How To Calculate Average (Mean) Of Session Variables
Aug 2, 2009
My knowledge of programming is very limited. I would like to calculate the average of session variables in Interpreted Java. However, some of session variables may not always be available. The first thing I do is remove the non numerical portion of the session variables:
String [] variables = {"A",'B','C','D','E'};
i = 0;
Iterate through each variable in the array above
while (i < variables.length){
Get the variables to be fixed
value = session.getVariable(variables[i]);
Log the UNFIXED values
session.log("UNFIXED: " + variables[i] + " = " + value);
if(value != null){
Remove non-numerical elements
value = value.replaceAll("\\D", "");
Set variables with new values
dataRecord.put(variables[i], value);
session.setVariable(variables[i], value);
Log the FIXED values
session.log("FIXED " + variables[i] + " = " + session.getVariable(variables[i]));
} i++;
}
Then I make sure the session variables can be treated as numbers:
A = Integer.parseInt(session.getVariable("A")).intValue();
B = Integer.parseInt(session.getVariable("B")).intValue();
C = Integer.parseInt(session.getVariable("C")).intValue();
D = Integer.parseInt(session.getVariable("D")).intValue();
E = Integer.parseInt(session.getVariable("E")).intValue();
Are they still alive?
session.log("A**" + A + "**");
session.log("B**" + B + "**");
session.log("C**" + C + "**");
session.log("D**" + D + "**");
session.log("E**" + E + "**");
I would like to calculate the average of A and B and save it as session variable AB, calculate the average of C and D and save it as session variable CD, and then the average of AB, CD, and E. Here's the weird part; AB, CD, and or E will not always be available. For example, AB will not be available so I need to calculate the average of CD and E or E will not be available so I need to calculate the average of AB and CD. As I said, my knowledge of programming is very limited so if you could provide code snippet with explanation of each step and where to plug in my session variables.

i am trying to create a interface to average down variable amount of input and show them on screen as they type....this is what i came up with.....and the input box fields....these are dynamically created...
<input type="text" name="datup[0][4]" size="3" onchange="calc()" >
<input type="text" name="datup[1][4]" size="3" onchange="calc()" >
<input type="text" name="datup[2][4]" size="3" onchange="calc()" >

I need to find the average number in javascript. It is the only bit of javascript that I have to do in the course but it carries a high mark of which I cannot afford to lose. Any way the question is : "Write code to calculate the average height and write it out in the browser window"
<HEAD><TITLE> average</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">
//Experimental results of Table 1 stored in arrays.
var Height = [15,16,17,18,19];
var Number = [2,1,6,4,2];
//Part (ii).
//Write code to declare and initialise new array to represent the third row of the table.
var avg = new Array(5)
var avg = ["60","80","187","180","114"] ;
avg[0] = "60";
avg[1] = "80";
avg[2] = "187";
avg[3] = "180";
avg[4] = "114";
//Part (iv).
//Write code to calculate the average height and write it out in the browser window.
avg = 0;
for (var count = 1; count <= 5; count = count + 1)
Array.average = function(){
var avg = 0;
for(var a = 0; a < this.length; a++){
avg += this[a];
} return avg / this.length;
};
document.write('average height is ' +avg + '<br>');
</SCRIPT></HEAD><BODY>
</BODY></HTML>

I've been messing with this code for about a couple of hours, and I did everything down to the wire..yet still I am unable to get it to work. When I input the numbers, and click off to the side nothing appears down at the final textarea of the form which is suppose to show the average.I've tried just about everything, sadly all I have to go by is other example codes, and the very intricate instructions which states I must pass the values to the calcAvg() to the second function of performCalc(), which I did, and then I assigned the var calcResult another value. From there I did the return..and after that I'm rather loss as to what to do next to get this code to work, any tips?

I'm just beginning with JavaScript (and Ajax). My loginscript now works with Ajax - that is; the script is sending a request to the servers PHP script to check username and password, but I wonder what that script should return - and how to use that response. Either XML or pure text: The response is now "false" if the user couldn't log in for some reason, and the users ID and real name if the login went well...
But then the problem: if login IS ok - so that the users ID and real name is returned from the serverscript - I would like to store those variables in a session variable ($_SESSION in PHP). How do I get those variables back to the client script from JavaScript?

I had written code which created a shopping cart into an array using
vbscript and then transferred the information into a session
variable. However what I didn't know was that deleting/manipulating
information in an array using vbscript was not that easy.
In doing some reading and research it seemed that js was more flexible
in this area. My questions:
1) if I want to store cart items/details in an array and session
variable do I need to use only js (and can not switch back and forth
from vbscript and js)
2) if I have an array 6x12 and want to delete all the items
associated with say arrayItem[1, 0...12] what is the proper coding to
delete...is it splice?
3) any good articles about js, arrays, and multidimensional arrays
for a beginner?

How to pass (well more like bridge) session information to the client side from server side.
Right now, what I'm basically doing is echoing the userID and the username into a method in JavaScript tag at the bottom of every page.
The reason why I am doing this is simply for AJAX-related interactivity.
This is an example of what the code looks like:
Code:
A) It requires JavaScript code to be pasted within the HTML document (its non-external).
B) It requires the code to be echoed in EVERY PAGE.
C) A PHP Script or Class must maintain the responsibility of printing the session values.
D) The variable data cannot be accessed from any imported javascript files prior to where it was printed.
Now, I'm wondering about using Cookies. This would benefit me since I don't have to inject any ugly javascript code into the HTML output. I can also remove the PHP script that echoes the values and the changes will be purely handled in PHP (cookies can be updated!).
The only issue that's stopping me is simply security. Since cookies can be edited very easily on the client side, then the data can be changed. But then again so can the JavaScript (using a tool like Grease Monkey).
Once again, I am aware to never ever to trust the client side data without any validation; therefore using some sort of hash checksum, the cookie data can be compared to its PHP equivalents.

