I just did this function in my program

I am wondering if i wrote it right?

such as the placements of my { and }

did i put them in the correct spots?

thanks

here is my code

[CODE]

function totalVotes(votes){ // script element that will calculate the array
var total = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < votes.length; i++);
{
total = total + votes[i];
}
return total;
[/CODE]

@rpg2009Nov 22.2010 — Not being funny, but did you read any of those links I posted for you on functions?

Your code.
[code=php]function totalVotes(votes){ // script element that will calculate the array
var total = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < votes.length; i++);
{
total = total + votes[i];
}
return total;
[/code]

Well for starters

[CODE]for (var i = 0; i < votes.length; i++);[/CODE]

Note the semi-colon at the end. You don't want this as your following block {....} will never be executed.

If you're going for a....

[CODE]blah blah(){
.....
.....
{[/CODE]

format then I'd say keep the rest of your code in the same format.

You're missing a closing brace at the end.

Are you using an editor like notepad++ ?

If you click on an opening brace or curly bracket { it will highlite in red where the closing one } is.

So it should be
[code=php]function totalVotes(votes){
var total = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < votes.length; i++){ // removed semicolon
total = total + votes[i];
} // note lines up with 'for'
return total;
} // added the closing brace. Note lines up with the 'function'[/code]
