passing a javascript array into a function sorts it?

[dansav]

I have no idea what’s going on here, but when I pass a javascript array into a function it sorts it??? I don’t want it sorted. What’s causing the output to be sorted?

function linreg(xarray,yarray) {
Debug.Log(xarray);
Debug.Log(yarray);
}

x=new Array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10);
y=new Array(10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1);

output =
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

Thanks,
Dan

That’s not what you actually get for output. Instead, it prints the values you have listed there when declaring the arrays. If you notice, your output has “11” there, which isn’t part of the array. I guess you have some more code that’s printing those values, because arrays aren’t sorted when they’re passed into a function.

As an aside, always type variables when creating functions. Also, the convention is to use uppercase for function names and lowercase for variable names, which makes code easier to understand.

function Linreg (xarray : Array, yarray : Array) {

Also, there’s rarely any reason to use the JS Array class. It’s slow and not type-safe. Use built-in arrays for best speed, or if you need dynamically-sized arrays, use generic List.
