I created a script in PHP to find a palindrome, but when I try to do the same in JavaScript, then it is not working as expected. It's not just a matter of checking if the string that is reversed matches, but any order of the string has to be checked as well.
In other words, "mom" should return as true, "mmo" should return as true, "omm" should return as true, etc..., which is what the PHP script does, but the JS script below doesn't even work for the first iteration for the string "mom"
The following is the PHP script:
<?php
function is_palindrom($str) {
$str_array = str_split($str);
$count = array();
foreach ($str_array as $key) {
if(isset($count[$key])) {
$count[$key]++;
} else {
$count[$key] = 1;
}
}
$odd_counter = 0;
foreach ($count as $key => $val) {
if(($val % 2) == 1) {
$odd_counter++;
}
}
return $odd_counter <= 1;
}
echo is_palindrom('mom') ? "true" : "false";
The following is what I have tried in JS:
var count = [];
var strArr = [];
var oddCounter = 0;
var foreach_1 = function(item, index) {
console.log("count[index]: " + count[index]);
if (typeof count[index] !== "undefined") {
count[index]++;
} else {
count[index] = 1;
}
};
var foreach_2 = function(item, index) {
console.log("item: " + item + " item % 2: " + eval(item % 2));
if (eval(item % 2) == 1) {
oddCounter++;
}
console.log("oddCounter: " + oddCounter);
return oddCounter <= 1;
};
var isPalindrom = function(str) {
strArr = str.split("");
console.log(strArr);
strArr.forEach(foreach_1);
console.log(count);
count.forEach(foreach_2);
};
I believe it is failing where I try to replicate isset in javascript, with the following code:
if (typeof count[index] !== "undefined") {
As a result, I have tried to write my own isset function, but still the same result, it is not working:
var isset = function(obj) {
if (typeof obj === "undefined" || obj === null) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
};
With the following function being called:
if (isset(count[index])) {
count[index]++;
} else {
count[index] = 1;
}
As usual, any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance
BTW, it's killing me that I cannot remember the word for several revisions or iterations of something - I know that it starts with "re"
My attempt:
let p1 = `No 'x' in Nixon.`
let p2 = `Was it a car or a cat I saw?`
let p3 = `A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!`
function is_palindrome (str) {
const normalize = str => str.replace(/[.,:;`'"!?\/#$%\^&\*{}=\-_~()\s]/g, '').toLowerCase()
const reverse = str => [...str].reverse().join('')
return normalize(str) === reverse(normalize(str))
? true
: false
}
console.log(is_palindrome(p1))
console.log(is_palindrome(p2))
console.log(is_palindrome(p3))
First, thank you for all the comments.
Second, I ran a var_dump on the count array in the PHP file and this was the result:
array (size=2)
'm' => int 2
'o' => int 1
Which lead me to understand that count in js has to be an object for this work and I would have to create indexes of the object, depending on the string entered.
One thing lead to another and a complete re-write, but it works, along with a spell checker - see link at the bottom for complete code:
var count = {};
var strArr = [];
var oddCounter = 0;
var objKeys = [];
var splitString;
var reverseArray;
var joinArray;
var url = "test-spelling.php";
var someRes = "";
var mForN = function(obj, strArr) {
for (var y = 0; y < strArr.length; y++) {
// console.log("obj[strArr[" + y + "]]: " + obj[strArr[y]]);
if (isset(obj[strArr[y]])) {
obj[strArr[y]]++;
} else {
obj[strArr[y]] = 1;
}
}
return obj;
};
var mForN_2 = function(obj, objKeys) {
for (var z = 0; z < objKeys.length; z++) {
/* console.log(
"obj[objKeys[z]]: " +
obj[objKeys[z]] +
" obj[objKeys[z]] % 2: " +
eval(obj[objKeys[z]] % 2)
); */
if (eval(obj[objKeys[z]] % 2) == 1) {
oddCounter++;
}
// console.log("oddCounter: " + oddCounter);
}
return oddCounter <= 1;
};
var isset = function(obj) {
