How can I add strings to array in javascript - arrays

I wanna create an array in javascript which looks like this:
[0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0],[0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,1,1,0],[0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,0,1,1,0],[0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0]
My problem is that I don't know how to add the opening and closing square brackets to the start and the end of the output string.
here's my code:
game = new Array();
for(row=0;row<matrix.length;++row){
game[row]=matrix[row].join(',');
}
document.getElementById('jsvalue').value=game.join('],[');
document.getElementById('name2').value = name;
I tried a few things, but they didn't seem to work and all I got were errors or this output:
0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0],[0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,1,1,0],[0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,0,1,1,0],[0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0
How could I add them? Is there a simple array method that I missed and would solve my problem?
Thanks in advance!


It looks like you are trying to set the value of an HTML element to the format you described in your question. However, you are not setting the value of that HTML element to an Array - you are setting it to a string. the .join function outputs a string. If indeed you want the value to be set to a string formatted in the way you described, then you could take advantage of .join, but have to do a little bit in addition to what you are doing:
game = new Array();
for(row=0;row<matrix.length;++row){
game[row]= "[" + matrix[row].join(',') + "]";
}
document.getElementById('jsvalue').value=game.join(',');
document.getElementById('name2').value = name;


If you are using join to create the string, then why not just manually add the brackets?
For example:
document.getElementById('jsvalue').value= '[' + game.join('],[') + ']';

How to use Array in JEXL?

Using JEXL, I am trying to initialize array and than adding elements into it, however below code gives me 'unsolvable property '0' error.
var abc=[];
abc[0]=5;
1) How can I initialize empty array and keep adding values in it?
2) Can I use it like List, where I do not need to specify size at the time of initialization ?

in JEXL syntax you can initialize objects with new function.
Other option is to add to context arraylist:
This is a working example with jexl2:
JexlEngine jexl = new JexlEngine();
String jexlExp = "var abc=new(\"java.util.ArrayList\", 1);abc[0]=5";
Expression e = jexl.createExpression( jexlExp );
List<Integer> abc = new ArrayList<>(1);
JexlContext jc = new MapContext();
//jc.set("abc", abc ); second option to add arraylist to context
Object o = e.evaluate(jc);

In JEXL, the syntax [] creates a Java array, not a List. As an array, it has a fixed size, so you cannot add values to it. However, JEXL 3.2 has a new syntax for creating an ArrayList literal. Basically, you add ... as the final element.
So in JEXL 3.2, your example could be written as:
var abc=[...];
abc.add(5);
See the JEXL literal syntax reference for more information.

appendRow from an array

If I have an array, [Joe, John, Adam, Sam, Bill, Bob] and I want to try to add this to a new row by doing SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Sheet4').appendRow([array]); , what happens is that the entire list of names goes into 1 cell. Is there a way to break this up so they file away into the same row, but different columns? I need to continue using appendRow however.
I get this:
But I really want to have it look like this:
var my2DArrayFromRng = datasheet.getRange("A:A").getValues();
var a = my2DArrayFromRng.join().split(',').filter(Boolean);
var array = [];
for (d in a) {
array.push(a[d]);
}
SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Sheet4').appendRow([array.toString()]);

You are converting your array to a string before you post it which is causing your issue.
Do not use the array.toString() method inside append row. Instead just append the array as it is.
SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Sheet4').appendRow(array);

Flash getter method is not able to return a 2D Array

As the title says. I tried it with a String or a normal Array and it works. But when I try to pass on my 2D Array my class won't get anything. We're talking about an Array 16 width and about 50 in length.
In my XMLLoader.as class I have this:
function getConvoArray():Array
{
trace("convoArray send");
return convoArray;
}
And in my DialogueGenerator.as class I have this:
xmlLoader = new XMLLoader("ConvoLines.xml");
convoArray = xmlLoader.getConvoArray();
I've checked if the variable convoArray is filled in the XMLLoader.as class by tracing it in a for loop; it works perfectly. But then, when I try to pass it on to the DialogueGenerator.as class it seems to be empty. I cannot excess anything and Flash doesn't give me an error or a warning.
I simply have my Array in DialogueGenerator declared as this:
public var convoArray:Array;
But I tried different ways of declaring it.
Is there a solution for this? A workaround?

For loading xml I use something like this....
var fileName:String = "ConvoLines.xml";
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoaderComplete);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, LoaderError);
loader.load(new URLRequest(fileName + "?rnd=" + Math.random()));
// we affix rand to prevent it from caching the file,
// you don't have to add the ? variable if you aren't worried about it
// updating smoothly
Then in the "LoaderComplete" function we just get the xml out. Hope that helps.
var convoXML:XML = new XML(event.target.data);

Scala Converting Each Array Element to String and Splitting

I have an array loaded in, and been playing around in the REPL but can't seem to get this to work.
My array looks like this:
record_id|string|FALSE|1|
offer_id|decimal|FALSE|1|1,1
decision_id|decimal|FALSE|1|1,1
offer_type_cd|integer|FALSE|1|1,1
promo_id|decimal|FALSE|1|1,1
pymt_method_type_cd|decimal|FALSE|1|1,1
cs_result_id|decimal|FALSE|1|1,1
cs_result_usage_type_cd|decimal|FALSE|1|1,1
rate_index_type_cd|decimal|FALSE|1|1,1
sub_product_id|decimal|FALSE|1|1,1
campaign_id|decimal|FALSE|1|1,1
When I run my command:
for(i <- 0 until schema.length){
val convert = schema(i).toString;
convert.split('|').drop(2);
println(convert);
}
It won't drop anything. It also is not splitting it on the |

Strings are immutable, and so split and drop don't mutate the string - they return a new one.
You need to capture the result in a new val
val split = convert.split('|').drop(2);
println(split.mkString(" "));

Consider also defining a lambda function for mapping each item in the array, where intermediate results are passed on with the function,
val res = schema.map(s => s.toString.split('|').drop(2))

Please assist to remove last comma from while loop

You're probably assuming this is a duplicate content. It is NOT. I tried all the solutions. Here's the problem.
If you use any solution (substr, rtrim, etc.) inside the while loop, it removes them from each looped item. If you use any solution outside of the while loop, then only the last item of your while loop will show.
Solution inside while loop:
(a,b,c,d,e,) becomes (abcde)
Solution outside while loop:
(a,b,c,d,e,) becomes (e).
Much clarification on this is much appreciated. Thank You for the help! Yes, I've been working on this six hours now. Please help me solve this issue.
Here's my code (without the solution in it):
<script type="text/javascript">
states=new array (<?php $query18 = "SELECT * FROM states ORDER BY state ASC";
$result18 = $db->query($query18);
while ($row18 = $result18->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
$states4 = $row18['state'];
$states5 = "\"$states4\",";
echo $states5;
} ?> ); </script>
I am trying to get my list of states (from database) into an array in javascript.

It seems you have not closed closing bracket of array.
Which should be,
states=new array (<?php $query18 = "SELECT * FROM states ORDER BY state ASC"; $result18 = $db->query($query18); ?>);

I don't know much of JavaScript, but you could change your logic as below:
first=1;
while(there-is-data) {
$states4 = ...
if (first) {
first = 0;
$states5 = $states4;
} else {
$states5 = ","\$states4;
}
} // while
You concatenate a comma and the new data for all iterations except the first. For the first, you exclude the comma.
