Hey there.
I need help with the Paragraph Stats program.
I got it this far but I don't understand how to count sentences, words in a sentence, or average words per sentence. I really need help
Here is my code so far:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Word Counter Sci-Fair 2010</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function CountWordLength(inText, outCount, outAverage)
{
var inTextArray = inText.value.split(" ");
var inTextWordLenArray = new Array(inTextArray.length);
var totalLetterCount = 0;
for(i = 0; i < inTextArray.length; i++)
{
inTextWordLenArray = inTextArray.length;
totalLetterCount += inTextArray.length;
}
outCount.value = inTextWordLenArray.join(" ");
outAverage.value = totalLetterCount / inTextArray.length;
}
function ClearForm(form)
{
form.inputText.value = "";
form.outputText.value = "";
form.lettersPerWord.value = "";
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="Counter" METHOD="post">
<TEXTAREA name="inputText" rows=5 cols=80 wrap=on></TEXTAREA>
<P><INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Count Word Lengths" name="CountButton" onClick="CountWordLength(this.form.inputText, this.form.outputText, this.form.lettersPerWord)">
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Clear Lists" name="ClearButton" onClick="ClearForm(this.form)"></P>
<TEXTAREA name="outputText" rows=5 cols=80 wrap=on readonly></TEXTAREA>
<P>Average number of letters per word: <INPUT TYPE="text" name="lettersPerWord" size=10 readonly></P>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
