QC Javascript : for in

yanomano's picture

I'am learning Javascript with QC and wondering why this code return just one of the two properties of the Object "myObject" .

var result = new Object();
var myObject= { posX:2, posY:3 };
 
function (__string outputString) main ()
{
   result.outputString=enumeration(myObject);
   return result
}
 
function enumeration(a)
{
   var name;
   for(name in a){
      return name
   }
}

i'am doing a mistake ?

because the return name; will put the !last! value to the output. When the enumartion runs first, the value will posy, but last the value will posy.

see the comp bellow.

So with your change i can now list the 2 properties :

var result = new Object();
 
var myObject= { posX:2, posY:3 };
 
function (__string outputString) main ()
{
   result.outputString=enumeration(myObject);
   return result
}
 
function enumeration(a)
{
   var name = "";
   var current;
   for(current in a){
      name=name+""+current
   }
   return name
}

So here is my first loop ( i realize it's a very little step for the humanity ;) to list every property :

var result = new Object();
 
var myObject= { posX:2, posY:3, posZ:7, rotX:3, rotY:5, rotZ:0 };
 
function (__string outputString) main ()
{
   result.outputString=enumeration(myObject);
   return result
}
 
function enumeration(a)
{
   var result="";
   for( var everyProperties in a){
      result+=everyProperties+"\n";
   }
   return result
}

yanomano: I edited the formatting on your comment a bit so that it's easier to read. I hope you don't mind.

How can this assembly be utilized to display values? Looks very useful, but I don't know how to apply it.

I don't know if it is very useful, it was just a basic learning test to display properties of an object ;)
