add up numbers in array












0















I've been following this post but I cannot get my array to add up all numbers in my array.



I use this:



 var array_new = [$(".rightcell.emphasize").text().split('€')];


to give me this array:



array_new: ,102.80,192.60,22.16


then I do this:



var sum = array_new.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
console.log(sum); //gives me this 0,102.80,192.60,22.16


When all I want to do is add up the numbers, I get this result 0,102.80,192.60,22.16. Can anyone advise me?

  • You are creating an array within an array by putting square brackets around your assignment of array_new. Try this: var array_new = $(".rightcell.emphasize").text().split('€');

Since your array is composed of undefined and a bunch of strings you have to parse the values to get the numbers. The answer would be:






var data = [,'102.80','192.60','22.16'];

console.log(data.reduce((r,c) => r + parseFloat(c), 0))





However if you do not want to deal with the parsing in that function you can make sure that your array comes out as array of numbers like this:



Array.from([$(".rightcell.emphasize").text().split('€')], (x) => parseFloat(x || 0))


Which would get your array ready for summation and without the need to parse inside the Array.reduce. So it would be something like this:






var strings = [,'102.80','192.60','22.16'];
var numbers = Array.from(strings, (x) => parseFloat(x || 0))

console.log(numbers.reduce((r,c) => r + c, 0))





But in your case it would be shorter since you would do the first 2 lines as one as shown in the 2nd code snippet.

Your elements in the array are treated as strings, therefore the + in your reduce function concatenates the array elements into another string. Try to use parseFloat() to treat them as numbers:



var sum = array_new.reduce((a, b) => a + parseFloat(b), 0);


EDIT: Thanks to charlietfl who mentioned, that parseFloat(a) is redundant, fixed it.



EDIT: (since you already deleted your comment, here would be the solution for your problem): in your case this solution won't work, because one of your array elements is "" (an empty string) which can't be treated as a number, so you could map your array values before you try to add them up:



array_new.map(a => (a == "") ? "0" : a);

That's because your original array is a string array.



Use parseFloat to create numbers from the strings.



var strArr = ['102.80','192.60','22.16'];
var sum = strArr.reduce((a,b) => a + parseFloat(b),0); // 317.56

in javascript, you can concat numbers by + or strings as well .
I will give you an example :



var x = "2" + "1"; // x = 21
var x = 2 + 1 ; // x = 3


You can look to this.



You should convert your array to integers (parseInt) or floats(parseFloat)
in this function array_new.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
It will be something like



array_new.reduce((a, b) => a + parseInt(b), 0);//or
array_new.reduce((a, b) => a + parseFloat(b), 0);

      0














      in javascript, you can concat numbers by + or strings as well .
      I will give you an example :



      var x = "2" + "1"; // x = 21
      var x = 2 + 1 ; // x = 3


      You can look to this.



      You should convert your array to integers (parseInt) or floats(parseFloat)
      in this function array_new.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
      It will be something like



      array_new.reduce((a, b) => a + parseInt(b), 0);//or
      array_new.reduce((a, b) => a + parseFloat(b), 0);
