![]() ![]() In our example here, we have an arrayĬalled “numbers” which holds the numbers zero through six. The things it can do, it can be a little confusing at first, but let’s take It’sĬapable of adding, removing, and replacing values within an array. Jim: The JavaScript splice function on arrays is a very powerful tool. Large delays in between each running of the code. Updating every second because of what we’re outputting, but we can use thisĬode any time we want to repeat code over and over again with small, or And, now, if we update it, we can see ourĬode is now updating every 500 milliseconds. Now, it will update the message every 500 And, let’s change the time from 4000 milliseconds If we want to continually update, instead of using “setTimeout”, weĬan use “setInterval”. “SetTimeout” only executes it once after a singleĭelay. Now, sometimes we would want to have this update automatically after aĬertain amount of time. One, two, three, four, and, there it goes. Milliseconds before calling “update message”. Now, when we run this code, and “setTimeout” is called, it will wait 4000 There are 1000 milliseconds per second, so if we wanted toĭelay for, let’s say, four seconds, then we would use 4000 milliseconds. Then,Īs our second argument, we have the delay, and this is measured in Message” as a function value, not executing “update message” itself. We’re not going to put parenthesis after this because we’re passing “update And, this takes a function and how long to delayīefore running that function. Now, in order to make a trigger a few seconds afterwards, we use a specialįunction called “set Timeout”. By putting it in aįunction, we don’t execute it immediately, but, rather, we can execute it And, now, if we run our code, we’ll see it doesn’t runĪt all because we’ve surrounded it in a function. And, we’ll put the code inside, and we’ll So, in this case, I will call thisįunction “update message”. In order toĭo a timeout, what we’re going to do is take our original code and surround This to not happen on a page load immediately, like this, but rather, to Its inner HTML to “the time is” plus the current date. We’re simply grabbing the element with “get element by ID” and then setting ![]() Of message, which we replace, using JavaScript with the current time. So, in this example, I have our time displayed on a page using JavaScript. Instead, we need to use something called the timeout and an To wait the correct amount of time in JavaScript or else our pages won’t Jim: Sometimes, we need to wait a certain amount of time in our programsīefore we take an action, and sometimes we even want to repeat this waitingĪnd code execution over and over again. To simply insert values, set the second argument (the number of elements to remove) in your splice function to “0 This is done by simply adding the elements to insert into your function. You can also replace or insert values into your array with the splice function. The second argument is the number if indices to remove. The first argument in the splice function is the index you want to begin with. The splice function can be used to remove elements from an array. The splice method is used to manipulate arrays. In this Treehouse Quick Tip, Jim shows us how to use the JavaScript Splice Method. ![]()
