So I am reasonably new to javascript and jquery. I have been looking at tutorials which have been a good starting point however they all seem to have one question that is right, so they are able to check within a function if the users answer is correct via a if equal to statement for example.
if (answers[i] == userAnswers[i]) {
flag = true;
}
What I would like to do however, is have a different value attached to each of the potential answers for example
var 1 = 50
var 2 = 0
var 3 = 10
Question 1
var a = 1
var b = 2
var c = 3
var d = 3
Question 2
var a = 3
var b = 1
var c = 2
var d = 3
What would be the best way to do something like this?


First, an assumption:
answers[i] contains a number which is what the user picked as an answer to question i (Note: if answers[i] is in fact a character, you can get the integer value by subtracting answers[i] by the ascii value of 'a').
To do what you want to do, simply define a 2-dimensional array score[i][j], where i is the index of the question, and j is the option number (ie the asnwer to question i), then score[i][j] gives the score for this question. So let's say for question 1, the options are as you described above (ie a = good, b = wrong, ...), then you would have
//set the values for the answers
score[1][1] = good; score[1][2] = wrong; score[1][3] = wrong; score[1][4] = okay
score[2][1] = okay; score[2][2] = good; score[2][3] = wrong;
//more score setting
//get the value of the answer
var score_q1 = score[1][answers[1]]
var score_q2 = score[2][answers[2]]
ie, since answers[i] contains the value of the answer as a number, by calling score[question_nb][answers[question_nb]] you get the score for that question. In this case, there are no if statements. If you want to get the total score, just loop over all questions and sum up the score for that question.


The best way would be a key/value pair. I would try something like json. You would have your json with a key of good and a value (for points) as 50. The json would look something like below:
var kvPair = {"good":"50", "wrong":"0", "okay":"10"};
then when someone clicks an answer it would run ajax to determine the score:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
url: "someUrl",
data: kvPair,
success: function (data) {
//do something with score data
},
error: function (event) {
ShowErrorLabel("ERROR in ajax call('someUrl'): \n" + "Error : " + event.status + " - " + event.statusText);
}
});

I am trying to write a program to decrypt a encrypted message. The encrypted message is a very long set of numbers ".296.294.255.268.313.278.311.270.290.305.322.252.276.286.301.305.264.301.251.269.274.311.304.
230.280.264.327.301.301.265.287.285.306.265.282.319.235.262.278.249.239.284.237.249.289.250.
282.240.256.287.303.310.314.242.302.289.268.315.264.293.261.298.310.242.253.299.278.272.333.
272.295.306.276.317.286.250.272.272.274.282.308.262.285.326.321.285.270.270.241.283.305.319.
246.263.311.299.295.315.263.304.279.286.286.299.282.285.289.298.277.292.296.282.267.245.....ect".
Each character of the message is transformed into three different numbers (eg.first character of message is '230 .280 .264' second character is '.327.301.265' ect).
so i am trying to use javascript to add the groups of three numbers and then save them as their own variable. thanks

Assuming msg has that string in it, this will split it up and add the triplets together.
const [, triplets] = msg
.split('.')
.slice(1)
.map(v => +v)
.reduce(([count, list], val, i) => {
if ((i + 1) % 3) return [count + val, list];
return [val, list.concat(count)];
}, [0, []]);

It would depend on how the data is transmitted. It looks like you could bring the data in as a string (or parse it into a string) and then use the split method to create an array of all of your numbers.
var numbers = "234.345.456.567"
var arr = numbers.split(".")
You would then loop over the array doing whatever you need for every set of three
var newArray[]
var i
for(i = 0; i < length; i += 3){
//Add values here
//Parse back to int
newArray.push("sum Value")
}
Hope this was along the lines of what you need.

Use a regular expression to match all groups of three, then map each group to the number by splitting the string by .s and adding the 3 together:
const input = '296.294.255.268.313.278.311.270.290.305.322.252.276.286.301.305.264.301.251.269.274.311.304. 230.280.264.327.301.301.265.287.285.306.265.282.319.235.262.278.249.239.284.237.249.289.250. 282.240.256.287.303.310.314.242.302.289.268.315.264.293.261.298.310.242.253.299.278.272.333. 272.295.306.276.317.286.250.272.272.274.282.308.262.285.326.321.285.270.270.241.283.305.319. 246.263.311.299.295.315.263.304.279.286.286.299.282.285.289.298.277.292.296.282.267.245';
const groupsOfThree = input.match(/\d{3}\.\d{3}\.\d{3}\./g);
const sums = groupsOfThree.map((group) => {
const nums = group.split('.').map(Number);
return nums[0] + nums[1] + nums[2];
});
console.log(sums);

I want to make an algorithm, for a NodeJS app, that converta any given string to a 1 to 3 digit number (better if the number is between 1-500).
e.g
ExampleString -> 214
Can anyone help me find a good solution?
EDIT:
I want to get a crime coefficient number from a username (string).

