TypeError: Cannot find function 1.0.

Question

Hi,

I have a script and I'm almost done but I get this error and frankly I have no idea what is wrong here. I'm rather new to Javascript so I suspect I did something wrong in the syntax somewhere. Here is an extract from the script containing the offending line :

var gc = 0;
var seg;
var segCount = 0;
var groupCount = 0;
var groupLevel = 0;
var segments = new Array();
var sk = "";
for(gc = 0; gc <= groupLevel; gc++)
{
    if(gc >= groupDelimiters.length) break;
    if(seg.name() == groupDelimiters[gc])
    {
        //ok we start another group
        grKeys.startNewGroup(groupLevel, groupCriterionExtractors[groupLevel](segCount), groupCount);
        groupLevel = gc + 1;  //This line is flagged with the error in the title
        groupCount++;
    }
}

ideas, pointers, any help would be appreciated.

edit - I got screwed by the $%*& markup syntax from outer space. Here is the code as it should have appeared.

Answer 1

there’s a { missing in your code and the for() syntax is wrong.

for ([initialExpression]; [condition]; [incrementExpression])

ah, yes, your for() loop won’t execute anything as it is now.

Answer 2

This:

for(gc = 0; gc = groupDelimiters.length) break;
    if (seg.name() == groupDelimiters[gc])
    ...

Should probably be

for (gc = 0; gc < groupDelimiters.length; gc++) {
    if (seg.name() == groupDelimiters[gc])
    ...

Answer 3

It's hard to tell without more info but I would guess from the error message that the following code:

groupCriterionExtractors[groupLevel]

is yielding the value 1.0 which you are then trying to call with:

(segCount)

So it's like saying:

grKeys.startNewGroup(groupLevel, 1.0(segCount), groupCount);

There are several problems with the above code such as the for loop, post what you're trying to do and some test data and I can help more
