TypeError: Cannot read property '#' of undefined In simple JavaScript Game -

-

i'm making small battleship game friend of mine. thought practice learned. have 2 dimensional array 10x10 filled zeros. change zeros ones in places our ships go. made function place 1x5 ship down. function prompts user 2 coordinates , assigns variables outside of function. gets coordinates of start point , asks direction player wants rest wrest of ship go. if there no obstacles ship should placed. if there function should restart. thing error. # replaced number in prompt asking vertical coordinate position.

here error. typeerror: cannot read property '#' of undefined in battleship game

here function

function firstship(){     window.alert("we placing 1 5 length ship.  take note playing on 10 10 board.");     userx = parseint(prompt("horizontal coordinate position first unit of ship")-1);     usery = parseint(prompt("vertical coordinate position first unit of ship")-1);     direction = prompt("now choose direction want rest of ship face.  may   use words up, down left, or right.").tolowercase();       //making sure ship fit , nothing there!     if ((userx+4)>9 && direction=== "right"){      window.alert("you close right edge of board that. restarting...");      firstship();     }     else if ((userx-4)<0 && direction=== "left"){      window.alert("you close left edge of board that. restarting...");      firstship();     }     else if ((usery+4)>9 && direction=== "down"){      window.alert("you close bottom edge of board that. restarting...");      firstship();     }     else if ((usery-4)<0 && direction=== "up"){      window.alert("you close top edge of board that. restarting...");      firstship();     }     else if (user[userx][usery] === 1) {         window.alert("coordinate used. please try again");         firstship();     }       else if (user[userx][usery] === null || user[userx][usery] === ""){         window.alert("that coordinate isn't on board. restarting...");         firstship();     }      else if(direction !=="up" || direction !=="down" || direction !=="left" || direction !=="right") {         for(i=1; i<5; i++){             if(user[userx+i][usery] === 1 && direction=== "right"){                 window.alert("can't place ship in direction, ship in way.");                 isthere=true;             }             if(user[userx-i][usery] === 1 && direction=== "left"){                 window.alert("can't place ship in direction, ship in way.");                 isthere=true;             }             if(user[userx][usery+i] === 1 && direction=== "down"){                 window.alert("can't place ship in direction, ship in way.");                 isthere=true;             }             if(user[userx][usery-i] === 1 && direction=== "up"){                 window.alert("can't place ship in direction, ship in way.");                 isthere=true;             }             if(isthere===true){                 isthere = false;                 firstship();                  return false;             }             else{                 user[userx][usery] = 1;             }         }      }     else{         window.alert("sorry didn't type in direction wanted ship go correctly. restarting...");         firstship();     }       // building ship 1x5     for(i=1; i<4; i++){          if (direction==="up"){             user[userx][usery-i] =1;         }         else if (direction==="down"){             user[userx][usery+i] =1;         }         else if (direction==="left"){             user[userx-i][usery] =1;         }         else if (direction==="right"){             user[userx][usery+i] =1;         }     } } firstship(); //here new cpu creation. there may way shorten if statements, other that, set

this happening because using negative array index.

if try code here: http://plnkr.co/edit/g4i1qay6cou18xtk6qzi?p=preview

and enter 1, 1, right answers questions, see error on line 28 of script.js:

if(user[userx-i][usery] === 1 && direction=== "left"){

the error is:

uncaught typeerror: cannot read property '0' of undefined

what happens userx = 0 , = 1, evaluating user[-1][0]. since user[-1] undefined, that's why you're seeing error.

plot - Remove Objects from Legend When You Have Also Used Fit, Matlab -

i've plotted data points , fitted exponential curve between them using 'fit' in matlab. problem fit-function got fitted line wanted plot, markers on top of regular markers. solved problem plotting wanted markers on top of unwanted couldn't seen. problem. when want show legends dots in there. how can remove markers legend without removing fitted line since both of them hidden inside fit-function? can stop 'fit' plotting unwanted markers? so, want remove blue dot called 'hoff' in picture below. you can leave out legend-entries manually leaving out handles of lines, dont want in legend. try this: %if plot something, want showing in legend, save handle: h_line = plot(x,y) %you dont want show line? dont anything, plot it: plot(mymarker) %then set legend-> can add text legend-entries %a cell-array containing strings want show up: legend([h_line another_line],{'text1' 'text2'}) with example (see comments) came solution: ...

java - Why does my date parsing return a weird date? -

-
here code using: string string = "08/07/2013".replace('/', '-'); date date = new simpledateformat("yyyy-mm-dd").parse(string); why date return: "wen jan 3 00:00:00 est 14"? not @ date format told use. edit: need format because database using requires format. the format use parse date string, not match it. using yyyy 08 . use following format: new simpledateformat("dd-mm-yyyy") and why @ replacing / - ? can build pattern original string only: string string = "08/07/2013" date date = new simpledateformat("dd/mm/yyyy").parse(string); and if want date string in yyyy-mm-dd format, can format date using dateformat#format(date) method: string formatteddate = new simpledateformat("yyyy-mm-dd").format(date); see also: change date format in java string simpledateformat java doc
