Hello there am trying to save news tweets into three different array which are dynamically created.
am finding trouble when i want to get the text from each one of those array and make another request to twitter.
news_tweets("reuters","1652541",3);
function news_tweets(query, user_id,count) {
news_array = [];
$.getJSON("https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?include_entities=true&include_rts=false&user_id=" + user_id + "&count="+count+
"&callback=?",
function (data) {
for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
var user = data[i].user.name;
var date = data[i].created_at;
var profile_img = data[i].user.profile_image_url;
var text = data[i].text;
var url = (data[i].entities.urls.length > 0 ? data[i].entities.urls[0].url : '');
news_array[i] = [{user:user,date:date,profile_img:profile_img,text:text,url:url}];
}
for (var i = 0; i < news_array.length; i++) {
for (var x=0; x<i.length; x++){
console.log(news_array[i][x].user);
}
}
});
}
It doesn't show anything on the console.log.
thanks for the help!!!!!
First, make sure that your count is smaller than the data array's length, otherwise this could lead to some undefined values:
for (var i = 0; i < count && i < data.length; i++) …
Then, why are you creating all those one-element-arrays in the news_array? Just use only objects.
This would solve your actual issue: You are looping wrong over those inner arrays. The correct code would be
for (var i = 0; i < news_array.length; i++) {
for (var x = 0; x < news_array[i].length; x++){
console.log(news_array[i][x].user);
}
}
Also, you should indent your code properly. You have some odd braces around, which don't make the code readable.
The problem is the x<i.length in the for loop near the end. i is a number, so it doesn't have a length. You probably meant x < news_array[i].length.
You may try the following:
Use the push method to append elements / data in your array new_array
Use only 1 loop for to display the user value on console
So your code will be something like this:
news_tweets("reuters","1652541",3);
function news_tweets(query, user_id,count) {
news_array = [];
$.getJSON("https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?include_entities=true&include_rts=false&user_id=" + user_id + "&count="+count+
"&callback=?",
function (data) {
for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
var user = data[i].user.name;
var date = data[i].created_at;
var profile_img = data[i].user.profile_image_url;
var text = data[i].text;
var url = (data[i].entities.urls.length > 0 ? data[i].entities.urls[0].url : '');
// Pushing your elements in your array, 1 by 1
news_array.push({user:user,date:date,profile_img:profile_img,text:text,url:url});
}
// Here you only need 1 loop!
for (var i = 0; i < news_array.length; i++) {
console.log(news_array[i][x].user);
}
});
}
First thing is i would loop the first one till data.length rather than count because its an api and it "might" or "might not" return all the data. So it will be fool proof to loop till data.length
And your problem is with i.length
for (var i = 0; i < news_array.length; i++) {
console.log(news_array[i].user);
}
this should work. not sure why you had to loop through a loop.

The code below is not giving me the expected result.
It's to compare rows from two ranges and, although the second range's last row equals the one from the first range, it gives me false as the result.
var entryValuesCom = sheet.getRange(7, 1, LastRowSource, 9).getValues();
var dbDataCom = dbSheet.getRange(2, 1, dbSheet.getLastRow(), 9).getValues();
var entryVlArray = new Array();
var dbArray = new Array();
for (var r = 0; r < entryValuesCom.length; r++) {
if (entryValuesCom[r][0] != '' && entryValuesCom[r][5] != 'Daily Ledger Bal') {
entryVlArray.push(entryValuesCom[r]);
}
}
for (var a = 0; a < dbDataCom.length; a++) {
if (dbDataCom[a][1] != '' && dbDataCom[a][8] == bank) {
dbArray.push(dbDataCom[a]);
}
}
var duplicate = false;
loop1:
for (var x = 0; x < entryVlArray.length; x++) {
loop2:
for (var j = 0; j < dbArray.length; j++) {
if (JSON.stringify(entryVlArray) == JSON.stringify(dbArray)) {
duplicate = true;
break loop1;
}
}
}
Here's a snapshot of how the array is coming:
I've tried it using .join(), but still...
This is for thousands of rows, so is this going to do well performance wise?
I believe your goal as follows.
You want to compare the arrays of entryVlArray and dbArray using Google Apps Script.
When the duplicated rows are existing between entryVlArray and dbArray, you want to output duplicate = true.
Modification points:
When your script is modified, at if (JSON.stringify(entryVlArray) == JSON.stringify(dbArray)) {, all 2 dimensional arrays are compared. I think that this might be the reason of your issue. From your script, I think that it is required to compare each element in the 2 dimensional array.
When above points are reflected to your script, it becomes as follows.
