DPS909 Project

[Processing.js] - Active project
~~[Fennec and @font-face]~~ - on hold

code blocks

Here is a list of code blocks I have written for the processing.js project

shorten()

Specification for shorten() in processing here.
Arrays in JS have no type the elements in them can contain any type and do not all have to match. Arrays are also passed by reference which means a reference to the object is passed in not the entire object. so my code creates a new array and then copies the passed in array first and then pops one element off the new array and the newary object is returned. This is built to accept a processing type of String, int, boolean, char, byte, and float.

 p.shorten = function( ary ) {
   var newary = new Array();
   // copy ary into newary
   for ( var i = 0; i < size; i++ ) {
       newary[ i ] = ary[ i ];
   }
   newary.pop();
   return newary;
 }

Example of this function and test is here. Known issues: This has not been tested with arrays of objects. I'm assuming it will copy object elements in an array by reference and not produce a proper deep copy. I plan to fix this by 0.2
