code blocks

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

shorten()

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 original array and the newary is returned. This is build 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.