if (typeof obj === "undefined" || obj === null) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
};
var isPalindrom = function(str) {
// reverse original string
splitString = str.split("");
reverseArray = splitString.reverse();
joinArray = reverseArray.join("");
var checking = checkSpellingOfStr(str);
if (str == joinArray) {
strArr = str.split("");
// console.log("strArr: " + strArr);
objKeys = makeObjKeys(count, strArr);
// console.log("filled count before mForN: " + JSON.stringify(count));
// create array of keys in the count object
objKeys = Object.keys(count);
// console.log("objKeys: " + objKeys);
count = mForN(count, strArr);
// console.log("count after mForN: " + JSON.stringify(count));
return mForN_2(count, objKeys);
} else {
return 0;
}
};
var makeObjKeys = function(obj, arr) {
for (var x = 0; x < arr.length; x++) {
obj[arr[x]] = null;
}
return obj;
};
var checkSpellingOfStr = function(someStr) {
var formData = {
someWord: someStr
};
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: url,
data: formData,
success: function(result) {
if (!$.trim(result)) {
} else {
console.log(result);
$("#checkSpelling").html(result);
}
}
});
};
Start everything with the following call:
isPalindrom("mom") ? demoP.innerHTML = "is pal" : demoP.innerHTML = "is not pal";
In my example, I have a form and I listen for a button click as follows:
var palindromeTxt = document.getElementById("palindromeTxt").value;
var btn = document.getElementById("button");
btn.addEventListener("click", function (event) {
isPalindrom(palindromeTxt) ? demoP.innerHTML = "is pal" : demoP.innerHTML = "is not pal";
});
The following is the php for spell check:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
if(!empty($_REQUEST['someWord']))
{
$someWord = $_REQUEST['someWord'];
}
$pspell_link = pspell_new("en");
if (pspell_check($pspell_link, $someWord)) {
echo trim($someWord) . " is a recognized word in the English language";
} else {
echo "Your word is either misspelled or that is not a recognized word";
}
You will need pspell installed on your server, as well as adding extension=pspell.so to your php.ini
This is what I did, to get it running locally on my mac:
cd /Users/username/Downloads/php-5.6.2/ext/pspell
/usr/local/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/php5-5.6.2-20141102-094039/bin/php-config --with-pspell=/opt/local/
make
cp ./modules/* /usr/local/php5-5.6.2-20141102-094039/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226
sudo apachectl restart
check your phpinfo file and you should see the following:
pspell
PSpell Support enabled

I am trying to convert the XML to JSON.Here am facing challenge my xml have #attributes name as "value" in all tag. while convert into xml to JSON i am using the below code.
var xml = "<Message><id value="123"></id><type value="Test"></type></Message>"
var json = XMLtoJSON(xml, ["type", "space", "xmlns", "html"]);
var result = JSON.stringify(json)
function XMLtoJSON(xml, ignored) {
var r, children = xml.*, attributes = xml.#*, length = children.length();
if(length == 0) {
r = xml.toString();
} else if(length == 1) {
var text = xml.text().toString();
if(text) {
r = text;
}
}
if(r == undefined) {
r = {};
for each (var child in children) {
var name = child.localName();
var json = XMLtoJSON(child, ignored);
var value = r[name];
if(value) {
if(value.length) {
value.push(json);
} else {
r[name] = [value, json]
}
} else {
r[name] = json;
}
}
}
if(attributes.length()) {
var a = {}, c = 0;
for each (var attribute in attributes) {
var name = attribute.localName();
if(ignored && ignored.indexOf(name) == -1) {
a["_" + name] = attribute.toString();
c ++;
}
}
if(c) {
if(r) a._ = r;
return a;
}
}
return r;
}
Input XML :
<Message><id value="123"></id><type value="Test"></type></Message>
Actual Output:
{"id":{"_value":"123"},"type":{"_value":"Test"}}
Expected Output:
{"id":"123","type":"Test"}
Guide me where am missing the part to get the expected output.
