<!-- SLIDE: ARRAYS INTRO -->
<article class='slide slide-list'>
<h2>Arrays</h2>
<br />
<p>
<span class="keyword">Arrays</span> are similar to objects; they both hold a collection of values. However, arrays hold its values in a numerical index rather than labels.
</p>
<p>
Think of arrays as egg cartons. All the eggs are in one carton but each egg has its own slot.
</p>
<p>
<img src="assets/egg-carton.jpeg" alt="egg-carton" width="300" height="230" style="float:left;padding-right: 20px;" />
Just like variables and objects, declare an array with the keyword <code>var</code>.
</p>
<p class="centered"><strong><code>var eggspressions = <span class="assignment">[]</span>;</code></strong></p>
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
<div class="reminders single-line">
<p>Unlike objects, arrays are declared with square brackets <strong><code>[ ]</code></strong>.</p>
</div>
</article>
<!-- SLIDE: ARRAYS HOW-TO -->

<h2>Arrays How-to</h2>
<pre class='prettyprint'>
//declaring an empty array
var eggspressions = [];
</pre>
<p>Set values using a square bracket <code>[ ]</code> notation.</p>
<pre class='prettyprint'>
//assigning values
eggspressions[0] = "skeptical";
eggspressions[1] = "frazzled";
eggspressions[2] = "silly";
eggspressions[3] = "giggling";
</pre>
<p>
The numbers inside the square brackets <code>[ ]</code> are referred to as the
<br />
<strong>index</strong> number. Array indexes <strong>always</strong> start at <strong>zero</strong>.
</p>
<div class="reminders">
<p>
Arrays can be declared in different ways.
<br />
The above example can also be declared like this:
<br />
var eggspressions = ["skeptical","frazzled","silly", "giggling"];
<br /><br />

<h2>Arrays and Indexes</h2>
<p>
<span class="keyword">Index</span> numbers are used to <strong>assign</strong> values.
</p>
<p>
Index numbers are also used to <strong>access</strong> values.
</p>
<p>
To access the value of the second egg in the <code>eggspressions</code> array, use index 1 since it's the second item in the list.

eggspressions[1] = "frazzled";

document.write("The 2nd egg is '" + eggspressions[1] + "'." );
</script></textarea>

<!-- SLIDE: ARRAYS & PROPERTIES -->
<article class='slide slide-list'>
<h2>Arrays and Properties</h2>
<p>
Since <span class="keyword">Arrays</span> are also objects, there are many properties associated with the Array object.
</p>
<p>The <strong><code>length</code></strong> property is also associated with array objects.</p>
<p>
As mentioned previously, the <code>length</code> property returns the number of characters when associated with a <span class="keyword">string</span>. When used with an <span class="keyword">Array</span>, the <code>length</code> property returns the number of elements.
</p>
<textarea class='coder-editor coder-editor-full'>
<script>
// string variable
var name = "Christina";
document.write(name.length);
document.write("<br />");
// array
var eggspressions = [];
eggspressions[0] = "skeptical";
eggspressions[1] = "frazzled";
eggspressions[2] = "silly";
eggspressions[3] = "giggling";
//document.write(eggspressions.length);

<!-- SLIDE: ARRAYS - PHOTO SLIDER EXAMPLE -->
<article class='slide slide-list'>
<h2>Arrays & Length: Why?</h2>
<p>
It is common to use JavaScript to run through a list of values and apply some code to it. In order to do this, we need to know how many elements there are in total.
</p>
<p>
Let's look at this photo gallery from
<a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/multimedia/camera-club/your-best-photos-of-movement/article2355552/">theglobeandmail.com</a>
and figure out how length can be used here.
</p>
<p class="centered"><img src="assets/globe-mail.jpg" alt="globe-mail" /></p>
<span class="marker">*</span>
</article>
<!-- SLIDE: LENGTH-1 -->
<article class='slide slide-list'>
<h2>Arrays & Length and the 0 Index</h2>
<p>How do we access a particular value?</p>
<p>By using the index number.</p>
<p>
So how do we access the
<strong>last</strong>
value?
</p>
<pre class='prettyprint'>
var eggspressions = [];
eggspressions[0] = "skeptical";
eggspressions[1] = "frazzled";
eggspressions[2] = "silly";
eggspressions[3] = "giggling";
</pre>
<p>
To access the last index value, you can use
<strong><code>eggspressions[3]</code></strong>.
</p>
<p>BUT...</p>
<p>
You can also use
<strong><code>eggspressions[eggspressions.length-1]</code></strong>.
</p>

<h2>

<pre class='prettyprint'>
var eggspressions = [];
eggspressions[0] = "skeptical";
eggspressions[1] = "frazzled";
eggspressions[2] = "silly";
eggspressions[3] = "giggling";
</pre>
<p>Let's break it down.</p>
<p><strong>›</strong> <strong><code>eggspressions.length</code></strong> returns 4<br />
<strong>›</strong> index of last element is 3<br />
<strong>›</strong> <strong><code>eggspressions.length-1</code></strong> is the same as 4 - 1 and will return 3<br />
<strong>›</strong> <strong><code>eggspressions[3]</code></strong> returns the last value<br />
<strong>›</strong> <strong><code>eggspressions[eggspressions.length-1]</code></strong> is the same as <strong><code>eggspressions[3]</code></strong></p>
<p>Clear as mud?</p>
</article>
<!-- SLIDE: WHEN TO USE LENGTH-1 & DEMO -->
<article class='slide slide-list'>
<h2>How is this useful?</h2>
<p>
Since the index always begins at 0, the last index value is always <code>length-1</code>.
This is useful if you want to always access the last index, despite new additions, and apply some code to it.
</p>
<textarea class='coder-editor coder-editor-full'>
<script>
var eggspressions = [];
eggspressions[0] = "skeptical";
eggspressions[1] = "frazzled";
eggspressions[2] = "silly";
eggspressions[3] = "giggling";
document.write(eggspressions[3] + " is the last element in the array. <br />");

