Work out average ** //
average= readingSum/totalReadings
// ** Put average into a category and display everything ** //
if(average<5)
{
catergory1=alert("Location is " + region + "\nNumber of weekly readings taken is " + totalReadings + "\nTotal of readings is" + readingSum + "\nAverage is" + average + "\nLocation is Dry");
}
else if(average>=5 && average<20)
{
catergory2=alert("Location is " + region + "\nNumber of weekly readings taken is " + totalReadings + "\nTotal of readings is" + readingSum + "\nAverage is" + average + "\nLocation is Normal");
}
else if(average>20)
{
catergory3=alert("Location is " + region + "\nNumber of weekly readings taken is " + totalReadings + "\nTotal of readings is" + readingSum + "\nAverage is" + average + "\nLocation is Wet");
}
// ** Find Highest average ** //
Thanks. I need to allow a user to enter 3 values, then display the average between them... I am having some real issues with the average, Thanks! var quiz1 = prompt("What is the score of your first quiz?", "") document.write("Return Value: "+quiz1, '%',("<br />")); var quiz2 = prompt("What is the score of your second quiz?", "") document.write("Return Value: "+quiz2, '%',("<br />")); var quiz3 = prompt("What is the score of your third quiz?", "") document.write("Return Value: "+quiz3,'%',("<br />")); average= ("quiz1"+"quiz2"+"quiz3") /3 document.write(average,("<br />")); 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 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 Hi all- I currently use a javascript seacrh string on my website that searchs all folders (directories) and gives results on a html page. My problem is that some folders (or sub directories) are not being found when I type into the form search box. Does anyone know why this might be happening? here is the script im using <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">function OnSearchSubmit(){var b_return=true;if (document.form_search.sw){for(var i=0;i<document.form_search.sw.value.length;i++){if (document.form_search.sw.value.charAt(i)!=" ") {lh="searchresult.html?sw="+encodeURIComponent(document.form_search.sw.value);b_return=false;break;} }}if (b_return) return;window.open(lh,"_self");}</script> thanks! So I am making a function that takes numbers and when you enter a letter than it's supposed to skip to the if statement and give the average. The problem is that it doesn't seem to add the number to total on each loop. the first code is what I am working with. I was supposed to take a While loop and turn it into a do-while loop. The second peice of code is the original while loop. } Code: var finding_average = function() {
var total = 0, count = 0, number;
alert("Enter the numbers to average. Enter any non-number to stop.");
do {
number = parseInt( prompt("Enter a number") );
total = total + number;
count++;
} while ( !isNaN(number) );
var average = total / count;
if ( isNaN(average) ) {
alert("You didn't enter any numbers.");
} else {
alert("The average is: " + average);
}
Code: var finding_average = function() {
var total = 0, count = 0, number;
alert("Enter the numbers to average. Enter any non-number to stop.");
number = parseFloat( prompt("Enter a number") );
while ( !isNaN(number) ) {
total += number;
count++;
number = parseFloat( prompt("Enter another number") );
}
var average = total / count;
if ( isNaN(average) ) {
alert("You didn't enter any numbers.");
} else {
alert("The average is: " + average);
}
}
hi I need to find the average number in javascript. I have been working on it for a while but i am getting no where yes i am new to javascript and to be honest it is doing my blonde headed brain in. can someone please take a look at it and advise me on what i am doing wrong. it is the only bit of javascript that i have to do in the course but it carries a high mark of which i can not afford to lose Any way the question is : "Write code to calculate the average height and write it out in the browser window" Code: <HEAD>

sorry for my ignorance thanks in advance kelly XXXXX I am working on a page where the user will select a location from a dynamically generated dropdown list. I was able to create the php multidimensional array (tested and working) from a MySql database using the users information at login, but I'm having problems converting it to a javascript multidimensional array. I need to be able to access variables that I can pass to a number of text fields within an html form. For instance, if a user belongs to a company with multiple addresses, I need to be able to let them select the address they need to prepopulate specific text fields. php array creation: Code: if ($row_locations)
{
while ($row_locations = mysql_fetch_assoc($locations))
{
$mail[$row_locations['comp_id']]=array('mailto'=>$row_locations['mailto'], 'madd'=>$row_locations['madd'], 'madd2'=>$row_locations['madd2'], 'mcity'=>$row_locations['mcity'], 'mstate'=>$row_locations['mstate'], 'mzip'=>$row_locations['mzip'], 'billto'=>$row_locations['billto'], 'badd'=>$row_locations['badd'], 'badd2'=>$row_locations['badd2'], 'bcity'=>$row_locations['bcity'], 'bstate'=>$row_locations['bstate'], 'bzip'=>$row_locations['bzip']);
}
}
javascript function - this should create the array and send variables to text fields. Code: function updateAddress() {
var mail = $.parseJSON(<?php print json_encode(json_encode($mail)); ?>);
{
if (comp_id in mail) {
document.getElementById('mailto').value=mail.comp_id.mailto.value;
document.getElementById('madd').value=mail.comp_id.madd.value;
document.getElementById('madd2').value=mail.comp_id.madd2.value;
document.getElementById('mcity').value=mail.comp_id.mcity.value;
document.getElementById('mstate').value=mail.comp_id.mstate.value;
document.getElementById('mzip').value=mail.comp_id.mzip.value;
} else {
document.getElementById('mailto').value='';
document.getElementById('madd').value='';
document.getElementById('madd2').value='';
document.getElementById('mcity').value='';
document.getElementById('mstate').value='';
document.getElementById('mzip').value='';
}
}
}
Where is this breaking? Thanks in advance. Hello, I'm new here and a newbie to the world of java script. I am taking a CIT class and we just moved on to java script which i am having trouble with. My assignment is to calculate the average, number of passed, and number of failed grades according to this list (65, 80, 85, 55, 90, 70, 62, -1) where it terminates at -1 and the passing grade is >=70. Any help is appreciated! helow to every one im new here....i hope im welcome here can i ask how to make this problem? input 20 number and print the average of the numbers....any one can help me please... 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. Hi, First i don know if im posting at the right place or if you even take request here, feel free to direct me to the right place. What i am looking for is someone to make a simple counter for me. Basically i want that every time i press a certain key on my keyboard it will increase the counter amount and would then divide it by 60 every hour. Actually im looking for it to only show that average and refresh every hour. So it would start at 0 then update after the first hour and so on. (I also need a graphical interface) I have very few knowledge in coding and would very appreciate if someone could do that for me. Thank you !