Regards,
nkn1189
do you think if you do this way will work for you?
put your actual output from that parser to this function:
function convertToExpectedOutput(obj){
var result = {}
for (var i in obj){
if (i == "_value")
return obj[i];
else
result[i] = convertToExpectedOutput(obj[i])
}
return result;
}
convertToExpectedOutput(actualOutput)
So, for your array, hange the convertToExpectedOutput to this way and it will give the expected result:
function convertToExpectedOutput(obj){
var result = {}
for (var i in obj){
if (i == "_value")
return obj[i];
else
if (Array.isArray(obj[i])){
result[i] = [];
arr = obj[i]
for (var j in arr)
result[i].push(convertToExpectedOutput(arr[j]))
}
else
result[i] = convertToExpectedOutput(obj[i])
}
return result;
}
Hi I am working with angular's ng-grid to display about 1000 rows of data. Users are allowed to view the data in the actual table 10, 20, or 100 rows at a time..but regardless of how much data they are viewing at a time, I want them to be able to download a CSV of all 1000 rows.
Is there a way to do this with the current plugin? I've been struggling for a while now since the plug in always goes to the actual ng-grid for the data to create a CSV from.
ng-grid plug in:
ngGridCsvExportPlugin = function(opts) {
var self = this;
self.grid = null;
self.scope = null;
self.init = function(scope, grid, services) {
self.grid = grid;
self.scope = scope;
function showDs() {
var keys = [];
for (var f in grid.config.columnDefs) { if (grid.config.columnDefs[f].field) { keys.push(grid.config.columnDefs[f].field); }}
var csvData = '';
function csvStringify(str) {
if (str == null) return ''; // we want to catch anything null-ish, hence just == not ===
if (typeof(str) === 'number') return '' + str;
if (typeof(str) === 'boolean') return (str ? 'TRUE' : 'FALSE') ;
if (typeof(str) === 'string') return str.replace(/"/g,'""');
return JSON.stringify(str).replace(/"/g,'""');
}
function swapLastCommaForNewline(str) {
var newStr = str.substr(0,str.length - 1);
return newStr + "\n";
}
for (var k in keys) {
csvData += '"' + csvStringify(keys[k]) + '",';
}
csvData = swapLastCommaForNewline(csvData);
var gridData = grid.data;
for (var gridRow in gridData) {
for ( k in keys) {
var curCellRaw;
if (opts != null && opts.columnOverrides != null && opts.columnOverrides[keys[k]] != null) {
curCellRaw = opts.columnOverrides[keys[k]](gridData[gridRow][keys[k]]);
} else {
curCellRaw = gridData[gridRow][keys[k]];
}
csvData += '"' + csvStringify(curCellRaw) + '",';
}
csvData = swapLastCommaForNewline(csvData);
}
var fp = grid.$root.find(".ngFooterPanel");
var csvDataLinkPrevious = grid.$root.find('.ngFooterPanel .csv-data-link-span');
if (csvDataLinkPrevious != null) {csvDataLinkPrevious.remove() ; }
var link = "data:text/csv;charset=UTF-8," + encodeURIComponent(csvData);
var csvDataLinkHtml = "<span class=\"csv-data-link-span\">";
csvDataLinkHtml += "<br><a class=\"btn hidden btn-primary exportTable2CSV\" href=" + link + " download=\"Export.csv\">CSV Export</a></br></span>" ;
fp.append(csvDataLinkHtml);
scope.$emit("exportTable2CSVLinkReady", link);
}
setTimeout(showDs, 0);
scope.catHashKeys = function() {
showDs();
hash = '';
for (idx in scope.renderedRows) { hash += scope.renderedRows[idx].$$hashKey; }
return hash;
};
scope.$watch('catHashKeys()', showDs);
};
};
You have all the data, maybe you can use ng-csv to export csv file.
Here is example. sfiddle
html:
<h2>Export {{sample}}</h2>
<div>
<button type="button" ng-csv="getArray" filename="test.csv">Export</button>
</div>
javascript :
angular.module('csv', ['ngCsv']);
function Main($scope) {
$scope.sample = "Sample";
$scope.getArray = [{a: 1, b:2}, {a:3, b:4}];
}
As per your explanation it is not clear what is undefined...
have you tried accessing data through scope not grid?
As you might have observed that there is no such hook/function which will export all data at once, so i suggest to make user change page selection to display all records only after that enable CSV export option?
EDIT
The lesson, learned with the help of #Alex, is that you should never put function declarations in block scope. Not that I intended to do this, but if you slip up, it can cause big problems.
