Simple button that should be creating new <p> elements when its clicked but it isn't working and I'm not sure why as I've compared it to other code of mine.
Demo
var battle = function() {
while(monsterHP > 0){
var playerDam = Math.floor(Math.random() * ((playerAtk - monsterAtk) + 2);
$('#battle').append("<p>You have hit the monster for " + playerDam + " damage. The monster has " + (monsterHP - playerDam) + "HP left</p>");
monsterHP -= playerDam;
if(monsterHP <= 0) {
$('#battle').append("<p>You have defeated the monster</p>");
}
}
}
$('#battleButton').click(function() {
battle();
}
You have many syntax errors in your code. If you correct them (as below), then it works fine. When you write a JQuery append, you need to put a ')' after your argument. Likewise, functions need to have a '}' after them.
var playerAtk = 5;
var playerDef = 5;
var playerHP = 10;
var monsterAtk = 4;
var monsterDef = 4;
var monsterHP = 8;
var battle = function() {
while(monsterHP > 0){
var playerDam = Math.floor(Math.random() * ((playerAtk - monsterAtk) + 2));
$('#battle').append("<p>You have hit the monster for " + playerDam + " damage. The monster has " + (monsterHP - playerDam) + "HP left</p>");
monsterHP -= playerDam;
if(monsterHP <= 0) {
$('#battle').append("<p>You have defeated the monster</p>");
}
}
}
$('#battleButton').click(function() {
battle();
});

I'm having some problem with this function. I ask sorry if the code looks a bit confused.
Basically what i'm trying to do is to divide some elements between the top and bottom of the documents having between them the same space circa.
i wrote this code but seems like the first "for" cycle goes loop ever and ever again.
** update**
so i improved the code and now the problem seems to be the variable "ifc"(if-counter). It suppose to increase by one every time that one of the if or else if is completed , but as you can see on the console it always remain 0 .
anyone can help?
thanks
var sizewidth = window.innerWidth;
var sizeheight = 3000;
function initialPosition(){
var els = document.querySelectorAll('.ico');
var tb = Math.round(els.length * 0.4);
console.log(tb);
var lr = els.length - tb;
var distPixEachTopBottom = sizewidth / (tb/2);
console.log(distPixEachTopBottom);
var distPixEachLefRight = sizeheight / (lr/2);
var nextTop = 0;
var nextLeft = 0;
var nextBottom = 0;
var nextRight = 0 ;
for (i = 0; i < els.length; i++) {
var ifc = 0;
console.log('i' + i);
if(i < tb){
var sf = 0;
for(;;){
console.log('sf' + sf + 'tb ' + tb);
if(ifc > 1){
console.log('ifc'+ ifc);
ifc = 0;
break
}else if(ifc == 0){
els[i].style.top = 0 +'px';
els[i].style.left = nextTop + 'px';
console.log('ifc ' + ifc + 'i ' + i + 'nexttop' + nextTop)
nextTop = nextTop + distPixEachTopBottom;
ifc++;
break;
}else if(ifc == 1){
els[i].style.bottom = 0 +'px';
els[i].style.right = nextBottom + 'px';
console.log('ifc ' + ifc + 'i ' + i + 'nextbottom' + nextBottom)
nextBottom = nextBottom + distPixEachTopBottom;
ifc++;
break;
}else{
console.log('else if problem')
break;
}
}
}else{
}
}
initialPosition();
update
i created a pen as you asked
codepen
So basically of all the boxes the 40% of them (6 in this case) should be divided between top and bottom but they go just on top.
So I solved by myself .
I put the var ifc before then any function .
