multiplying the elements in parallel Arrays

3 New Member
Hi

I am a beginner and currently trying to create a small program. I seem to be stuck on the multiplication of their elements. Eg. I have an Array with 4 different prices for 4 different products and have created 2 other Arrays to which I have assigned values through window.prompt(p arseFloat) , what I am trying to do is multiplicate the values on the parallel arrays by their corresponding indexes and keep a running total so I can have an overall total afterwards. Sorry if the explanation sounds poor.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. var priceOfprod [12,14,2,45];
  2.  
  3. var numberOfproducts;
  4. numberOfproducts = parseFloat(window.prompt('how many different products you wish to purchase?',''));
  5.  
  6.  
  7. var orderProductArray = new Array (numberOfproducts)
  8. var orderQuantityArray = new Array (numberOfproducts)
  9. for (var count = 0; count < numberOfproducts; count = count + 1)
  10. {
  11.     indexOf = parseFloat(window.prompt ('please enter item required',''));
  12.     quantity = parseFloat(window.prompt('how many units of this product do you required?',''));
  13.  
  14. productPrices[indexOf] + '<br>')
  15. orderProductArray[count] = indexOf;
  16. orderQuantityArray[count] = quantity;
  17. };

Instead of parseFloat, use parseInt.

say, if you had parallel arrays containing the sales person id, the month, and the sales figures (for that person in that month), sorting on sales figure and preserve the order of figures within the data about the same person: Original Data: id month sales +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ | 432 | | 8 | | 89 | +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ | 123 | | 8 | | 116 |

I am trying to construct two, one-dimensional parallel arrays that will give me a letter grade for whatever score I enter. The two arrays I need are minimum score and grade. I don't understand how to build the score array. The scores are as follows: 0 - 299 should result in a F 300 - 349 should result in a D 350 - 399 should result in a C 400 - 449 should result in a B ...

I'm using an array to store map features (name, lat, lon, caption, etc), from which the user can then select an individual feature. The problem is that when thousands of features are stored in the array, looping over the entire array looking for a match is SLOW. So I'm running a hash in parallel, where every time a feature is pushed onto the array it's name is also added to the hash as an identical key value pair. I then check if the key...

Hi, I'm working on a program that takes the following input from the user: Student Name, Student Number, and Student GPA The information is then supposed to be stored in three separate arrays. Prior to sending the output to the screen, a bubble sort has to be performed so that it's sorted by Student Name.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
