faild to move the element in between?

i have been try to solve the sudoku with Blacktracking algo, everything is good, canvar is called and i able to see the number but the things is number are not moving i.e the logic is not exectuing
current.i === 0; is where i'm get the error! even i have declared a sperate variable for the num also the problem is not sloved. only if i remove the .num current == 0 than its not showing any error but still the number is not moving
enter image description here
var cell = [];
var stack = [];
var sudoku = [2,3,0,9,4,0,6,7,0,
8,0,0,3,2,5,9,1,4,
9,0,0,7,6,0,3,2,0,
1,0,0,0,0,0,7,9,2,
5,0,3,2,1,0,4,8,6,
4,0,0,6,8,0,5,3,1,
7,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,9,
6,5,9,8,7,2,1,4,3,
3,0,0,0,9,0,0,0,7];
var current;
var number = 1;
function setup(){
createCanvas(450,450);
var a=0;
var b=0;
for(var i=0;i<81;i++){
if(a%9==0 && i!=0){
b = b+50;
a = 0;
}
each[i] = new each(a,b,i,sudoku[i]);
a = a+50;
}
current = cell[0];
}
function draw(){
background(10);
for(var i=0;i<81;i++){
each[i].show();
}
if(current.num === 0){ //the error is typeerror can't read the property of num
if(! sameColumn(current.i,number) && ! sameRow(current.i,number) && ! sameSquare(current.i,number) && number<(10)){
current.num = number;
stack.push(current);
number = 0;
current.each[current.i+1];
}
else {
if(number > 8){
current.num = 0;
current = stack.pop();
number = current.num;
current.num = 0;
}
}
}
else{
current = each[current+1];
number = 0;
}
number++;
}
function each(a,b,i,num){
this.a = a;
this.b = b;
this.i = i;
this.num = num;
this.show = function(){
noFill();
stroke(255);
rect(this.a,this.b,50,50);
textSize(32);
text(this.num,a+12,b+40);
}
}

The error is pretty much straight forward. current = cell[0]; becomes undefined since you defined cell as an empty array and didn't manipulated it after that.
From what I have observed so far, many parts of your code logically does not work, for example,
same Column(current.i,number) && ! sameRow(current.i,number) && ! sameSquare(current.i,number)
will definitely throw you an error is it is executed (it is not since the execution does not reach to that line), unless you have a separate js file that contains these functions.
Another one is
current = cell[current+1];
if the current variable is to store the cell object, it does not make sense to add 1 to it, and vice versa.
Now I believe this is how setup function was meant to look like:
function setup(){
createCanvas(450,450);
var a=0;
var b=0;
for(var i=0;i<81;i++){
if(a%9==0 && i!=0){
b = b+50;
a = 0;
}
cell[i] = new Cell(a,b,i,sudoku[i]); //changed each[i] to cell[i], also renamed the 'each' class
a = a+50;
}
current = cell[0];
}
If possible, please edit in a little more information about what exactly does your code do. Cheers :)

variable copies wrong content js

This is all the js code, when i console log the raw variable it returns the shuffled deck, I do not understand that, i am new to js and i've tried this. but i don't really know how it works, also, what's the difference between var and let if you guys dont mind me asking? thank you.
function drawDeck(){
var deck = []
var value = [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10,11]
for(var i=0;i<4;i++){
for (var j=0;j<13;j++){
deck.push(value[j])
}
}
return deck
}
function shuffleDeck(deck){
var currentPos = deck.length, tempPos , randPos
while (currentPos != 0){
randPos = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentPos)
currentPos -= 1
tempPos = deck[currentPos]
deck[currentPos] = deck[randPos]
deck[randPos] = tempPos
}
return deck
}
function drawCard(deck){
var card = deck.shift()
return card
}
var raw = drawDeck()
var deck = shuffleDeck(raw)
var card = drawCard(deck)
console.log(raw)

The shuffle function operates on the input element itself. Since you input raw to the shuffle function it self will be modified and thus you get the shuffled deck when logging it. It doesn't matter if it gets returned or not.
If you wanna preserve the original array, clone the array to a new variable inside the shuffle function and do the shuffling on the clone and return that.
var raw = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16];
var shuffled;
function shuffleDeck(deck) {
var currentPos = deck.length,
tempPos, randPos
var tempDeck = Array.from(deck);
while (currentPos != 0) {
randPos = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentPos)
currentPos -= 1
tempPos = tempDeck[currentPos]
tempDeck[currentPos] = tempDeck[randPos]
tempDeck[randPos] = tempPos
}
return tempDeck
}
shuffled = shuffleDeck(raw);
alert('original: ' + raw);
alert('shuffled: ' + shuffled);