Anyway thanks everyone
I am trying to make so when the looping of 100 hits on the character exits the loop when the life dice rolls to 0. How it currently is is all gets looped 100 times. I am not quite sure how I need to go about solving this, any tips would be helpful. My code is below.
function addChar(fname, lname, speed, agility, wep, outfit, mood) {
this.fname = fname;
this.lname = lname;
this.speed = speed;
this.agility = agility;
this.wep = wep;
this.outfit = outfit;
this.mood = mood;
this.special = function(specialMove) {
specialMove();
}
this.jumpKick = function() {
var jmpkckTimes = Math.floor(Math.random() * (100 - 33 + 1)) + 33;
document.write("He jumpkicks " + jmpkckTimes + " times. ");
if (jmpkckTimes > 70) {
document.write("He enters rage mode! ");
} else {
document.write("He does not have enough kicks for rage mode. ");
}
}
this.hits = function() {
var allHits = Math.floor(Math.random() * (100 - 33 + 1)) + 33;
document.write(" He gets attacked for " + allHits + " HP.");
}
this.lifes = function() {
var life = Math.floor(Math.random() * (3 - 0 + 1)) + 0;
if (life > 0) {
document.write(" The life dice rolls a " + life + ". You have survived! For now...");
} else {
document.write(" The life dice rolls a " + life + ". You have died!");
}
}
}
var myChar = new addChar('Johhny', 'Kicker', 10, 7, 'Ancient Greataxe', 'Barrows', 'angry');
document.write(myChar.fname + " " + myChar.lname + "'s speed is " + myChar.speed + "<br>");
document.write(myChar.fname + " " + myChar.lname + "'s agility is " + myChar.agility + "<br>");
document.write(myChar.fname + " " + myChar.lname + "'s weapon of choice is: " + myChar.wep + "<br>");
document.write(myChar.fname + " " + myChar.lname + " feels " + myChar.mood + "<br>");
document.write(myChar.fname + " " + myChar.lname + " attempts his special: ");
myChar.special(myChar.jumpKick)
for (i = 1; i < 101; i++) {
myChar.hits(myChar.allHits)
myChar.lifes(myChar.lifes)
}
function myOutfit() {
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = ("He is wearing " + myChar.outfit)
}
var start = Date.now();
var response = prompt("Do you think my character has what it takes?", "");
var end = Date.now();
var elapsed = (end - start) / 1000;
console.log("You took " + elapsed + " seconds" + " to type: " + response);
You need to have a way to communicate outside of the object, of what is happening inside the object.
For example, when something happens in a function, like lifes() or hits(), you should assign a value to a variable on the object to retain state. That way you can access the state from the for loop.
Example:
this.isAlive = true; // starting condition
this.lifes = function() {
var life = Math.floor(Math.random() * (3 - 0 + 1)) + 0;
this.isAlive = (life > 0);
if (this.alive) {
document.write('you survived');
} else {
document.write('you died');
}
Now in your for loop, you can access isAlive:
// loop until 100 attempts or you die, which ever comes first
for (i = 1; i < 101 && myChar.isAlive; i++) {
myChar.hits(myChar.allHits)
myChar.lifes(myChar.lifes)
}
well in general you can break out of foor loops aswell as prevent further execution of a foor loop and continue the next iteration:
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if (i == 4) continue;
if (i == 8) break;
console.log(i);
}
this will basically print: 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7
(as you can see it kind of skipped 4)
(it will also work in while / do while loops)
so in your case you could check if the return value of one of your functions is true or false or do some other kind of conditional checking in order to break out of the loop.
or similar to how Rob Brander wrote in his answer:
var maxTurns = 100;
var turns = 0;
while (myChar.isAlive && ++turns <= maxTurns) {
myChar.hits();
myChar.lifes();
}
console.log("character is: " + myChar.isAlive ? "alive" : "dead");
console.log("after: " + turns + " turns.");
I am trying to create a circular page with tabs around it and the SVG path are not being appended to the html.
Any help would be grateful. I have not worked with JS in a long time since I have moved on to Java so my skills are rusty.
var tabs = 10;
var radius = 500;
var xcords = [];
for (var i = 1; i <= tabs; i++) {
xcords[xcords.length] = radius + Math.cos(36 * i + 18) * radius;
}
var ycords = [];
for (var i = 1; i <= tabs; i++) {
ycords[ycords.length] = radius + Math.sin(36 * i + 18) * radius;
}
$(document).ready(function(){
for (var i = 1; i < tabs; i++) {
$(".svg").prepend("<path class='piece' />");
$(".piece").attr({
"d" : "M" + xcords[i] + "," + ycords[i] + "L500,500 L" + xcords[i + 1] + "," + ycords[i + 1] " A500,500 0 0,0 " + xcords[i] + "," + ycords[i] + " Z"
});
}
$(".piece").mouseenter(function() {
$(this).fadeTo(100, 0.7);
});
$(".piece").mouseleave(function() {
$(this).fadeTo(100, 1);
});
$(".piece").click(function() {
$(".center").attr("fill",$(this).attr("fill"));
});
});
I know that the array id not large enough to get xcords[11] but a solution to it would be helpful.
