Insert new array and summing the results of the new array

Question

I have a problem in my script. I tried to add value in the array if the same input with the list that I have, it will generate value array[score] 100 and if they included the same value then the [score] will increase.

var animal = ["duck", "cat", "dog", "bird", "frog", "horse"];
var list = "";
var score = [];

for (i = 0; i < animal.length; i++) {
    list += animal[i] + ", ";
}
document.getElementById("data").innerHTML = list;

var $data = $("#target");
$data.val('');
$('#add').click(function() {
    if (this.value == animal){
  	    score.push(100);
		this.value('');
    };
});

list : <label id="data"></label>
<br/>

<input id="target" class="form-control" type="text" value="">
<br/>
<input id="submit" class="form-control" type="button" value="add">
<br/>

score : <label id="count"></label>

yes @ifvictr, so if the string is equal to the array list then it will be true and generate value score. — irwan dwiyanto

Have created this fiddle based on your code, with these modifications:

If the text entered in the input box matches an animal in the animal array, the score is increased by 100.
The score is displayed in <label id="count"></label>
The input box is cleared if the score is updated.

Is this what you wanted to achieve?

very helpful answers were very good, I thought to add value scores must be stored in the array and then summed?.

Dhananjay Over a year ago

No, you can just sum it up in a single variable like it's done in the fiddle code, no need to store it in an array.

irwan dwiyanto Over a year ago

but whether it could if the score was created a new array with a variable ?

Dhananjay Over a year ago

Just for summing, a single variable is all you need. If you need to do things like track the score history for example, you can store each score hit in an array and then sum it up

whether you can give each instance with as add further later I will develop again?

For starters, you're event for your button is wrong, the id of the button is submit and not add, also you're comparing the value of you're button to an array, you should compare the text instead with the stuff in your array, and not the array itself.

means I have to compare the value of the array with new input text me the results when clicked ?

Yes, also since you've started learning jquery, I suggest that do not mix pure javascript with jquery. For instance, you are setting a value of an html through javascript. You should try to be consistent as much as possible.

Thank you for suggesting little help for me, I think it's pure javascript and jquery alike turned out differently .
