Question

I have an array done with values from some radio buttons, say myArray = ["1","40","35"];

every value has his counterparts, say for instance 1 = “men”, 2 = “women”, 40 = “red hairs”.

what’s the best method to build another array where every values gets his counterpart?

so something like that myBrandNewArray = ["men","red hairs", …];

I should store my couples into variables for some maintenance, like

var "1" = "men", "2" = "women", … ; 

but I don’t know if this is a good approach…

ps. even pointing me to some resources will be great. Thank you.

Answer 1

well, finally I did this:

having

var numericalArray = ["1","50","45", …]; 

and

var couples = { "50" : "homme",     
            "1" : "femme",
            "85" : "court",     
        …
                };

I can call this and get a new array with coupled values:

function assignValues(numericalArray) {

var verbalArray = [];

for (var i=0; i<numericalArray.length; i++) {

    var value = numericalArray[i];

    verbalArray.push(couples[value]);  // right, I can't check if the values exists

}

console.log('here my new array:', verbalArray);


}

thanks to have me pointed on use of an object.