I have a script file that seems to be getting compressed via Google Closure incorrectly. When I run my app with the original code, all works fine. But when I try to compress it with Google Closure, some errors get introduced.
I am NOT using the advanced option; I'm using the basic, default mode
Obviously I can't expect anyone to debug the compressed file, but I'm hoping someone can look at the uncompressed code and let me know if I'm somehow doing something insanely stupid that would trick Closure.
Some notes on the minified code:
Closure is inlining BEFramework.prototype.hstreamLoad and BEFramework.prototype.hstreamEvalJson, and seems to be utterly removing the helper functions getDeleteValue, getValueToDisplay, getDisplayForLabel and likely others.
Uncompressed file is below.
This code can manually be compiled by closure here, which should reproduce the symptoms described above.

When you use closure compiler you're giving up some control over your code. It will do all sorts of tricks, and potentially remove unused code.
It appears as though your functions are not removed, but are renamed.
For example, your call to getDeleteValue...
getDeleteValue(subprop, currentValue)
is now...
l(g,r)
Because getDeleteValue was not exported, Closure renamed it.
Working with Closure Compiler takes a bit of finesse and quite a bit of documentation scouring until you're familiar with how it works.
Well, there are too many errors to think of. First of all, I don't understand if you want static reference or instantiated values. You are not using jsDoc tags or anything like that. The Compiler does it's best work only with the corresponding jsDoc tag. You're logic is very weird and ill formulated. Prototype alternations, etc, all happening in an IIFE(immediately invoked function expression). Are your functions static? Are they constructors? Are we human or are we dancer?
an IIFE executes before the DOMContentLoaded event is fired by the browser. The most you can do is a jQuery IIFE equivalent $(function() {})(); which binds that to the DOMReady or DOMContentLoaded callback. You are defining inline functions inside blocks, which is not even in the ECMA Language.
While most script engines support Function Declarations within blocks it is not part of ECMAScript (see ECMA-262, clause 13 and 14). Worse implementations are inconsistent with each other and with future EcmaScript proposals. ECMAScript only allows for Function Declarations in the root statement list of a script or function. Instead use a variable initialized with a Function Expression to define a function within a block.
var myFunctionName = function (params) {};
You are also missing loads of semi-colons. Automatic semi-colon insertion on interpretation of your JS is not exactly flawless, so make a habit out of it.
Relying on implicit insertion can cause subtle, hard to debug problems. Don't do it. You're better than that.
There are a couple places where missing semicolons are particularly dangerous:
// 1.
MyClass.prototype.myMethod = function() {
return 42;
} // No semicolon here.
(function() {
// Some initialization code wrapped in a function to create a scope for locals.
})();
var x = {
'i': 1,
'j': 2
} // No semicolon here.
// 2. Trying to do one thing on Internet Explorer and another on Firefox.
// I know you'd never write code like this, but throw me a bone.
[normalVersion, ffVersion][isFF]();
var THINGS_TO_EAT = [apples, oysters, sprayOnCheese] // No semicolon here.
// 3. conditional execution a la bash
-1 == resultOfOperation() || die();
So what happens?
JavaScript error - first the function returning 42 is called with the second function as a parameter, then the number 42 is "called" resulting in an error.
You will most likely get a 'no such property in undefined' error at runtime as it tries to call x[ffVersion][isIE]().
die is called unless resultOfOperation() is NaN and THINGS_TO_EAT gets assigned the result of die().
Why?
JavaScript requires statements to end with a semicolon, except when it thinks it can safely infer their existence. In each of these examples, a function declaration or object or array literal is used inside a statement. The closing brackets are not enough to signal the end of the statement. Javascript never ends a statement if the next token is an infix or bracket operator.
This has really surprised people, so make sure your assignments end with semicolons.
This question already has answers here:
Is there an equivalent for var_dump (PHP) in Javascript?
(20 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I would like to see the structure of object in JavaScript (for debugging). Is there anything similar to var_dump in PHP?
Most modern browsers have a console in their developer tools, useful for this sort of debugging.
console.log(myvar);
Then you will get a nicely mapped out interface of the object/whatever in the console.
Check out the console documentation for more details.
