    Study Notes

    Advanced Web Programming - Chapter 9: Arrays, Numbers

    • Arrays: Used to handle lists of data.
    • Array Properties: Used for common data list tasks.
    • Numbers: Covers different numerical types (e.g., integers, decimals, complex, hexadecimal).
    • Math Object: Provides mathematical functions and constants.

    Arrays

    • Real-World Example: A grocery list is a real-world example of an array.
    • Array Values (or Elements): The items in the list that need to be purchased.
    • Array Literal Notation: Using brackets [] to create an array.

    Creating Arrays

    • Empty Arrays: Initialize an array with empty brackets []. Eg: var groceries = [];
    • Non-Empty Arrays: Create an array with values inside the brackets, separated by commas. Eg: var groceries = ["milk", "eggs", "frosted flakes"];

    Accessing Array Values

    • Index Values: Each item in an array has a numerical index value, starting from 0. Eg: groceries[0] (milk), groceries[1](eggs).
    • Index Value Specification: Access an element by using its index value inside square brackets. Example: groceries[1]

    Accessing Multiple Values

    • Iteration using for loop: The for loop can access all items in the array systematically.
    • Length Property: Use the length property of an array to determine its length and iterate across each element of the array up to element prior to the length of the array Example groceries.length

    Adding Items to Arrays

    • Push Method: Adds new items to the end of an array. Eg: groceries.push("bananas");
    • Unshift Method: Adds new items to the beginning of an array. Eg: groceries.unshift("yogurt");

    Removing Items from Arrays

    • Pop Method: Removes and returns the last item in an array. Eg: lastItem = groceries.pop();
    • Shift Method: Removes and returns the first item in an array. Eg: firstItem = groceries.shift();

    Merging Arrays

    • Concat Method: Combines two arrays into a new array, preserving the order. Eg. var goodAndBad = good.concat(bad);

    Numbers (JavaScript)

    • Variables using Numbers: Declare variables containing numbers. Examples: var stooges = 3; // integer var pi = 3.14159; // decimal var color= 0x000; // hex var massOfEarth = 5.9742e+24; // scientific notation

    Numbers - Operators

    • Mathematical Operators: The +, -, *, / for fundamental operations on numbers. % for remainder (modulus).
    • Parentheses for Order of Operations: Operations within parentheses are performed first.

    Incrementing and Decrementing

    • Incrementing: Increasing a number's value.
    • Decrementing: Decreasing a number's value.
    • Increment/Decrement Operators: ++i or i++ – increment operator and --i or i-- – decrement operator. Use the operator at the start or end of the variable to adjust the order in which the calculation is performed.

    Special Values

    • NaN: "Not a Number." Result of invalid numerical operation
    • Infinity/Infinity: Represent very large or small numbers respectfully. Return when you divide a number by zero.

    The Math Object

    • Functions: Provides various mathematical functions (e.g., sin, cos, tan, sqrt, pow).
    • Constants: Includes common mathematical constants (e.g., Math.PI, Math.E).

    Rounding Numbers

    • Rounding Functions: Math.round(), Math.ceil(), Math.floor().

    Trigonometric Functions

    • Radians: Trigonometric functions, sin, cos, tan use radians as the input measurement.
    • Convert Degrees to Radians: Convert to the appropriate unit before calculating trigonometric values.

    Powers and Square Roots

    • Math.pow(): Raise a number to a power. Eg. Math.pow(2, 4); (2 to the power of 4)
    • Math.exp(): Raise Euler's constant (e) to a power.
    • Math.sqrt(): Calculate the square root of a number.

    Absolute Value

    • Math.abs(): Return absolute value of a number.

    Random Numbers

    • Math.random(): Returns pseudo random values between 0 and 1.