this is what i have but i need to record the problems that are wrong and have the user answer them until there right, keep prompting the user for the problem until its right this was a 4 part problem and part3 is to have the same problem repeat until its completed
ex.(7+1=6) repeat(7+1=4) repeat (7+1=8) next problem
the user has to complete 5 problems and they have to be correct
<html>
<script>
var file=0;
var fileIndex=new Array();
var user=prompt("what is "+a+" + "+b);
var arr=[user,user,user,user,user];
var a=Math.floor(Math.random()*11);
var b=Math.floor(Math.random()*11);
var answer=parseInt(a+b);
var user=prompt("what is "+a+" + "+b);
while (user != answer && file++ != 4) {
fileIndex.push(user);
user = prompt("what is " + a + "+" + b);
} else {
alert("answer is:" + answer);
}
}//close for
</script>
Update:
var a = 1,
b = 1;
var answer = a + b,
tick = 0;
var file_index = [], copy;
function randomize() {
a = Math.floor(Math.random() * 11);
b = Math.floor(Math.random() * 11);
answer = a + b;
}
while (1)
{
if ((copy = prompt("What is " + a + " + " + " b?", 0)) != answer)
{
if (!copy) break;
file_index.push(copy);
randomize();
} else if (tick == 4) {
break;
} else {
++tick;
}
}

To preface this, we are a small organization and this system was built by someone long ago. I am a total novice at javascript so I have trouble doing complicated things, but I will do my best to understand your answers. But unfortunately redoing everything from scratch is not really an option at this point.
We have a system of collecting data where clients use a login to verify a member ID, which the system then uses to pull records from an MS Access database to .ASP/html forms so clients can update their data. One of these pages has the following function that runs on form submit to check that data in fields a/b/c sum to the same total as d/e/f/g/h/i. It does this separately for each column displayed (each column is a record in the database, each a/b/c/d/e/f is a field in the record.)
The problem is with this section of the function:
for (var j=0; j<recCnt; j++) {
sumByType = milesSurf[j] + milesElev[j] + milesUnder[j];
sumByTrack = milesSingle[j] + milesDouble[j] + milesTriple[j] + milesQuad[j] + milesPent[j] + milesSex[j];
etc.
It should use javascript FOR to loop through each record and test to see if they sum to the same thing.
In Firefox and IE this is working properly; the fields sum properly into "sumByType" and "sumByTrack". You can see below I added a little alert to figure out what was going wrong:
alert(sumByType + " " + j + " " + recCnt + " " + milesSurf[j] + " " + milesElev[j] + " " + milesUnder[j]);
In Chrome, that alert tells me that the components of "sumByType" and "sumByTrack" (the various "milesXXXXX" variables) are undefined.
My question is: Why in Chrome is this not working properly, when in IE and FFox it is? Any ideas?
Full function code below:
function submitCheck(formy, recCnt) {
//2/10/03: added milesQuad
//---------------checks Q#4 that Line Mileage by type is the same as by track

var j = 0; var sumByTrack = 0; var liney; var yrOp;
//var str = "document.frm.milesElev" + j;
//alert(str.value);

I think for (var i in document.frm) is the problem. You should not enumerate a form element, there will be plenty of unexpected properties - see Why is using "for...in" with array iteration a bad idea?, which is especially true for array-like objects. I can't believe this works properly in FF :-)
Use this:
var ele = document.frm.elements; // or even better document.getElementById("frm")
for (var i=0; i<ele.length; i++) {
// use ele[i] to access the element,
// and ele[i].name instead of i where you need the name
}
Also, you should favour a loop over those gazillion of if-statements.