Most common way:
console.log(object);
However I must mention JSON.stringify which is useful to dump variables in non-browser scripts:
console.log( JSON.stringify(object) );
The JSON.stringify function also supports built-in prettification as pointed out by Simon Zyx.
Example:
var obj = {x: 1, y: 2, z: 3};
console.log( JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2) ); // spacing level = 2
The above snippet will print:
{
"x": 1,
"y": 2,
"z": 3
}
On caniuse.com you can view the browsers that support natively the JSON.stringify function: http://caniuse.com/json
You can also use the Douglas Crockford library to add JSON.stringify support on old browsers: https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js
Docs for JSON.stringify: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify
I hope this helps :-)
I wrote this JS function dump() to work like PHP's var_dump().
To show the contents of the variable in an alert window: dump(variable)
To show the contents of the variable in the web page: dump(variable, 'body')
To just get a string of the variable: dump(variable, 'none')
/* repeatString() returns a string which has been repeated a set number of times */
function repeatString(str, num) {
out = '';
for (var i = 0; i < num; i++) {
out += str;
}
return out;
}
/*
dump() displays the contents of a variable like var_dump() does in PHP. dump() is
better than typeof, because it can distinguish between array, null and object.
Parameters:
v: The variable
howDisplay: "none", "body", "alert" (default)
recursionLevel: Number of times the function has recursed when entering nested
objects or arrays. Each level of recursion adds extra space to the
output to indicate level. Set to 0 by default.
Return Value:
A string of the variable's contents
Limitations:
Can't pass an undefined variable to dump().
dump() can't distinguish between int and float.
dump() can't tell the original variable type of a member variable of an object.
These limitations can't be fixed because these are *features* of JS. However, dump()
*/
function dump(v, howDisplay, recursionLevel) {
howDisplay = (typeof howDisplay === 'undefined') ? "alert" : howDisplay;
recursionLevel = (typeof recursionLevel !== 'number') ? 0 : recursionLevel;
var vType = typeof v;
var out = vType;
switch (vType) {
case "number":
/* there is absolutely no way in JS to distinguish 2 from 2.0
so 'number' is the best that you can do. The following doesn't work:
var er = /^[0-9]+$/;
if (!isNaN(v) && v % 1 === 0 && er.test(3.0)) {
out = 'int';
}
*/
break;
case "boolean":
out += ": " + v;
break;
case "string":
out += "(" + v.length + '): "' + v + '"';
break;
case "object":
//check if null
if (v === null) {
out = "null";
}
//If using jQuery: if ($.isArray(v))
//If using IE: if (isArray(v))
//this should work for all browsers according to the ECMAScript standard:
else if (Object.prototype.toString.call(v) === '[object Array]') {
out = 'array(' + v.length + '): {\n';
for (var i = 0; i < v.length; i++) {
out += repeatString(' ', recursionLevel) + " [" + i + "]: " +
dump(v[i], "none", recursionLevel + 1) + "\n";
}
out += repeatString(' ', recursionLevel) + "}";
}
else {
//if object
let sContents = "{\n";
let cnt = 0;
for (var member in v) {
//No way to know the original data type of member, since JS
//always converts it to a string and no other way to parse objects.
sContents += repeatString(' ', recursionLevel) + " " + member +
": " + dump(v[member], "none", recursionLevel + 1) + "\n";
cnt++;
}
sContents += repeatString(' ', recursionLevel) + "}";
out += "(" + cnt + "): " + sContents;
}
break;
default:
out = v;
break;
}
if (howDisplay == 'body') {
var pre = document.createElement('pre');
pre.innerHTML = out;
document.body.appendChild(pre);
}
else if (howDisplay == 'alert') {
alert(out);
}
return out;
}
The var_dump equivalent in JavaScript? Simply, there isn't one.
But, that doesn't mean you're left helpless. Like some have suggested, use Firebug (or equivalent in other browsers), but unlike what others suggested, don't use console.log when you have a (slightly) better tool console.dir:
console.dir(object)
Prints an interactive listing of all properties of the object. This
looks identical to the view that you would see in the DOM tab.
As others have already mentioned, the best way to debug your variables is to use a modern browser's developer console (e.g. Chrome Developer Tools, Firefox+Firebug, Opera Dragonfly (which now disappeared in the new Chromium-based (Blink) Opera, but as developers say, "Dragonfly is not dead though we cannot give you more information yet").
