loops

[ballygowanboy]

can anyone tell me where to beging with this one?


Write a program in Javascript which uses a while loop to output a conversion table for 1-100 degrees C to degrees F.



Where F= (C* 9/5) + 32

This sounds like a homework question, and also not a very difficult one.
Look up to the FOR loop in javascript on a tutorial site and you should find all you need to know

Never ask a question about homework. There is no good response, except for, "I want you to do it this way."

While loops better teach the fundamentals behind looping. When you think about it, a for loop is really just an efficient way of coding a while loop with a counter.

i wrote a simple php script, which i then had to turn into a javascript, it's not working.

i'm unsure when to put "var" in front of a variable in javascript.

can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong, thanks.

<script language="javascript1.2">
 
document.write("<b>Celcius to Farenheit</b><br>");
 
function getF(x)
    {
    var convert = x * 1.8 + 32;
    return convert;
    }
 
    var i=0;
 
    while(i<=100) {
        result=getF(i);
        document.write "i - result <br>";
        i=i+1;
    }
 
</script>

this is homework isn't it????

document.write "i - result <br>";

You had this line mostly correct, although its going to literally write i - result then a break

it needs to look something like this

document.write(i - result+"<br>");

        i=i+1;
    }
 
</script>

without testing everything it looks good, but instead of
[html]
<script language="javascript1.2"></script>
[/html]
use
[html]
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
[/html]
info about script tag

and u should use

var result=getF(i);
document.write(i - result+"<br>");
 

test that out...

good luck

ok, almost working, but it's not writing the value of i

i'm just geting - result

-32
-32.8
-33.6
-34.4.................

<script language="javascript1.2">
 
document.write("<b>Celcius to Farenheit</b><br>");
 
function getF(x)
    {
    var convert = x * 1.8 + 32;
    return convert;
    }
 
    var i=0;
 
    while(i<=100) {
        var result=getF(i);
        document.write(i - result+"<br>");
        i=i+1;
    }
 
</script>

hi ballygowanboy,

please use the correct CODE tags when posting code ... and don't use textformating tags for it ... have a look here

kind regards