<!-- LOOPS INTRO -->
<article class='slide slide-list'>
<h2>Loopty-Loops</h2>
<br />
<p>
Why use loops? Because sometimes we need to <strong>execute repetitive code</strong> for a specified number of times or through a list of values.
</p>
<p>
Loops will execute the same code continuously, using conditional statements to determine when to begin and stop.
</p>
<p>It's like creating a playlist on your favorite music player.</p>
<p>
You create a list of songs, press play and then each song is played automatically in the set order of the playlist.
When it reaches the end of the playlist, it stops.
</p>
<p>
We will be discussing
<span class="keyword">while loops</span>
and
<span class="keyword">for loops</span>.
</p>
</article>
<!-- WHILE LOOP -->
<article class='slide slide-list'>
<h2>While Loop</h2>
<p>
The
<span class="keyword">while loop</span>
executes the code contained in curly braces <code>{ }</code>
<strong>while</strong>
the condition is true.
</p>
<p>
An index variable is required to keep track of its place in the loop.
</p>
<p>
The
<span class="keyword">while loop</span>
stops executing the code once the condition becomes false.
</p>
<p>
If you had 10 songs in your playlist, the player won't stop until it reaches the end of song 10.
</p>
<pre class='prettyprint'>
//declare index variable
var i = 0;
while ( i < playlist.length ) {
playCurrentSong();
i = i + 1; // adds 1 to the current index so it moves to the next song
}
</pre>
<div class="reminders">
<p>
If the condition is always true, the loop will run infinitely and will never exit the while loop.
This can cause your browser to crash!
</p>
</div>
</article>
<!-- WHILE LOOP - TEMP CONVERSION -->
<article class='slide slide-list'>
<h2>While Loop in Action!</h2>
<br />
<p>
Let's use the <span class="keyword">while loop</span> to output the mathematical formula for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit.
</p>
<p>(The formula is: Temperature = Temperature * 9 / 5 + 32)</p>
<p>
This next example uses a <span class="keyword">while loop</span> to output the results of the temperature formula into HTML table rows that are also added dynamically.
</p>
<p>
It will stop when we reach 30 degrees Celsius (or whatever number is declared in the condition).
</p>
<p>See next slide for the example.</p>
</article>
<!-- WHILE LOOP - TEMP CONVERSION CODE -->
<article class='slide slide-list'>
<h2>While Loop Temperature Conversion</h2>
<p>
Let's look at the temperature conversion table with and without JavaScript and compare the difference in the amount of repetitive code required to create a table like this manually.
</p>
<p>
Conversion table using a <a href="exercises/temperature.html">while loop</a>.
</p>
<p>
Conversion table <a href="exercises/temperature-nojs.html">without JavaScript</a>.
</p>
<p>
View source and compare the difference between the amount of code.

</div>
</article>
<!-- FOR LOOP -->
<article class='slide slide-list'>
<h2>For Loops</h2>
<p>
A <span class="keyword">for loop</span> also loops through the code a specified number of times until the condition is false.
</p>
<p>The index, conditional test and incrementer are all declared in one line. Basically, it's the <span class="keyword">while loop</span> condensed.</p>
<pre class='prettyprint'>
/* While Loop */
var i = 0; //index
while ( i < playlist.length ) { //condition
playCurrentSong();
i = i + 1; // incrementer
}
</pre>
<pre class='prettyprint'>
/* For Loop */
// index, condition, incrementer
for ( var i = 0; i < playlist.length; i++ ) {
playCurrentSong();
}
</pre>
<div class="reminders">
Incrementer (i++) and decrementer (i--) operators add or subtract one.<br />
i++ is the same as i = i + 1<br />
i-- is the same as i = i - 1
</div>
</article>
<!-- FOR LOOP and ARRAYS -->
<article class='slide slide-list'>
<h2>For Loops and Arrays</h2>
<p>
<span class="keyword">For loops</span> are useful when used it conjunction with <span class="keyword">arrays</span> because it can be used to execute specific actions while going through the list of values.
</p>
<p>
Back to our robot store. It wouldn't be much of a store if there was only one product!
We can create a list of different products with various prices by creating an array.
</p>
<pre class='prettyprint'>
var productPrices = [];
productPrices[0] = 17.99;
productPrices[1] = 25;
productPrices[2] = 13.99;
productPrices[3] = 9.99;
productPrices[4] = 24.99;
productPrices[5] = 8.99;
</pre>

<p>
As owner of Planet Robot, you decide to have a special members-only sale: 50% off all items with a secret password! (p.s. the password is "llc"!)
</p>
<p>
Sounds like a great deal for the customer but all you have is a static HTML page right now. Are you going to go through every single product, calculate the discounted price, and then update every entry manually? No, you're going to use loops and arrays!
