Can I write this shorter?

[Smyke]

Hello

I have this code:
changeout('sub1'); changeout('sub2'); changeout('sub3');

and wonder if its possible to shorten it? To something like this:
changeout (('sub1'),('sub2'),('sub3'));

Thanks

You can pass the parameter inside an string with a string separator like ";"
and split into an array inside the function. Then make a For Loop and make
the operation for each element in the array...this allows you to pass any
number of elements to the function.

Not unless the function changeout is build to understand it. There is
a big difference between calling a function once and calling it three
times.

Unless you have *many* calls, I doubt you save anything by making an
easier way to call the function. The extra code required for that will
take more work than just calling three times.

Perhaps:

for (var i=1;i<=3;i++){
changeout("sub"+i);
}

or

function chgout(){
for (var i=0;i<arguments.length;i++)
changeout(arguments[i]);
}

and then

chgout('sub1','sub2','sub3');
