Question about loops

alkalsa · Jan 12, 2007

Hi, I want to have something like this:

function callme1() {
alert('somestuff');
}

function callme2() {
alert('somestuff');
}

function callme3() {
alert('somestuff');
}

function callme4() {
alert('somestuff');
}

etc.

except, it's going to be created in a loop, like

var x=0;
while (x<10) {

function callme[x]() {
alert('somestuff');
}

x++
}

So, out of that I would like to get 10 callme(1-10 or A-J) functions...
I guess I am lost which way to build this with the placement & parsing
of the variables. Could someone please help me with guidence?

function test34(){
// bla
}

call it with
test34()
or
self['test34']()
or in your case
self['test'+34]()

I have no idea why you want to do this - whatever the reason is, there
is certainly a better way.

But anyhow...

for (var i=0; i<10; i++){
window['callme' + i] = function() {
alert('somestuff');
}
}

callme0();
callme1();
callme2();
...
callme9();

In addition to the other suggestions, you could create an array
of functions. I suspect that you would be better off calling a
single function with different arguments, though. It might help
if you told us what you're really trying to do.

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var callme = [
function() { alert("alpha") },
function() { alert("beta") },
function() { alert("gamma") },
function() { alert("delta") }
];

for ( var i=0; i<callme.length; i++) {
callme();
}
</script>
done
</body>
</html>