But in case you need another approach, there's a really useful site called
php.js:
http://phpjs.org/
which provides "JavaScript alternatives to PHP functions" - so you can use them the similar way as you would in PHP. I will copy-paste the appropriate functions to you here, BUT be aware that these codes can get updated on the original site in case some bugs are detected, so I suggest you visiting the phpjs.org site! (Btw. I'm NOT affiliated with the site, but I find it extremely useful.)

Firebug.
Then, in your javascript:
var blah = {something: 'hi', another: 'noway'};
console.debug("Here is blah: %o", blah);
Now you can look at the console, click on the statement and see what is inside blah
A nice simple solution for parsing a JSON Response to HTML.
var json_response = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
html_response += 'JSON Response:<br />';
jQuery.each(json_response, function(k, v) {
html_response += outputJSONReponse(k, v);
});
function outputJSONReponse(k, v) {
var html_response = k + ': ';
if(jQuery.isArray(v) || jQuery.isPlainObject(v)) {
jQuery.each(v, function(j, w) {
html_response += outputJSONReponse(j, w);
});
} else {
html_response += v + '<br />';
}
return html_response;
}
You could also try this function. I can't remember the original author, but all credits go to them.
Works like a charm - 100% the same as var_dump in PHP.
Check it out.
function dump(arr,level) {
var dumped_text = "";
if(!level) level = 0;
//The padding given at the beginning of the line.
var level_padding = "";
for(var j=0;j<level+1;j++) level_padding += " ";
if(typeof(arr) == 'object') { //Array/Hashes/Objects
for(var item in arr) {
var value = arr[item];
if(typeof(value) == 'object') { //If it is an array,
dumped_text += level_padding + "'" + item + "' ...\n";
dumped_text += dump(value,level+1);
} else {
dumped_text += level_padding + "'" + item + "' => \"" + value + "\"\n";
}
}
} else { //Stings/Chars/Numbers etc.
dumped_text = "===>"+arr+"<===("+typeof(arr)+")";
}
return dumped_text;
}
// Example:
var employees = [
{ id: '1', sex: 'm', city: 'Paris' },
{ id: '2', sex: 'f', city: 'London' },
{ id: '3', sex: 'f', city: 'New York' },
{ id: '4', sex: 'm', city: 'Moscow' },
{ id: '5', sex: 'm', city: 'Berlin' }
]
// Open dev console (F12) to see results:
console.log(dump(employees));
I put this forward to help anyone needing something readily practical for giving you a nice, prettified (indented) picture of a JS Node. None of the other solutions worked for me for a Node ("cyclical error" or whatever...). This walks you through the tree under the DOM Node (without using recursion) and gives you the depth, tagName (if applicable) and textContent (if applicable).
Any other details from the nodes you encounter as you walk the tree under the head node can be added as per your interest...
function printRNode( node ){
// make sort of human-readable picture of the node... a bit like PHP print_r
if( node === undefined || node === null ){
throwError( 'node was ' + typeof node );
}
let s = '';
// NB walkDOM could be made into a utility function which you could
// call with one or more callback functions as parameters...
function walkDOM( headNode ){
const stack = [ headNode ];
const depthCountDowns = [ 1 ];
while (stack.length > 0) {
const node = stack.pop();
const depth = depthCountDowns.length - 1;
// TODO non-text, non-BR nodes could show more details (attributes, properties, etc.)
const stringRep = node.nodeType === 3? 'TEXT: |' + node.nodeValue + '|' : 'tag: ' + node.tagName;
s += ' '.repeat( depth ) + stringRep + '\n';
const lastIndex = depthCountDowns.length - 1;
depthCountDowns[ lastIndex ] = depthCountDowns[ lastIndex ] - 1;
if( node.childNodes.length ){
depthCountDowns.push( node.childNodes.length );
stack.push( ... Array.from( node.childNodes ).reverse() );
}
while( depthCountDowns[ depthCountDowns.length - 1 ] === 0 ){
depthCountDowns.splice( -1 );
}
}
}
walkDOM( node );
return s;
}
