I'm new to Javascript and need a bit of help with program on a college course to replace all the spaces in a string with the string "spaces".

I've used the following code but I just can't get it to work:

<html>
<body>
<script type ="text/javascript">
// Program to replace any spaces in a string of text with the word "spaces".
var str = "Visit Micro soft!";

var result = "";

For (var index = 0; index < str.length ; index = index + 1)
{ 
    if (str.charAt(index)= " ")
    {
        result = result + "space";

    }
    else
    { 
        result = result + 开发者_开发知识库(str.charAt(index));

    }

}   

document.write(" The answer is " + result );
</script>
</body>
</html>


For 

isn't capitalized:

for

and

str.charAt(index)= " "

needs to be:

str.charAt(index) == " "

JavaScript Comparison Operators

for loops


As others have mentioned there are a few obvious errors in your code:

  1. The control flow keyword for must be all lower-case.
  2. The assignment operator = is different than the comparison operators == and ===.

If you are allowed to use library functions then this problem looks like a good fit for the JavaScript String.replace(regex,str) function.


Another option would be to skip the for cycle altogether and use a regular expression:

"Visit Micro soft!".replace(/(\s)/g, '');


Try this:

str.replace(/(\s)/g, "spaces")

Or take a look at this previous answer to a similar question: Fastest method to replace all instances of a character in a string

Hope this help


You should use the string replace method. Inconvenienty, there is no replaceAll, but you can replace all anyways using a loop.

Example of replace:

var word = "Hello"
word = word.replace('e', 'r')
alert(word) //word = "Hrllo"

The second tool that will be useful to you is indexOf, which tells you where a string occurs in a string. It returns -1 if the string does not appear.

Example:

var sentence = "StackOverflow is helpful"
alert(sentence.indexOf(' ')) //alerts 13
alert(sentence.indexOf('z')) //alerts -1
0
