Please advise,
What is this piece of code doing:
for (posArray = [], i = 0; i < this.length; posArray[i] = i++) {}
I though it might have been another way of coding:
for (i=0; i<this.length; i++) { posArray[i] = i;}
But what would be the point of that anyway ?
I have never seen a FOR loop like the above one until now.
Here is the complete slab of code that it comes from (see line 3):
Array.prototype.fullShuffle = function() { result = []; for (posArray = [], i =
0; i < this.length; posArray[i] = i++) {} for (last = this.length - 1; last >=
0; last--) { selected = this[last]; rand = random(posArray.length - 1);
lastPos = posArray.getPos(last); if (lastPos == null) {
result[posArray[rand]] = selected; posArray.splice(rand, 1); } else {
posArray.splice(lastPos, 1); result[posArray[rand]] = selected;
posArray.splice(rand, 1); posArray.push(last); } }
return result;}
Thanks,
Stephen._______________________________________________
