I'm trying to make my 2d matrix to have numbers which continue on the new row
var myMatrix = [];
var row = 5;
var colom = 3;
for (var i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
var toto = 1;
myMatrix[i] = [i];
for (var j = 0; j < colom; j++) {
myMatrix[i][j] = [i + j];
}
}
console.log(myMatrix);
I'm trying to make it print numbers like this:
123
456
789 and etc...
but without success:/
can someone help and also give a video or site with examples where i can learn more about that kind of stuff?
First, a look at what your code is doing:
const myMatrix = [];
const rows = 5;
const columns = 3;
for (var i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
myMatrix[i] = [i];
for (var j = 0; j < columns; j++) {
myMatrix[i][j] = [i+j];
}
}
console.log(myMatrix);
You have a typo in your row
/rows
variable name. Ignoring that though...
Your myMatrix[i]
line is creating an array at i
, which is then being set to an array with a value of i
. Just this creates a wonky mash-up , where each "row" gets an array with it's row number as the first value, something like this:
[[0], [1], [2], [3], [4]]
Your inner loop then adds a value to that array at the place and adds i+j
together, but puts that inside of an array, which isn't what you want, so you get something like this:
[
[[0], [1], [2]], // i = 0
[[1], [2], [3]], // i = 1
[[2], [3], [4]], // i = 2
// ... etc
]
Also note that you are replacing that first [i]
anyways, so don't set it like that, just make it an empty array []
.
What you want is something like this:
const myMatrix = [];
const rows = 5;
const columns = 3;
for (var i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
myMatrix[i] = [];
for (var j = 0; j < columns; j++) {
myMatrix[i][j] = (i*columns)+j;
}
}
console.log(myMatrix);
There were three changes to your code:
[i]
and []
. It doesn't hurt anything, but [i]
also doesn't make sense.i+j
part out of the array, you just want a value there.i
, multiply it by columns
so it doesn't reset every time: (i*columns)+j
This will give you a nice output, starting with 0
. If you want it start at 1
, just add one to your value:
const myMatrix = [];
const rows = 5;
const columns = 3;
for (var i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
myMatrix[i] = [];
for (var j = 0; j < columns; j++) {
myMatrix[i][j] = (i*columns)+j+1;
}
}
console.log(myMatrix);