Join Date Feb 2009 Posts 28,311 Thanks 82 Thanked 4,754 Times in 4,716 Posts I don't think this is something you would do with JavaScript. I think you need a ".exe" (on Windows) program. And that's a lot more complex. The problem is your request to capture a certain key, presumably no matter what window is at the front. Normally, within a given window, you can only capture a key that is intended for that window. I don't think this is a very easy thing to do. I've written a program which will prompt for a number of cities, Prompt for the name of the city, then prompt for the number of snowfall readings of that city, and then prompt for each of these individual snowfall readings of that city. From this, it adds up each of the individual snowfall readings of that city, and will calculate an average by dividing this figure [the total snowfall] by the total number of readings for that city. This average is used to then classify the city as "not snowy", "mild", or "blizzard". I'm happy to PM my code to anyone willing to help out, as I realise this is a complex structure to visualise perhaps, but I can't post it publicly. I now have to select the city with the highest average, and name it in an alert output. How is this possible. Note, I'm not allowed to use functions or arrays. Prompts, alerts, if-then-else, for and while loops are all I can use. I've been messing with this code for about a couple of hours, and I did everything down to the wire..yet still I am unable to get it to work. When I input the numbers, and click off to the side nothing appears down at the final textarea of the form which is suppose to show the average. I've tried just about everything, sadly all I have to go by is other example codes, and the very intricate instructions which states I must pass the values to the calcAvg() to the second function of performCalc(), which I did, and then I assigned the var calcResult another value. From there I did the return..and after that I'm rather loss as to what to do next to get this code to work, any tips? Code:

Hi, Here is a working code to copy 2d php array to 2d javascript array. Code: <html>
<head>
<?php
for($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++)
{
for($j = 0; $j < 2; $j++)
{$quest[$i][$j] = $i*10+$j;}
}
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var questions = new Array(3);
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
questions[i] = new Array(2);
}
questions[0] = ["<?php echo join("\", \"", $quest[0]); ?>"];
questions[1] = ["<?php echo join("\", \"", $quest[1]); ?>"];
questions[2] = ["<?php echo join("\", \"", $quest[2]); ?>"];
document.write(questions[0][0] + "<br />");
document.write(questions[0][1] + "<br />");
document.write(questions[1][0] + "<br />");
document.write(questions[1][1] + "<br />");
document.write(questions[2][0] + "<br />");
document.write(questions[2][1] + "<br />");
</script>
</head>
</html>
Now,here's the thing.Notice these lines in the code questions[0] = ["<?php echo join("\", \"", $quest[0]); ?>"]; questions[1] = ["<?php echo join("\", \"", $quest[1]); ?>"]; questions[2] = ["<?php echo join("\", \"", $quest[2]); ?>"]; I would like to put these lines in a loop,something like for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) { questions[i] = ["<?php echo join("\", \"", $quest[i]); ?>"]; } But even after a lot of efforts I am unable to do so,what am I doing wrong?Thanks Hi, i can't find the mistake in my little script hope someone can help me.

I want the array of points to be shown to come from PHP. However, there are (probably a lot) of errors in it that makes it doesn't work. My main page code: xmlhttpT=new XMLHttpRequest(); //var MyRouteC = ""; xmlhttpT.open("GET","getRoute.php",true); //var MyRouteC= (array)xmlhttpT.responseText; var MyRouteC = (array)xmlhttpT.responseText); xmlhttpT.onreadystatechange=function() { if (xmlhttpT.readyState==4) { //MyRouteC = xmlhttpT.responseText; alert(xmlhttpT.responseText); } } xmlhttp.send(); var MyRoute = new google.maps.Polyline({ path: MyRouteC, strokeColor: "#FF0000", strokeOpacity: 1.0, strokeWeight: 2 }); MyRoute.setMap(map); The page it is calling is a php page: PHP Code: <?php $con = mysql_connect("xxxxx.mysql","xxxxxxxxxxx","xxxxxxxxx"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("letsmeet_mobi", $con); $query = "SELECT * FROM CurrentLocation ORDER BY time DESC LIMIT 0 , 5"; mysql_query($query); $result = mysql_query($query); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $output = $output .

Any help is welcome! Hi guys, I am new to JavaScript and was wonder how I would go about creating a form to allow the user to enter various words, one at a time. These words are added to an array and displayed in the page using the textarea form element. Each time a new word is entered, it is added to the array, and then the array is sorted in alphabetical order before the words in the array are displayed in the textarea, one per line. I have tried lots and lots of different methods to accomplish this, and I can get it half working when I use the alert function, but I need this to display on the page in a textarea rather than in an alert box, I tried to get it to write to the page using a document.write function, but like I said i am new to JavaScript and unfortunately cant get any of it working.