How to get a new random number in javascript

I am very new to JavaScript and I'm sure this question has been answered quite a bit, but when I search my question I don't seem to find an answer (or one that I actually understand :D)
Currently, I'm trying to create a tool to help kids with there multiplication facts and I'm having trouble getting the program to generate new random numbers.
var r1 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 13);
var r2 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 13);
function start() {
println("Welcome to the multipilcation helper! ");
var num = readLine("Pick a number you want to practice or type 'random'!");
var ques = readLine("How many questions do you want?");
if (num == "random") {
for (var i = 0; i < ques; i++) {
var answer = r1 * r2;
println(r1 + "*" + r2);
var check = readLine("what is the answer");
if (check == answer) {
println("thats correct!");
} else {
println("thats wrong! ");
}
}
}
}
The problem is that my variables seem to pick a random number as soon as the script starts and stick with it instead of giving me a new random number.
Can anyone help me out and tell me how to get a new random number every time the variable is called?

Simply create yourself a method like the one below and use it like r() to get a new random number every call.
function r() {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * 13);
}
console.log(r());
console.log(r());
console.log(r());

In your loop you should be reassigning the random numbers so that they are reassigned every iteration of the loop. Otherwise they stay static to the value you give them at the top.
Also, you should use triple equals in Javascript when checking for equality as it is best practice.

function start() {
console.log("Welcome to the multipilcation helper! ");
var num = prompt("Pick a number you want to practice or type 'random'!");
var ques = prompt("How many questions do you want?");
if (num == "random") {
for (var i = 0; i < ques; i++) {
var r1 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 13);
var r2 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 13);
var answer = r1 * r2;
console.log(r1 + "*" + r2);
var check = prompt("what is the answer");
if (check == answer) {
console.log("thats correct!");
} else {
console.log("thats wrong! ");
}
}
}
}
start()
You random numbers are being static at the moment. They need to be called again. Move your r1 and r2 assignments inside the for.
I don't have enough reputation to comment, but will update the answer
if you explain it with more details.

You need to put the random call in a function in order for it to create a new number each time. When you assign it directly to a variable as you have, it only runs once and stores that value in the variable.
// pick a number between 0 and 13
var random = function() {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * 13);
}
function start(){
for(var i = 0; i < 15; i++){
// call random function for each number and store in a var
var number1 = random();
var number2 = random();
var answer = number1 * number2;
console.log('equation:', number1 + '*' + number2);
console.log('answer:', answer);
}
}
// call the start function
start()

Trying to add a conditional to a function, and receiving an error on execution

So, first and foremost, it's important to note that I'm adding a feature to something I didn't design. I'm really new to JavaScript, and I'm trying to edit an existing Discord bot. I discovered that the simplest way to achieve my goal would be to edit the root function at which it generates Random numbers. The relavant snippet of the original code (taken from the dice-expression-evaluator module https://github.com/dbkang/dice-expression-evaluator) is as follows:
Dice.prototype.roll = function () {
var rolls = [];
var sum = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < this.diceCount; i++) {
var roll = random.integer(1, this.sideCount) * this.coefficient;
rolls.push(roll);
sum += roll;
}
return {roll: sum, dice: rolls};
};
This original code works just fine, but doesn't include my desired feature (a simple-but-verbose sort of whitelist.) the 4 variables not defined in that particular code block are rather self-explanatory. My version of the code (slightly edited for privacy reasons) is as follows:
Dice.prototype.roll = function () {
var rolls = [];
var sum = 0;
var range = this.whitelist(); //already tried it with () after whitelist
console.log(range.join(','));
for (var i = 0; i < this.diceCount; i++) {
var roll = random.integer(range[0], range[1]) * this.coefficient; //changed the 2 function arguments, but both are still integers
rolls.push(roll);
sum += roll;
}
return {roll: sum, dice: rolls};
};
Dice.prototype.whitelist = function () {
let user0 = "a";
let user1 = "b";
let user2 = "c";
let user3 = "d";
let user = message.author.id;
let die = this.sideCount;
console.log(user);
console.log(string(die));
if (user==user0) {
var min = Math.ceil(0.76 * die);
var max = die;
} else if (user==user1) {
var min = Math.ceil(0.76 * die);
var max = die;
} else if (user==user2) {
var min = 1;
var max = die;
} else if (user==user3) {
var min = 1;
var max = die;
} else {
var min = 1;
var max = die;
}
return [min, max];
};
The message.author.id variable is available to the function that started the whole function chain 3 scopes up, but in MY version of the code, (even after correcting a few missing semicolons and similarly minute errors) a dice expression that is perfectly functional in the original code generates an "invalid dice expression" error. Other than the introduction of a new variable and the variables in the random.integer call, I see no functional difference between the old and new versions of Dice.prototype.roll. By my understanding, my whitelist function returns an array of integers, and those integers are being injected directly into the random.integer function call in a perfectly reasonable way... I am incredibly confused.

