i am new in javascript.
I have below code where textarea contains text as...
<textarea id="myBox" >
{Picker:} Helper
This is just demo...
</textarea>
<br/>
<span id="ans"></span> <br/>
<input type="button" onclick="getWord()" value="Click"/>
i am trying to find out the word exact after the {Picker:}, i.e. i want to find word "Helper". So word {Picker:} is the point from where i am starting to find immediate word after it. For this i using indexOf. What i did uptil now is ...
<script>
function getWord() {
var val = $("#myBox").val();
var myString = val.substr((val.indexOf("{Picker:}")) + parseInt(10), parseInt(val.indexOf(' ')) );
$("#ans").text(myString);
}
</script>
will anyone guide me to find what mistake i am making. Thanks in advance.
You should start from the index of "{Picker:}" + 9, because the length of the particular string is 9.
Parse till the the index of '\n' which is the line break character.
String.prototype.substr() is deprecated, use String.prototype.substring() instead.
function getWord() {
var val = $("#myBox").val();
var myString = val.substring((val.indexOf("{Picker:}")) + 9, val.indexOf('\n'));
$("#ans").text(myString);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<textarea id="myBox">
{Picker:} Helper
This is just demo...
</textarea>
<br />
<span id="ans"></span> <br />
<input type="button" onclick="getWord()" value="Click" />
var val = $("#myBox").val();
console.log(val)
var tempArray = val.replace("\n", " ").split(" ");
var wordToFind;
for(var i = 0 ; i < tempArray.length; i++) {
var word = tempArray[i];
if (word == "{Picker:}") {
wordToFind = tempArray[i + 1]
}
}
console.log(wordToFind)
This will assign what ever word comes after Picker: to the wordToFind variable.

You could do something like this
const text = "{Picker:} Helper";
const wordArr = text.split(' ');
const idx = wordArr.indexOf('{Picker:}');
console.log(idx != -1 && (idx + 1) < wordArr.length ? wordArr[idx + 1] : 'not found');
So I have a function that I need to pass 3 values, but my values are allways 0 if I don't enter them, and undefined if enter them. How to fix this issue?

You need to get value from elements and set it to #output element each time calculate function is called. Check out my solution below.
var aElement = document.querySelector('#a');
var bElement = document.querySelector('#b');
var cElement = document.querySelector('#c');
var outputElement = document.querySelector('#output');
function updateArea () {
var a = Number(aElement.value);
var b = Number(bElement.value);
var c = Number(cElement.value);
var res = calculate(a, b, c);
outputElement.innerHTML = `<h4>Area = ${res}</h4>`;
}
function calculate (a, b, c) {
return 2*(a*b + a*c + b*c);
}
<h4>Enter Dimensions</h4>
<input id="a" type="text" name=""><br>
<input id="b" type="text" name=""><br>
<input id="c" type="text" name=""><br>
<input type="button" onclick="updateArea()" value="Calculate">
<div id="output"></div>
You are collecting the value of a, b and c at the beginning of the program. At first, the input boxes don't have any value, so the value of a, b and c is undefined. So collect the value when the submit button is clicked.
Try this approach:
function calculate(){
var a = Number(document.querySelector('#a').value);
var b = Number(document.querySelector('#b').value);
var c = Number(document.querySelector('#c').value);
var p = 2*(a*b + a*c + b*c);
document.querySelector('#output').innerHTML = '<h4>Area = ${p}</h4>';
}
I am adding two numbers, but I don't get a correct value.
For example, doing 1 + 2 returns 12 and not 3
What am I doing wrong in this code?
function myFunction() {
var y = document.getElementById("txt1").value;
var z = document.getElementById("txt2").value;
var x = y + z;
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x;
}
<p>
Click the button to calculate x.
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
</p>
<p>
Enter first number:
<input type="text" id="txt1" name="text1" value="1">
Enter second number:
<input type="text" id="txt2" name="text2" value="2">
</p>
<p id="demo"></p>
They are actually strings, not numbers. The easiest way to produce a number from a string is to prepend it with +:
var x = +y + +z;
I just use Number():
var i=2;
var j=3;
var k = Number(i) + Number(j); // 5
You need to use javaScript's parseInt() method to turn the strings back into numbers. Right now they are strings so adding two strings concatenates them, which is why you're getting "12".
Use parseInt(...) but make sure you specify a radix value; otherwise you will run into several bugs (if the string begins with "0", the radix is octal/8 etc.).
var x = parseInt(stringValueX, 10);
var y = parseInt(stringValueY, 10);
alert(x + y);
Hope this helps!
The following may be useful in general terms.
First, HTML form fields are limited to text. That applies especially to text boxes, even if you have taken pains to ensure that the value looks like a number.
