Hi everyone,

Im struggling with what steps to take even in my algorithm to solve my problem. Here is what I have done so far:

1. I have a text box (form) with the id "message"

2.Im then using this

document.getElementById ('message');

to store that value in the variable called "words"

3.I have then made a new variable straight after:

splitwords = words.split(" ") 

So the message: "Hello world my name is flow"

should now be stored like this

splitwords[0] = "Hello"

splitwords[1] = "world"

splitwords[3] = "my"

etc...

First of all am I even doing this correctly?

And if Im not someone help me with how I should tackle the problem is there is one so far.

So here is the actual problem:

I have an array of 10 words. I want to compare all of the splitwords with each word in the array so if thre is a match I can output the words that match. E.g:

If my array contains the words "hello" and splitword[x] contains the words "hello" then the output should be:

Match has been found: Hello

Any help is greatly appreciated,

If you want me to explain more clearly then please ask me to

Regards,

Flow

2 ways to check if you got the right words in your variables

easy and painful : put an alert function in

less easy and less painful : put in a text area and have your text output there

PS take note of the overflow you may have if you have 3 words in your string and you try splitwords[3] will return with an error.