How to pick a random property from an object without repeating after multiple calls?

I'm trying to pick a random film from an object containing film objects. I need to be able to call the function repeatedly getting distinct results until every film has been used.
I have this function, but it doesn't work because the outer function returns with nothing even if the inner function calls itself because the result is not unique.
var watchedFilms = [];
$scope.watchedFilms = watchedFilms;
var getRandomFilm = function(movies) {
var moviesLength = Object.keys(movies).length;
function doPick() {
var pick = pickRandomProperty(movies);
var distinct = true;
for (var i = 0;i < watchedFilms.length; i += 1) {
if (watchedFilms[i]===pick.title) {
distinct = false;
if (watchedFilms.length === moviesLength) {
watchedFilms = [];
}
}
}
if (distinct === true) {
watchedFilms.push(pick.title);
return pick;
}
if (distinct === false) {
console.log(pick.title+' has already been picked');
doPick();
}
};
return doPick();
}

T.J. Crowder already gave a great answer, however I wanted to show an alternative way of solving the problem using OO.
You could create an object that wraps over an array and makes sure that a random unused item is returned everytime. The version I created is cyclic, which means that it infinitely loops over the collection, but if you want to stop the cycle, you can just track how many movies were chosen and stop once you reached the total number of movies.
function CyclicRandomIterator(list) {
this.list = list;
this.usedIndexes = {};
this.displayedCount = 0;
}
CyclicRandomIterator.prototype.next = function () {
var len = this.list.length,
usedIndexes = this.usedIndexes,
lastBatchIndex = this.lastBatchIndex,
denyLastBatchIndex = this.displayedCount !== len - 1,
index;
if (this.displayedCount === len) {
lastBatchIndex = this.lastBatchIndex = this.lastIndex;
usedIndexes = this.usedIndexes = {};
this.displayedCount = 0;
}
do index = Math.floor(Math.random() * len);
while (usedIndexes[index] || (lastBatchIndex === index && denyLastBatchIndex));
this.displayedCount++;
usedIndexes[this.lastIndex = index] = true;
return this.list[index];
};
Then you can simply do something like:
var randomMovies = new CyclicRandomIterator(Object.keys(movies));
var randomMovie = movies[randomMovies.next()];
Note that the advantage of my implementation if you are cycling through items is that the same item will never be returned twice in a row, even at the beginning of a new cycle.

Update: You've said you can modify the film objects, so that simplifies things:
var getRandomFilm = function(movies) {
var keys = Object.keys(movies);
var keyCount = keys.length;
var candidate;
var counter = keyCount * 2;
// Try a random pick
while (--counter) {
candidate = movies[keys[Math.floor(Math.random() * keyCount)]];
if (!candidate.watched) {
candidate.watched = true;
return candidate;
}
}
// We've done two full count loops and not found one, find the
// *first* one we haven't watched, or of course return null if
// they've all been watched
for (counter = 0; counter < keyCount; ++counter) {
candidate = movies[keys[counter]];
if (!candidate.watched) {
candidate.watched = true;
return candidate;
}
}
return null;
}
This has the advantage that it doesn't matter if you call it with the same movies object or not.
Note the safety valve. Basically, as the number of watched films approaches the total number of films, our odds of picking a candidate at random get smaller. So if we've failed to do that after looping for twice as many iterations as there are films, we give up and just pick the first, if any.
Original (which doesn't modify film objects)
If you can't modify the film objects, you do still need the watchedFilms array, but it's fairly simple:
var watchedFilms = [];
$scope.watchedFilms = watchedFilms;
var getRandomFilm = function(movies) {
var keys = Object.keys(movies);
var keyCount = keys.length;
var candidate;
if (watchedFilms.length >= keyCount) {
return null;
}
while (true) {
candidate = movies[keys[Math.floor(Math.random() * keyCount)]];
if (watchedFilms.indexOf(candidate) === -1) {
watchedFilms.push(candidate);
return candidate;
}
}
}
Note that like your code, this assumes getRandomFilm is called with the same movies object each time.