Second, JavaScript, for better or worse, has overloaded the + operator with two meanings: it adds numbers, and it concatenates strings. It has a preference for concatenation, so even an expression like 3+'4' will be treated as concatenation.
Third, JavaScript will attempt to change types dynamically if it can, and if it needs to. For example '2'*'3' will change both types to numbers, since you can’t multiply strings. If one of them is incompatible, you will get NaN, Not a Number.
Your problem occurs because the data coming from the form is regarded as a string, and the + will therefore concatenate rather than add.
When reading supposedly numeric data from a form, you should always push it through parseInt() or parseFloat(), depending on whether you want an integer or a decimal.
Note that neither function truly converts a string to a number. Instead, it will parse the string from left to right until it gets to an invalid numeric character or to the end and convert what has been accepted. In the case of parseFloat, that includes one decimal point, but not two.
Anything after the valid number is simply ignored. They both fail if the string doesn’t even start off as a number. Then you will get NaN.
A good general purpose technique for numbers from forms is something like this:
var data=parseInt(form.elements['data'].value); // or parseFloat
If you’re prepared to coalesce an invalid string to 0, you can use:
var data=parseInt(form.elements['data'].value) || 0;
Just add a simple type casting method as the input is taken in text. Use the following:
var y = parseInt(document.getElementById("txt1").value);
var z = parseInt(document.getElementById("txt2").value);
var x = y + z;
This won't sum up the number; instead it will concatenate it:
var x = y + z;
You need to do:
var x = (y)+(z);
You must use parseInt in order to specify the operation on numbers. Example:
var x = parseInt(y) + parseInt(z); [final soulution, as everything us]
Simple
var result = parseInt("1") + parseInt("2");
console.log(result ); // Outputs 3
This code sums both the variables! Put it into your function
var y = parseInt(document.getElementById("txt1").value);
var z = parseInt(document.getElementById("txt2").value);
var x = (y +z);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x;`
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function addition()
{
var a = parseInt(form.input1.value);
var b = parseInt(form.input2.value);
var c = a+b
document.write(c);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form" method="GET">
<input type="text" name="input1" value=20><br>
<input type="text" name="input2" value=10><br>
<input type="button" value="ADD" onclick="addition()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Or you could simply initialize
var x = 0; ( you should use let x = 0;)
This way it will add not concatenate.
If Nothing works then only try this. This maybe isn't Right way of doing it but it worked for me when all the above failed.
var1 - (- var2)
You are missing the type conversion during the addition step...
var x = y + z; should be var x = parseInt(y) + parseInt(z);

If we have two input fields then get the values from input fields, and then add them using JavaScript.
$('input[name="yourname"]').keyup(function(event) {
/* Act on the event */
var value1 = $(this).val();
var value2 = $('input[name="secondName"]').val();
var roundofa = +value2+ +value1;
$('input[name="total"]').val(addition);
});
This can also be achieved with a more native HTML solution by using the output element.
<form oninput="result.value=parseInt(a.valueAsNumber)+parseInt(b.valueAsNumber)">
<input type="number" id="a" name="a" value="10" /> +
<input type="number" id="b" name="b" value="50" /> =
<output name="result" for="a b">60</output>
</form>
https://jsfiddle.net/gxu1rtqL/
The output element can serve as a container element for a calculation or output of a user's action. You can also change the HTML type from number to range and keep the same code and functionality with a different UI element, as shown below.
<form oninput="result.value=parseInt(a.valueAsNumber)+parseInt(b.valueAsNumber)">
<input type="range" id="a" name="a" value="10" /> +
<input type="number" id="b" name="b" value="50" /> =
<output name="result" for="a b">60</output>
</form>
https://jsfiddle.net/gxu1rtqL/2/
You can do a precheck with regular expression wheather they are numbers as like
function myFunction() {
var y = document.getElementById("txt1").value;
var z = document.getElementById("txt2").value;
if((x.search(/[^0-9]/g) != -1)&&(y.search(/[^0-9]/g) != -1))
var x = Number(y)+ Number(z);
else
alert("invalid values....");
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x;
}
Use parseFloat it will convert string to number including decimal values.
function myFunction() {
var y = document.getElementById("txt1").value;
var z = document.getElementById("txt2").value;
var x = parseFloat(y) + parseFloat(z);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x;
}
<p>
Click the button to calculate x.
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
</p>
<p>
Enter first number:
<input type="text" id="txt1" name="text1" value="1">
Enter second number:
<input type="text" id="txt2" name="text2" value="2">
</p>
<p id="demo"></p>
You can also write :
var z = x - -y ;
And you get correct answer.
<body>
<input type="text" id="number1" name="">
<input type="text" id="number2" name="">
<button type="button" onclick="myFunction()">Submit</button>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var x, y ;
x = document.getElementById('number1').value;
y = document.getElementById('number2').value;
var z = x - -y ;
document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = z;
}
</script>
</body>
Here goes your code by parsing the variables in the function.
