I need a some help with some code I've assembled from different websites.
I want to create an array of 3 random numbers between lets say 1 & 10 but with the exception or the exclusion of lets say 6.
My limited knowledge of functions, their parameters and loops prevent me for coming up with a solution, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here's what I've got so far:
Code:var myNumArray = create_unique_random_array(3,10,5); function create_unique_random_array(num_elements,max,current_pic) { var temp, nums = new Array; for (var element=0; element<num_elements; element++) { //IMPORTANT: DON'T FORGET THE SEMI-COLON AT THE END while((temp=number_found(randomizeMe(this,{maxNumber:max, exempt:current_pic),nums))==-1); nums[element] = temp; } return (nums); } function number_found (random,number_array) { for (var element=0; element<number_array.length; element++) { if (random==number_array[element] ) { return (-1); } } return (random); } function randomizeMe(me, options){ var options = options || {}; // setup the options var imExempt = options.exempt || null; // capture the exempt numbers var maxNum = options.maxNumber || 0; // capture the maximum number to randomize var rand_no = Math.floor(Math.random()*maxNum); // run the random numbers if(imExempt != null){ // check to see if there are any exempt numbers imExempt = imExempt.toString(); // turn the exemptions into a string for(i=0; i <= maxNum; i++){ // loop throught the set number if(imExempt.search(rand_no) != -1){ // check for exemptnumbers return randomizeMe(me, {exempt: imExempt, maxNumber:maxNum}); // start over } } } return rand_no;// return the new random number } document.write(myNumArray);
