justsomeguy Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Then the code will have to beIf you want to loop over 4 to 6, then loop over 4 to 6. That is far less confusing than looping from 4 to length - 15. If I saw that code I would be wondering what the significance of 15 is, why 15? If you want 4 through 6 then just do 4 through 6. You can also access each element individually without a loop.This should not be zero... a least to my logic.Look at the Wikipedia article. Pay attention to the difference between pre and post increment. After that for loop ends, what will the values of i and e be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Let me give you a piece of advice. You like to scream in all caps about how you want more online documentation and guides. You say that you have already read a lot of online documentation and guides. You obviously don't understand very well how this stuff works, so I would suggest that the online documentation and guides are not working for you nearly as well as you think they are. I would suggest it is time for a book that contains exercises that you can practice with. What you are doing now is not working well, you should change it up. Something like MDN is not there to teach people how to write Javascript, it is a reference for people who already know Javascript where they can look up the details about how to use a specific thing. I do not consider that a learning resource, it is documentation for existing developers. Documentation isn't there to teach you how to program, it is only a reference. Look at the reference for a for loop, for example:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/forThat is not teaching you what a for loop is, why you might want to use it, where to use a for loop instead of a while loop, do loop, etc, any of that. It is not teaching theory, it is describing how to use it. The intended audience for that is not someone who doesn't know how to program, it is someone who is familiar with looping in other languages and wants to know how to do it in Javascript.An analogy is a dictionary. The purpose of an English dictionary is not to teach people how to speak English, it is a reference for existing English speakers to look up words they don't know. That's what documentation is. If someone wants to learn how to speak English, they take classes.Pay attention to the quote in my signature from the man who invented C++: Know the foundations of computer science: algorithms, machine architectures, data structures, etc. Don't just blindly copy techniques from application to application. Know what you are doing, that it works, and why it works. Don't think you know what the industry will be in five years time or what you'll be doing then, so gather a portfolio of general and useful skills. Try to write better, more principled code. Work to make "programming" more of a professional activity and less of a low-level "hacking" activity (programming is also a craft, but not just a craft). Learn from the classics in the field and the better advanced textbooks; don't be satisfied with the easily digested "how to" guides and online documentation - it's shallow.-- Bjarne StroustrupHe is the computer science chair at Texas A&M University. You can go there and learn directly from someone who created one of the most commonly used languages today. If you don't want to take our advice, take his - online documentation is shallow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingolme Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 From Nodejs.org: Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. It's a scripting language that employs Javascript syntax to build networking applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFish Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Javascript is a glue. It's becoming more popular as more than just a browser scripting language but it's always been a glue. You can't JUST lean javascript and do everything you want to do. Learn it along-side your server language (###### if it's nodejs more power to you) and your client language (probably html). But in technology there isn't just one language. You'l end up learning many languages to accomplish your goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