<html>
<body>
<p>Click the button to calculate x.</p>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
<br/>
<br/>Enter first number:
<input type="text" id="txt1" name="text1">
<br>Enter second number:
<input type="text" id="txt2" name="text2">
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var y = parseInt(document.getElementById("txt1").value);
var z = parseInt(document.getElementById("txt2").value);
var x = y + z;
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Answer
An alternative solution, just sharing :) :
var result=eval(num1)+eval(num2);
Perhaps you could use this function to add numbers:
function calculate(a, b) {
return a + b
}
console.log(calculate(5, 6))

Javascript Regexp dynamic generation from variables? [duplicate]
(4 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
How I could set the variable pat to act as variable patt1? I want write in the textbox just "abe" and change from var patt1 = /\b[abc]+\b/g; to var patt1 = /\b[abe]+\b/g;. Is that possible?
<html>
<body onload="onload();">
<input type="text" id="lol"/>
<input type="button" VALUE="Resitve" onclick="myFunction();"/>
<p id="alert"></p>
<script>
var pat;
function myFunction() {
pat = document.getElementById("lol").value;
var str = "abc ab abe abeee";
var patt1 = /\b[abc]+\b/g;
var result = str.match(pat);
document.getElementById("alert").innerHTML = result;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
You can use the RegExp object:
<html>
<body onload="onload();">
<input type="text" id="lol"/>
<input type="button" VALUE="Resitve" onclick="myFunction();"/>
<p id="alert"></p>
<script>
var pat;
function myFunction() {
pat = document.getElementById("lol").value;
var str = "abc ab abe abeee";
var patt1 = new RegExp("\\b[" + pat + "]+\\b","g");
var result = patt1.exec(str);
document.getElementById("alert").innerHTML = result;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Or you can simply make the pattern in your code as string:
<html>
<body onload="onload();">
<input type="text" id="lol"/>
<input type="button" VALUE="Resitve" onclick="myFunction();"/>
<p id="alert"></p>
<script>
var pat;
function myFunction() {
pat = document.getElementById("lol").value;
var str = "abc ab abe abeee";
var patt1 = "\\b[" + pat + "]+\\b";
var result = str.match(patt1);
document.getElementById("alert").innerHTML = result;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
If you want to truly find all matches, you will need to call the exec function in a loop:
<html>
<body onload="onload();">
<input type="text" id="lol"/>
<input type="button" VALUE="Resitve" onclick="myFunction();"/>
<p id="alert"></p>
<script>
var pat;
function myFunction() {
pat = document.getElementById("lol").value;
var str = "abc ab abe abeee";
var patt1 = new RegExp("\\b[" + pat + "]+\\b","g");
var result;
var display = document.getElementById("alert");
display.innerHTML = "";
while(result = patt1.exec(str)){
display.innerHTML += result + "<br/>";
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
From the String.prototype.match() docs
str.match(regexp)
regexp
If a non-RegExp object obj is passed, it is implicitly converted to a
RegExp by using new RegExp(obj).
So, passing your regex as a concatenated string should work fine. i.e., instead of this:
var patt1 = /\b[abc]+\b/g;
Use this:
var patt1 = "/\b[abc]+\b/g";
And amend that string as you see fit!
Would like to be able to add with a "/" or a "," sign as well as the traditional "+" sign. Obviously the "/" sign is used for division, but I would like to change its purpose.
JavaScript
function CalculateIMSUB(form) {
var Atext = form.input_A.value;
var Btext = form.input_B.value;
var val = form.val.value;
var A = eval(Atext);
var B = eval(Btext);
if (isNaN(A)) A = 0;
if (isNaN(B)) B = 0;
var answer = A - B;
form.Answer.value = answer;
form.input_A.value = form.input_A.value.replace(/\+/g, ",");
form.input_B.value = form.input_B.value.replace(/\+/g, ",");
}
function calculateAll() {
var forms = document.getElementsByTagName("form");
for (var i = 0; i < forms.length; i++) {
CalculateIMSUB(forms[i]);
}
}
HTML
<form>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="input_A" SIZE=15 />
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="input_B" SIZE=10 />
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="+" name="SubtractButton" onclick="CalculateIMSUB(this.form)"
/>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="Answer" SIZE=12 />
<input type="hidden" name="val" value="1221" />
</form>
Here's my example
Try implementing something like this. No eval, just arrays.
function add( value ) {
return value.split(/[+,\/]/).reduce(function( a,b ) {
return +a + +b;
});
}
console.log( add('1+1+1') ); //=> 3
console.log( add('2,2,2') ); //=> 6
console.log( add('3/3/3') ); //=> 9
