  1. Core JavaScript Array, Boolean, Date, Function, Math, Number, Object, String, regExp

  2. Array • The Array object let's you store multiple values in a single variable. • Syntax: • var leaders = new Array( “Gandhi", “Mandela", “Aung San Suu Kyi " ); or var fruits = [ “Gandhi", “Mandela", “Aung San Suu Kyi “ ]; leaders[0]=Gandhi leaders[1]=Mandela leaders[2]=Aung San Suu Kyi

  3. August 26 1988, addressed a half-million mass rally in front of the famous Shwedagon Pagoda in Rangoon • Purpose: call for a democratic government. • Military Govt arrest: detained for six years and released on July 10, 1995. During detention was awarded the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize. • Established a health and education trust in support of the Burmese people to use the $1.3 million prize money. • Quotes: • A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination. • Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

  4. Array Properties

  5. array_nm.length <body> • <script type="text/javascript"> • var arr = new Array( 10, 20, 30 ); • document.write("arr.length is : " + arr.length); • </script> • </body> • Output: • arr.length is : 3

  6. Property : Constructor • <html> <head> • <title> JavaScript Array constructor Property</title> </head> • <body> • <script type="text/javascript"> • vararr = new Array( 10, 20, 30 ); • document.write("arr.constructor is::" + arr.constructor); • </script> • </body> • </html> arr.constructor is:: function Array() { [native code] }

  7. Property: Prototype • The prototype property allows you to add properties and methods to any object (Number, Boolean, String and Date etc). • Note: Prototype is a global property which is available with almost all the objects. • Syntax: • object.prototype.name = value

  8. Prototype Example… • <html> • <head> <title>User-defined objects</title> • <script type="text/javascript"> • function book(title, author) • { • this.title = title; • this.author = author; • } • </script> • </head> • <body> • <script type="text/javascript"> • varmyBook = new book(“linux", “Oreilly"); • book.prototype.price = null; • myBook.price = 100; • document.write("Book title is : " + myBook.title + "<br>"); • document.write("Book author is : " + myBook.author + "<br>"); • document.write("Book price is : " +myBook.price+ "<br>"); • </script> • </body> • </html> Book title is : linux Book author is : Oreilly Book price is : 100

  9. Array Methods

  10. array_name.sort() • <script type="text/javascript"> • <!-- • var myArray2= new Array(); • myArray2[0] = "Gandhi"; • myArray2[1] = "Mandela"; • myArray2[2] = "Aung San"; • myArray2.sort(); • document.write(myArray2[0] + myArray2[1] + myArray2[2]); • //--> </script> Aung SanGandhiMandela

  11. Array_nm.reverse() • var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"]; • fruits.reverse(); • The result of fruits will be: • Mango,Apple,Orange,Banana

  12. array_name.concat() <script type="text/javascript"> var alpha = ["a", "b", "c"]; var numeric = [1, 2, 3]; varalphaNumeric = alpha.concat ( numeric ); document.write("alphaNumeric : " + alphaNumeric ); </script> alphaNumeric : a,b,c,1,2,3

  13. array_name.concat() <script type="text/javascript"> var alpha = ["a", "b", "c"]; var numeric = [1, 2, 3]; var symbols = [“%”,”$”, “#”]; varalphaNumeric = alpha.concat ( numeric, symbols ); document.write("alphaNumeric : " + alphaNumeric ); </script> alphaNumeric : a,b,c,1,2,3,%,$,#

  14. Practice Question • Create 2 arrays: leaders {Gandhi, Mandela, Aung San} • Countries {India, Burma, S.Africa} • Write a JavaScript to concatenate and sort the two arrays: Such that the output is as follows: sortNconcat: Aung San, Burma, Gandhi, India, Mandela, S.Africa List two any 2 ways to perform the above task.

  15. Key: • <script type="text/javascript"> • <!-- var leaders= new Array(); • var countries= ["India","Burma","S.Africa"]; • leaders[0] = "Gandhi"; leaders[1] = "Mandela"; • leaders[2] = "Aung San"; leaders.sort(); • document.write("leader:"+leaders[0] + leaders[1] + leaders[2]); • document.write("<br>Countries:"+countries); • var sortNconcat = leaders.concat(countries.sort()); • document.write("<br>sortNconcat:"+sortNconcat); • document.write("<br>sortNconcat:"+sortNconcat.sort()); • //--> </script

  16. array_name.indexOf() • What does it do? • The indexOf() method searches the array for the specified item, and returns it's position. • How does it search? • The search will start at the specified position, or at the beginning if no start position is specified, and end the search at the end of the array. • What if it does not find the element? • It Returns -1 if the item is not found.

