I'm asking for help to find the sum of an array with elements that were pushed from a counter variable that had previously looped 10 times. I'm new to Javascript and was practicing for an assessment, and I've tried several different ways to do it and have only resulted with just a list of the elements within the numbers array.
var counter = 10;
var numbers = [];
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i ++) {
counter = [i + 73];
numbers.push(counter);
}
console.log(numbers);
function sum(arr) {
var s = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
s = s += arr[i];
}
return s;
}
console.log(sum([numbers]));
function getArraySum(a) {
var total = 0;
for (var i in a) {
total += a[i];
}
return total;
}
var numbers = getArraySum([numbers]);
console.log(numbers);you should push only the value of counter without the brackets and then make a reduce to have the sum of each number in the array
var counter = 10;
var numbers = [];
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
counter = i + 73;
numbers.push(counter);
}
console.log(numbers.reduce((a,b) => a+b));You had a couple of typos in the code:
counter = [i + 73];
You should just remove the brackets like:
counter = i + 73;
sum( [numbers] )
// ...
getArraySum( [numbers] );
You should remove the brackets, like this:
sum( numbers );
// ...
getArraySum( numbers );
I updated the code that you shared to fix the above-mentioned things:
var numbers = [];
// Loop 10 times and push each number to the numbers array
for (var i = 1; i <= 10; i ++) {
var sumNumbers = i + 73;
numbers.push(sumNumbers);
}
console.log(numbers);
function sum(arr) {
var total = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
total += arr[i];
}
return total;
}
// Call the function by passing it the variable numbers, holding an array
var result1 = sum(numbers);
console.log( result1 );
function getArraySum(a) {
var total = 0;
for (var i in a) {
total += a[i];
}
return total;
}
var result2 = getArraySum(numbers);
console.log(result2);
