If...Else and variables and counts

[Tank]

I am trying to incorporate a count into a variable within an if...else
statement. Here is the code. I cant get it to work. perhaps someone
can assist me.

folder = window.prompt('starting folder','default');
picnumber = window.prompt('pictures taken?','default');
f2 = parseFloat(folder);
p2 = parseFloat(picnumber);
varAdd = f2+p2-1;
varImg = p2;
var9 = '000';
var99 = '00';
var999 = '0';
var9999 = '0000';

for (count1=f2;count1<=varAdd;count1++)
if (count1 <=9)
varFc = var9999 + count1 +;
else if (count1 <=99)
varFc = var9 + count1 +;
else if (count1 <=999)
varFc = var99 + count1 +;
else if (count1 <=9999)
varFc = var999 + count1 +;
else
varFc = + count +;
document.write('mkdir',varFc,'<br>');

Hi,
not best, but most similar to what you've got...

var folder = window.prompt('starting folder','default');
var picnumber = window.prompt('pictures taken?','default');
// SHOULD check the input for correctness, though

var f2 = parseFloat(folder);
var p2 = parseFloat(picnumber);

var varAdd = f2+p2-1;
var varImg = p2;
var var9 = '000';
var var99 = '00';
var var999 = '0';
var var9999 = '0000';
var varFc;

// for test purposes, display the init values before getting into the loop
document.write( 'start=' + f2 + '<br>');
document.write( 'pic=' + p2 + '<br>');
for (var count1=f2; count1<=varAdd; count1++)
{
if (count1 <=9)
varFc = var9999 + count1;
else if (count1 <=99)
varFc = var9 + count1;
else if (count1 <=999)
varFc = var99 + count1;
else if (count1 <=9999)
varFc = var999 + count1;
else
varFc = count1;
document.write('mkdir' + varFc + '<br>');
}

You appear to be trying to count with leading zeroes.

To do that most readily, increase the count by, say, one billion; and
after converting to a string use substring() to remove unwanted leading
digits. If the count K is 7,

document.write('mkdir', String(1e12+K).substr(9), '<br>')

will write mkdir0007 .

But evidently you need to study javascript syntax, as well as
algorithms.
