2001 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 4 Global Methods paresFloat(string) –It parses a string, passed as an argument, and returns it as a floating point number. parseInt(string) –It parses a string, passed as an argument, and returns integer.

2001 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 5 Arrays Creating Arrays: –Arrays can be constructed in three different ways. e.g. var days = [“Monday”, “Tuesday”, “Thursday”]; var days = new array(“Monday”, “Tuesday”, “Thursday”); var days = new array(4);
6
2001 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 6 Arrays Adding an element to an Array: 1.var data = [“Monday”, “Tuesday”, 34, 76,“Thursday”]; 2.data[5] = “Thursday”; 3.data[23] = 48; Accessing array Member: var len = data.length Searching an Array: for(var count=0; count < len; count++)\ { if( data[count] = = “Thursay” }

Provides some computation, manipulation of display, customization (Repeat commercial for follow-on courses: Creating Dynamic Web Documents & Creating Databases for the Web)

2001 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 8 Location of JavaScript Mostly in the head section of HTML file, use script tags and then enclose in comments <!-- document.write("Hello World!"); //--> Some JavaScript would be in the body, generally inside or tags. These are often calls to functions.

2001 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 9 Elements of JavaScript Typical programming elements: –variables, operators, expressions, statements, definition of functions Connection to Web –Document Object Model = names of ‘things’, properties, methods (e.g., document.write) –events (e.g., onSubmit, onMouseOver)
10
2001 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 10 Variable … is something that holds a value, a value being a string of characters, a number, a set of things (such as strings or numbers). Examples: –5 –2.50 –"Purchase College" –"bird.gif"
11
2001 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 11 Statements Programs ‘flow’ from statement to statement Simple statements –Assignment (setting the value of a variable) –calls to procedures Certain statements are compound statements, with the statements ‘inside’ operating depending on certain rules –Loops, conditionals (If, switch) Punctuation (brackets, semicolons) can be tricky!

The first argument passed to method prompt is the message to be displayed. The second argument is the default value for the text field. Function parseInt converts its string argument to an integer. The + operator adds the two numbers input by the user.

2001 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 20 Another JavaScript Program: Adding Integers When the user clicksOK, the value typed by the user is returned to the program as a string. The program must convert the string to a number. This is the text field in which the user types the value. This is the prompt to the user. This is the default value if the user does not enter a number. Fig. 7.7Prompt dialog displayed by the window object’s prompt method.
