Question

I have been looking around for a while, and cant seem to find the answer for this. I do not know if it is possible, but am just curious.

Suppose I have a simple function:
function foo(name){alert(name);}

Also suppose that I have to invoke this function several times with several different names:

foo("bar"); foo("blahh"); foo("myName"); foo("yourName");

Is there a shorthand for this?

For Example:foo("bar":"blahh":"myName":"yourName");

This example is trivial, but in practice that principal could be very useful. If there is some kind of jQuery solution I am open to that as well.

Answer 1

As a generalization of other answers:

Function.prototype.sequence = function(vals) {
   for (var i = 0; i < vals.length; ++i) this(vals[i]);
}

this will add the sequence method to all functions. So you can use it with any function:

function foo() {....}

foo.sequence(["bar","blah","myName","yourName"]);
