Hi everyone,
I am a newbie to javascript learning it for 2 months now, i am trying
to make a sorter who will read english words from the one textbox or
datafile and store them in a 2 dimensional array, so in other words,
howerever the words are set, horizontally the one following th eother
or the one under the other i want it to work, i tried some code but i
am having problems it only work when the text entered is horizontal
like the one word following the other when i try to enter a second
word after pressing ENTER, i dont get any result,
here is my code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Number s and Words Sorter</title>
</head>
<body>
<td><b>Sortin g Machine</b></td><p>
<script type="text/javascript">
function sortalpha(x,y)
{
return(x-y)
}
function sortvalues(para m)
{
var inputvalues =
document.Form.t extInput.value. toUpperCase().s plit(" ")
if (param==0)
inputvalues.sor t()
else
inputvalues.sor t(sortalpha)
for (i=0; i < inputvalues.len gth-1; i++)
document.Form.t extOutput.value = document.Form.t extOutput.value
+inputvalues[i] + " "
document.Form.t extOutput.value += inputvalues[inputvalues.len gth-1]
}
</script>
<form name="Form">
<textarea rows="10" name="textInput " cols="30" wrap="virtual">
</textarea>
<textarea rows="10" name="textOutpu t" cols="30" wrap="virtual">
</textarea>
<p>
<input type = "button" value="Sort Letters" name="Button"
onClick="sortva lues(0)">
<br>
<input type = "button" value="Sort Numbers" name="Button"
onClick="sortva lues(1)">
<br>
<input type = file name ="file" size =15>
<br>
<input type = "button" value="print" name="Button"
onClick="print( document.Form.t extOutput.value )">
<br>
<input type = "reset" value="Reset" name="Button">
</form>
</body>
</html>
=============== =============== =============== =============== ===
this code works in some cases but in others it doesnt for example in
the case of parenthesis, the parenthesis do not go before the letters
eventhough their ASCII is < , and it generates empty spaces in the
output which i can not explain, i know it is something wrong in my
code but i need your help please pointing out the problem.
I want to make this program work perfect, and i want to add more
things to it, but for the time being this is the obvious problem i am
infront,
Thanks in advance for any help! 1 2988

I'm not exactly sure what your code is trying to do. If you could post
your input and the EXPECTED output, that might help.
Meanwhile, here are a few pointers on things that looked strange to me.
<html>
<head>
<title>Number s and Words Sorter</title</head>
<body>
<td><b>Sortin g Machine</b></td><p>
(Bad markup, you should remove the "<td></td>")
<script type="text/javascript">
function sortalpha(x,y)
{
return(x-y)
This is a numeric test. With strings it ALWAYS returns the value NaN.
(You should be using compare operators here.)
}
function sortvalues(para m)
{
var inputvalues =
document.Form.t extInput.value. toUpperCase().s plit(" ")
This particular split leaves EOL (end of line) markers in place.
>
if (param==0)
inputvalues.sor t()
else
inputvalues.sor t(sortalpha)
I strongly suggest you put braces here. Not putting them in tends to
bite you later on.
Like this:
if (param==0) {
inputvalues.sor t();
} else {
inputvalues.sor t(sortalpha);
}
>
for (i=0; i < inputvalues.len gth-1; i++)
document.Form.t extOutput.value =
document.Form.t extOutput.value
+inputvalues[i] + " "
Likewise, I could include braces around this one-statement block as a
matter of style.
>
document.Form.t extOutput.value += inputvalues
[inputvalues.len gth-1]
>
}
</script>
<form name="Form">
<textarea rows="10" name="textInput " cols="30"
wrap="virtual">
</textarea>
<textarea rows="10" name="textOutpu t" cols="30"
wrap="virtual">
</textarea>
<p>
<input type = "button" value="Sort Letters" name="Button"
onClick="sortva lues(0)">
<br>
<input type = "button" value="Sort Numbers" name="Button"
onClick="sortva lues(1)">
<br>
<input type = file name ="file" size =15<br>
<input type = "button" value="print" name="Button"
onClick="print( document.Form.t extOutput.value )">
<br>
<input type = "reset" value="Reset" name="Button">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks in advance for any help!
In the future, PLEASE post any example code indented with SPACES and not
tabs.
While it doesn't have anything to do with your problem, as far as I can
tell, your HTML markup needs some help as well. Forms should have (and I
believe) are required to have an action. It is seldom a good idea to
give multiple form entries the same name. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Can anyone please tell me how to calculate the size of the following

Hey,
The Array.Sort function only applies to one-dimension arrays. Is there a
solution for sorting a two-dimensional array, preferably *without* the usage
of additional controls such as listbox/flexgrid?
Example:
OrderMatrix(0, iSortTheseRows)
Where "0" is the sortable value (articlenumber), and "iSortTheseRows" are

Hey, I'm working on a project that involves sorting a two-dimensional array of integers using bubble sort. I've got it semi-working, my only issue is that it seems to be 'losing' values, I'm assuming when it gets to the end of a line in the array. It also has to run several times to get the values it keeps in completely correct order.

The subject might be misleading.
Regardless, is this code valid:

void f(double *p, size_t size) { while(size--) printf("%f\n", *p++); }
int main(void) {
double array = { { 3.14 }, { 42.6 } };
f((double *)array, sizeof array / sizeof **array);

I have scoured the internet for articles on sorting multi-dimensional

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
