Hi,

I want to multiply two arrays, element by element:

[1,2,3] * [4,5,6] = [4,10,18]

I am new to JS, I just have no clue... This is the furthest I got:

Code:

var array1 = [1,2,3]

var array2 = [4,5,6]



function multiply() {

	var mult = array1.pop()*array2.pop()

	post("mult",mult)

	post()

}

So, every time I execute multiply it multiplies the next two elements of each array. But not all at once, creating a new array.

Thanks,

PS

@PSilvan,

JS is meant as a control language for web pages. Even if you managed to get code to work for something like that, nobody would ever understand it or be able to modify it. Better would be to use Python or some real programming language to multiply the two arrays and JS to display the result, that would at least be guaranteed to work and be maintainable.