I have a php page (target_market.php), with a form that has 34 checkboxes. I would like the be able to click the boxes and have JS post the 'checked' value to a php session varibale when a button is clicked. If the user navigates away from the page and returns, the pages needs to reload the checkbox session variables.
How do I post the 'checked' value as either YES or NO using JS to another page (target_session.php), so that i can add them to database at a later stage?, but also retrieve the session variables and update the check boxes should the user come back to the target_market.php page?

I am attempting a simple average calculation with javascript. I would like to have 6 boxes, 5 for the user to input a number in each, and the 6th box to display the average of the five. I have set up 2 functions to take the input, calc the total, then calculate the average. It seems to be taking the input, but on the rare occasions I get anything in the results box, it is NaN.
Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-W3CDTD XHTML 1.0 TransitionalEN" "[URL]">
<html xmlns="[URL]"><head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<title>Calculate Average</title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
/* <[CDATA[ */
Declare variables
var calcResult Result of numbers added together and deivided by 5.
function calcAvg() {
calcResult += document.numbers.box1.value;
calcResult += document.numbers.box2.value;
calcResult += document.numbers.box3.value;
calcResult += document.numbers.box4.value;
calcResult += document.numbers.box5.value;
return calcResult;
} function performCalc(calcResult) {
avgResult = calcResult / 5;
document.numbers.averageResult.value = avgResult;
} .....

I'm a newbie to javascript and I made this script
<script>
var num = parseInt(prompt("Enter the number of integers to follow"));
var sum = 0;
for (i = 0; i < num; i++){
sum += parseInt(prompt("Enter a number"));
}
if (isNaN(num)) {
alert("Invalid");
} else {
if (sum < 0) {
document.writeln("The sum is 0 and the average is 0");
} else {
document.writeln("The sum is " + sum + " and the average is " + sum/num);
}
}
</script>
The scenario : Create in javascript that will read a series of integers at the terminal. The first integer is special, as it indicates how many more integers will follow. Your javascript is to calculate the sum and average of the integers, excluding the first integer, and display these values to the screen. If the total is not greater than 0 then display "The sum is 0 and the average is 0". Did I write the script correctly? am I missing anything that a dumb person might do? for example the person might type in letters instead of numbers.

I've now got to form an average of snowfall inputs, taken from looped prompts, however I'm not allowed to use arrays or functions...Almost every example I see uses arrays, such as this one here:http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=4313Is it possible to not use arrays to form the average? Please describe how to do this in general terms, as was highlighted in that link ^^^ I want to learn, not copy, although one can be derived from the other...What I haveso far, assume all vars have been announced.
for (var d=1; d<=numofinputs; d=d+1)
{
input = prompt("Enter a data input" + d)
}

She's wanting an array that will store points awarded and then calculate the average. It will also then show the distribution of the allocated grades (that I'm not having trouble with - just pulling the averages from the array data).
This is my code so far:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-W3CDTD XHTML 1.0 TransitionalEN" "http:www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http:www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
[Code]....
I've tried different ways, most ending in the 'average' variable being undefined or when the button is pressed and the function 'ReturnAverage' called it doesn't do anything. I'm using Eclipse as my IDE to work on this and check syntax.

My task was to build a simple GPA calculator using select input and Javascript to average it all together and return it to the user with his name. So I started with my form which looks like this
<tr><td>
<form name="GPA"
<p> Test 1</p>
</td><td>
<select id="v1">
<option value="4">A</option>
<option value="3">B</option>
<option value="2">C</option>
<option value="1">D</option>
<option value="0">F</option>
</select>
</td></tr><tr><td>
Now to the best of my knowledge that looks correct, I made sure to use integers as the values so I could average them using this function
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function Average(v1,v2,v3){
return Average (v1+v2+v3) / 3;
}
-->
</script>

I've written a program which will prompt for a number of cities, Prompt for the name of the city, then prompt for the number of snowfall readings of that city, and then prompt for each of these individual snowfall readings of that city. From this, it adds up each of the individual snowfall readings of that city, and will calculate an average by dividing this figure [the total snowfall] by the total number of readings for that city. This average is used to then classify the city as "not snowy", "mild", or "blizzard". I'm happy to PM my code to anyone willing to help out, as I realise this is a complex structure to visualise perhaps, but I can't post it publicly.

I need a Javascript that can process two math formulas to convert Estimated Average Glucose to HbA1c and vice versa. The formulas are as follows:
(28.7 x A1C) - 46.7 = eAG
(46.7 + eAG) / 28.7 = A1c
It could be a two function javascript or two separate javascripts, I am not that particular as long as it does what I need it to do. The way I would like to see it work is you type the number you have into a field, and press a button to convert it. If it was a two function javascript you would have to select the conversion type you want do first.

I am having difficulty on maintaining session when using ajax.
I first load a page with a session genterated. But since AJAX is a
client side activity where I sent an AJAX request to an url without any session
info. Of course, the server will create a new session. Even though I
can write the session id into the first page where I made ajax calls, it is not a secure way...
How do people deal with this problem?
