i have the variable "keycode" and i can console.log it outside the if{ } but can't inside of it.
what my code tries to do: it produces a 5 digit number called keyCode then it takes the "message" variable it takes the first letter of it finds out which order it has in the alphabet and adds the first number of the keycode of it and converts it back to a letter. and so on(second letter of message-second digit of keycode)
the problem: console.log won't tell what the first or second digit of the keycode is
what the console says:
match
keycode is69097
cMO1 is NaN
1stthingofkeycodeis unidentified
the code:
getKeyCode()
var keyCode; // the keycode used to cypher the message
var message = "hello";
var uMessageLength; // the length of the uncyphered message
var lNIO; // what number the variable "lLIO" has
var lLIO; //the letter that is going to get cyphered
var lTBC = 0 //which order of the letter in the alphabet the variable "lLIO" is going to get compared to
var lKIO
var cMO1 = 0
var cM = []
var abc = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z", ];
var cypheredletter = " "
var cypheredmessage = []

cypher(message)You are trying to get an indexed value from an int. Instead try converting the int to a string and then getting the indexed value. Here's a snippet of your code which help resolve your issue:
if (lLIO == abc[lTBC]) {
let keyCodeStr = keyCode.toString();
console.log("match")
console.log("1stthingofkeycodeis" + " " + keyCodeStr[0])
cMO1 = lTBC + keyCodeStr[lKIO]
}