Modified script:
From:
var duplicate = false;
loop1:
for (var x = 0; x < entryVlArray.length; x++) {
loop2:
for (var j = 0; j < dbArray.length; j++) {
if (JSON.stringify(entryVlArray) == JSON.stringify(dbArray)) {
duplicate = true;
break loop1;
}
}
}
To:
var duplicate = false;
for (var x = 0; x < entryVlArray.length; x++) {
for (var j = 0; j < dbArray.length; j++) {
if (JSON.stringify(entryVlArray[x]) == JSON.stringify(dbArray[j])) {
duplicate = true;
break;
}
}
}
console.log(duplicate)
By this modification, when each element (1 dimensional array) in the 2 dimensional array is the same, duplicate becomes true.
Note:
As other method, when an object for searching each row value is prepared, I think that the process cost might be able to be reduced a little. In this case, the script is as follows. Please modify as follows.
From:
var duplicate = false;
loop1:
for (var x = 0; x < entryVlArray.length; x++) {
loop2:
for (var j = 0; j < dbArray.length; j++) {
if (JSON.stringify(entryVlArray) == JSON.stringify(dbArray)) {
duplicate = true;
break loop1;
}
}
}
To:
var obj = entryVlArray.reduce((o, e) => Object.assign(o, {[JSON.stringify(e)]: true}), {});
var duplicate = dbArray.some(e => obj[JSON.stringify(e)]);
References:
reduce()
some()
Added:
About your following 2nd question,
AMAZING!!!! Would there be a way of capturing these duplicates in a pop up, using reduce() and some()?
When you want to retrieve the duplicated rows, how about the following script? In this case, I thought that filter() is useful instead of some().
Modified script:
var obj = entryVlArray.reduce((o, e) => Object.assign(o, {[JSON.stringify(e)]: true}), {});
// var duplicate = dbArray.some(e => obj[JSON.stringify(e)]);
var duplicatedRows = dbArray.filter(e => obj[JSON.stringify(e)]);
console.log(duplicatedRows)
In this modified script, you can see the duplicated rows at the log.
About a pop up you expected, if you want to open a dialog including the duplicated rows, how about adding the following script after the line of var duplicatedRows = dbArray.filter(e => obj[JSON.stringify(e)]);?
Browser.msgBox(JSON.stringify(duplicatedRows));
I am having troubles figuring out the for condition for a javascript learning course I am doing.
I am not getting normal errors because I am doing it in the course, but the error I am receiving in the course is this...
Oops, try again. Careful: your second 'for' loop should stop when it reaches its current point in the string + myName.length.
These are the instructions:
First, you'll want to set your second loop's iterator to start at the first one, so it picks up where that one left off. If your first loop starts with
for(var i = 0; // rest of loop setup
your second should be something like
for(var j = i; // rest of loop setup
Second, think hard about when your loop should stop. Check the Hint if you get stuck!
Finally, in the body of your loop, have your program use the .push() method of hits. Just like strings and arrays have a .length method, arrays have a .push() method that adds the thing between parentheses to the end of the array. For example,
newArray = [];
newArray.push('hello');
newArray[0]; // equals 'hello'
This is my code
var text = "Hello, my name is Becky. What is your name?\
I repeat, my name is Becky. Can't you figure out that my\
name is Becky. Becky!!!!";
var myName = "Becky";
var hits = [];
for (i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
if (text[i] === 'B') {
for (var j = i; i < myName.length; i++) {
hits.push();
}
}
}
I know the issue resides in this line:
for (var j = i; i < myName.length; i++) {
I just can't figure out exactly how I need to structure it.
UPDATE:
Final answer of question:
/*jshint multistr:true */
var text = "Hello, my name is Becky. What is your name?\
I repeat, my name is Becky. Can't you figure out that my\
name is Becky. Becky!!!!";
var myName = "Becky";
var hits = [];
for (i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
if (text[i] === 'B') {
for (var j = i; j < (i + myName.length); j++) {
hits.push(myName);
}
}
}
if (hits === 0) {
console.log("Your name wasn't found!");
} else {
console.log(hits);
}
I'll give you the solution because you can learn more from the direct solution than from banging your head on that one.
var text = "Hello, my name is Becky. What is your name?\
I repeat, my name is Becky. Can't you figure out that my\
name is Becky. Becky!!!!";
var myName = "Becky";
var hits = [];
for (i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
if (text[i] == 'B') {
var equal = true;
for (var j = 0; j < myName.length; j++) {
if (text[i + j] != myName[j]) {
equal = false;
break;
}
}
if(equal) hits.push(myName);
}
}
There may be other ways to reach this result. This is one of them.
