complicated array question.

[wolff69]

i want to see if this code will do what i want:<br><br>if(var eff = new action(20) //i am declaring a new array<br>eff[0]=anyvalue;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;//i list all the elements of <br>&quot; &quot; &quot; &quot; &quot; &quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;//of the array<br>{<br>var bgpe = 4500;<br>var bpe = 0;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>here is the problematic part i want to test every slot in the array eff.<br><br>while ((eff * bpge)&lt;130000){<br>bpge += bpe; ++eff <br>}<br>break;<br>bepea=new bpe(20)<br>&nbsp;<br>then store every computed value from eff * bpge in the variable bpe as an array so that i can use it in other functions or methods.<br><br>1)will this code do that? <br><br>2)if not what would be the proper syntax? <br><br>3)or can i even make an array from a computed variable using java script?

hmm. not sure what you want.<br><br>could you please be a little bit more descriptive about what the script is SUPPOSED to do?<br><br> <p>theEclipse<br><a href=mailto:eclipse_web@hotmail.com>eclipse_web@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=robacarp.webjump.com>robacarp.webjump.com</a><br>**-Trying to build a documentation of a Javascript DOM, crossbrowser, of course.

No, it wouldn't work because you're not changing bpge, only multiplying it by eff.&nbsp;&nbsp;bpge*eff will change, but not bpge.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm not sure it will do anything, but I think it would be better to use a <FONT FACE=monospace>for</font> function rather than <FONT FACE=monospace>while</font>.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think that for is a little faster, but it may not matter. <p>REH<br><a href=mailto:hawkdogg@crosswinds.net>hawkdogg@crosswinds.net</a><br><a href=

well then i guess storing the change in (eff*bpge) as <br><br>(eff*bpge)=bpe&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>will work because it wil store the change of (eff*bpge) as bpe and then i can initialize bpe as a new array.

 

[ndogg]

You need to initialize bpe as an array first:<br><FONT FACE=monospace>bpe = new Array()</font><br><br>Notice that <FONT FACE=monospace>Array()</font> is a function already given to you, at least in JavaScript 1.1 and above.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is a script already out there for an array for older browsers though.<br><br>If I were you then, I would do the following:<br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>for (i = 0; eff &lt; 13000; i++)<br>{<br>(eff<i>*bpge)=bpe<i><br>} <p>REH<br><a href=mailto:hawkdogg@crosswinds.net>hawkdogg@crosswinds.net</a><br><a href=