  17. If duplicate entries exist then? • Then indexOf method returns the position of the first occurrence. • What if the element is on the first position? • The first item has position 0, the second item has position 1, and so on. So indexOf() would return 0. • What if we wish to search from back to front? • If you want to search from end to start, use the lastIndexOf() method • The indexOf() method is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 and earlier as it was introduces in javascript 1.6.

  18. Syntax:array.indexOf(item,start) var fruits = [ "Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango", "Banana", "Orange", "Apple"]; var a = fruits.indexOf("Apple",4); The result of a will be: 6

  19. Array_nm.lastIndexOf(item,start) • The lastIndexOf() method searches the array for the specified item, and returns it's position. • The search will start at the specified position, or at the end if no start position is specified, and end the search at the beginning of the array. • Returns -1 if the item is not found. • If the item to search for is present more than once, the lastIndexOf method returns the position of the last occurence.

  20. Example 1: LastIndexOf(item,start); • var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"]; • var a = fruits.lastIndexOf("Apple"); • The result of a will be: 2

  21. Example 2 : LastIndexOf(item,start); • var fruits = [ "Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango", "Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango“ ]; • var a=fruits.lastIndexOf("Apple",4) • The result of a will be: 2

  22. Example 3 : LastIndexOf(item,start); • var fruits = [ "Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango", "Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango“ ]; • var a=fruits.lastIndexOf("Apple",7) • The result of a will be: 6

  23. Array_name.push() • The push() method adds new items to the end of an array, and returns the new length. • The new item(s) will be added at the end of the array. • This method changes the length of the array. • Tip: To add items at the beginning of an array, use the unshift() method.

  24. Example: • var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];fruits.push("Kiwi") • The result of fruits will be: • Banana,Orange,Apple,Mango,Kiwi • In order to add more items, use the comma separator and pass as arguments.

  25. Unshift() • array.unshift(item1,item2, ..., itemX); • var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"]; • fruits.unshift("Lemon","Pineapple"); • Output: • The result of fruits will be: • Lemon,Pineapple,Banana,Orange,Apple,Mango

  26. Shift() • Syntax: array.shift() • The shift() method removes the first item of an array, and returns that item. • Remember:This method changes the length of an array! • Trick: To remove the last item of an array, use the pop() method

  27. Example: • var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"]; • fruits.shift() • OUTPUT: • The result of fruits will be: • Orange, Apple, Mango • There exist 14 methods in all for the array object

  28. Strings: • The String object is used to manipulate a stored piece of text. • String objects are created with new String(). • Syntax: • var txt = new String("string"); • var txt = "string";

  29. Search() • The search() method searches a string for a specified value, or regular expression, and returns the position of the match. • This method returns -1 if no match is found. • Syntax: • string.search(searchvalue)

  30. Str_nm.search(searchValue) • Parameter: Parameter Description searchvalue Required. • Value: The value, or regular expression, to search for. • Return Value • position of the first occurance of the specified searchvalue

  31. Example: search() • var str= “Tina Ma’am stays at Colaba"; • document.write(str.search(“at")); • The result of n will be? • 18 • 17 • 16 • 15

  32. ThinkThink Think • What is the difference between indexOf() and search() methods for a string, if they perform the same task???

  33. Substr() • This method returns the characters in a string beginning at the specified location through the specified number of characters. • Syntax: • string.substr(start[, length]); • start : Location at which to begin extracting characters (an integer between 0 and one less than the length of the string). • length : The number of characters to extract.

  34. Substr() • Note: If start is negative, substr uses it as a character index from the end of the string. • The substr method returns the new sub string based on given parameters. • Watch out for the next interesting program:

  35. (1,2): pp (-2,2): Ap (1): pples are round, and apples are juicy. (-20, 2): Ap (20, 2): d • <html> <head> • <title>JavaScript String substr() Method</title> </head> • <body> <script type="text/javascript"> • var str = "Apples are round, and apples are juicy."; • document.write("(1,2): " + str.substr(1,2)); • document.write("<br />(-2,2): " + str.substr(-2,2)); • document.write("<br />(1): " + str.substr(1)); • document.write("<br />(-20, 2): " + str.substr(-20,2)); • document.write("<br />(20, 2): " + str.substr(20,2)); • </script> </body> </html> Now jot down your answers