Explaing what "push" does:
Arrays are lists of variables. You store a value in a variable like this:
var myNumber = 777;
var myName = "Nelson";
An array declaration looks like this:
var myNumbers = [];
then you put something inside of it, like this:
myNumbers.push(333);
myNumbers.push(555);
myNumbers.push(777);
then if you try: console.log(myNumbers), it will print: [333, 555, 777]
if you add another push:
myNumbers.push(999);
will add 999 to the list resulting in [333, 555, 777, 999]

Am not sure what you are trying to achieve,
Here is something may help
var text = "Hello, my name is Becky. What is your name?\
I repeat, my name is Becky. Can't you figure out that my\
name is Becky. Becky!!!!";
var myName = "Becky";
var hits = [];
for (i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
if (text[i] == 'B') {
var res = '';
for (var j = i; j < i+myName.length; j++) {
res = res+text[j];
}
if(res == myName)
{
hits.push(myName);
}
}
}
console.log(hits);
Here is demo
I am confused about how to iterate on multiple values.
for example : values.categories[0].num[0].entry[0].label;
Do I need to write three for loops in order to iterate through categories, num and entry.
Because categories[0] will always identify the 1st position, but am looking for generic categories[i].
Can you please help me out whether to write three for loops or better option is there to achieve.?
This is what I have tried:
var result = [];
for (var i = 0; i < categories.length; i++) {
var abc = categories[i].num;
for (var j = 0; j < abc.length; j++){
var def = num[i].entry;
}
for(var k = 0; k < def.length; k++){
var ghi = entry[i].label;
result.push(ghi)
console.log(result);
}
}
you can use the each function of jquery.
$.each(categories, function(ci, num) {
// This set the index of the array in ci and the value in num = categories[ci]
$.each(num, function(ni, entry) {
// etc ...
});
});
if you want it to stop the iteration you can return false inside the callback function.
There might be a very simple solution my problem but just not being able to find one so please help me to get to my solution in the simplest way...
The issue here is that I have data being displayed in a tabular form. Each row has 5 columns and in one of the columns it shows multiple values and so that's why I need to refer to a value by something like this row[1]['value1'], row[1]['value2'] & then row[2]['value1'], row[2]['value2'].
I declare the array
var parray = [[],[]];
I want to store the values in a loop something like this
for(counter = 0; counter < 10; counter ++){
parray[counter]['id'] += 1;
parray[counter]['isavailable'] += 0;
}
Later I want to loop through this and get the results:
for (var idx = 0; idx < parray.length; idx++) {
var pt = {};
pt.id = parray[schctr][idx].id;
pt.isavailable = parray[schctr][idx].isavailable;
}
Obviously iit's not working because Counter is a numeric key and 'id' is a string key ..my question how do I achieve this ??
Thanks for all the answers in advance.
JS has no concept of "associative arrays". You have arrays and objects (map). Arrays are objects though, and you can put keys, but it's not advisable.
You can start off with a blank array
var parray = [];
And "push" objects into it
for(counter = 0; counter < 10; counter++){
parray.push({
id : 1,
isAvailable : 0
});
}
Then you can read from them
for (var idx = 0; idx < parray.length; idx++) {
// Store the current item in a variable
var pt = parray[idx];
console.log(pt);
// read just the id
console.log(parray[idx].id);
}
Like I did here
What you want inside your array is just a plain object:
// just a regular array
var parray = [];
for(var counter = 0; counter < 10; counter++){
// create an object to store the values
var obj = {};
obj.id = counter;
obj.isavailable = 0;
// add the object to the array
parray.push(obj);
}
later:
for (var idx = 0; idx < parray.length; idx++) {
var pt = parray[idx];
// do something with pt
}
I have surfed the problem but couldn't get any possible solution ..
Let's say i have a var like this
var data = [
{
'a':10,
'b':20,
'c':30
},
{
'a':1,
'b':2,
'c':3
},
{
'a':100,
'b':200,
'c':300
}];
Now , i need a multidimensional array like
var values = [[10,1,100], //a
[20,2,200], //b
[30,3,300]]; //c
What i have tried is
var values = [];
for(var key in data[0])
{
values.push([]); // this creates a multidimesional array for each key
for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++)
{
// how to push data[i][key] in the multi dimensional array
}
}
Note : data.length and number of keys keeps changing and i just want to be done using push() without any extra variables. Even i don't want to use extra for loops
If you guys found any duplicate here , just put the link as comment without downvote
Try this:
var result = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var arr = new Array();
for(var key in data[i]) {
arr.push(data[i][key]);
}
result.push(arr);
}
also if you don't want the 'arr' variable just write directly to the result, but in my opinion code above is much more understandable:
for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
result.push(new Array());
for(var key in data[i]) {
result[i].push(data[i][key]);
}
}
Ok, based on your comment I have modified the the loop. Please check the solution and mark question as answered if it is what you need. Personally I don't understand why you prefer messy and hard to understand code instead of using additional variables, but that's totally different topic.
for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
for(var j = 0; j < Object.keys(data[0]).length; j++) {
result[j] = result[j] || new Array();
console.log('result[' + j + '][' + i + ']' + ' = ' + data[i][Object.keys(data[i])[j]])
result[j][i] = data[i][Object.keys(data[i])[j]];
}
}