Ok, you can use JS function to get charCode of letter
let str = "some string example";
let sum = 0;
for (let i=0; i<str.length; i++) {
sum += parseInt(str[i].charCodeAt(0), 10); // Sum all codes
}
// Now we have some value as Number in sum, lets convert it to 0..1 value to scale to needed value
let rangedSum = parseFloat('0.' + String(sum)); // Looks dirty but works
let resultValue = Math.round(rangedSum * 500) + 1; // Same alogorythm as using Math.random(Math.round() * (max-min)) + min;
I hope it helps.
So as you are using nodejs, you can use crypto library to get md5 hash of string and then get it as HEX.
const crypto = require('crypto');
let valueHex = crypto.createHash('md5').update('YOUR STRING HERE').digest('hex');
// then get it as decimal based value
let valueDec = parseInt(valueHex, 16);
// and apply the same algorythm as above to scale it between 1-500

function coeficient() {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * 500) + 1;
}
console.log(coeficient());
console.log(coeficient());
console.log(coeficient());

Addition returns wrong value in JavaScript [closed]

When I tried with additions of variables I saw that:
https://jsfiddle.net/tyfyLsw9/
I think it's because this doesn't contain an integer.
var month = $("#monthd").val();
var J = 1;
var D = 8;
var K = J + D;
var U = J + month;
As you can see in fiddle J + month returns 110 instead of 11, why?

its a string, so the number you are adding gets coerced into a string as well. "10" + "1" = "101";
simply wrap the value returned in a Number Construct
var month = Number($("#monthd").val());
additionally you can use parseInt if the values are integers.
var month = parseInt($("#monthd").val(), 10);
the , 10 is important to parse it with base 10.

I have an string of numbers "123456" i want to split them in all possible ways.
So
1 23456
1 2 3456
1 23 45 6
1234 5 6
and so on
What i have tried...
looping over len-1, and splitting on every index, but logically it misses a lot of possible scenarios.

You could try a recursive function like below...
<script lang="javascript">
// Split string into all combinations possible
function splitAllWays(result, left, right){
// Push current left + right to the result list
result.push(left.concat(right));
//document.write(left.concat(right) + '<br />');
// If we still have chars to work with in the right side then keep splitting
if (right.length > 1){
// For each combination left/right split call splitAllWays()
for(var i = 1; i < right.length; i++){
splitAllWays(result, left.concat(right.substring(0, i)), right.substring(i));
}
}
// Return result
return result;
};
var str = "123456";
var ans = splitAllWays([], [], str);
</script>
Results
123456
1,23456
1,2,3456
1,2,3,456
1,2,3,4,56
1,2,3,4,5,6
1,2,3,45,6
1,2,34,56
1,2,34,5,6
1,2,345,6
1,23,456
1,23,4,56
1,23,4,5,6
1,23,45,6
1,234,56
1,234,5,6
1,2345,6
12,3456
12,3,456
12,3,4,56
12,3,4,5,6
12,3,45,6
12,34,56
12,34,5,6
12,345,6
123,456
123,4,56
123,4,5,6
123,45,6
1234,56
1234,5,6
12345,6
I think that is the right results (32 combinations). Can someone confirm?

I have a simple code gotten from the internet and it did not answer what I really wanted as output. I have two input fields; one for the input and another for the output and they are processed through this function:
<script type="text/javascript">
function AnEventHasOccurred() {
var x = document.getElementById("onkeyup").value
if (x >= "100") {
document.getElementById("eventlog").value = "" +
return x = ['Generalities'];
}
}
</script>
What I'm really needing is that when I enter numbers below 100, output must be Generalities. I haven't got it correctly. And I went here to ask some help. Thanks.

You're never outputting your value back into the output field. All you're doing is returning the value. You need to set the value of your output field to "Generalities".
Example
var input = document.getElementById("onkeyup").value;
// You should be giving your elements meaningful IDs.
if(+input < 100) {
document.getElementById("output").value = 'Generalities';
// Assumes an output field called "output".
}

Try this:
function AnEventHasOccurred() {
var x = document.getElementById("onkeyup").value;
if (x < 100){
document.getElementById("eventlog").value = "Generalities";
}
}

I see a few errors. Check this out for comparison:
function AnEventHasOccurred() {
// should probably save the elements to variables
// since you'll be checking and changing the values
var x = document.getElementById("onkeyup");
var y = document.getElementById("eventlog");
// should be 100, not "100"
if (x.value < 100) {
y.value = "Generalities";
} else {
y.value = "";
}
}
This should work fine. Check it out on jsfiddle.
More Recommendations
Your return statement doesn't correspond with your "output": it
does nothing valuable in this case.
You check or set the value of an input by getting the element and
using its value key.
You should put semi-colons at the end of most javascript lines, with the exceptions generally being curly brackets {}, comments // and /* */, and empty lines.
