I am trying to make a simple calculator which tells students their average university mark based on their grades.
JSFiddle
I'm trying to get the formula to do this:
Step 1: (Mark * Credit Point)
Step 2: Add these totals together
Step 3: Get this total and divide it by the number of user inputs.
Having trouble with steps 2 and 3.
Right now when calculate is clicked, it just appends the single answer of each row one after the other. I want to add these values then divide it by the number of inputs.(As the amount of subjects will vary between users)
Any help is really appreciated.
HTML:
<div>
<table class='table'>
<tr>
<th> Unit Code </th>
<th> Mark </th>
<th> Credit Point </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> <input type="text"></td>
<td> <input type="text" class='mark'> </td>
<td> <input type="text" class='creditPoint'> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> <input type="text"></td>
<td> <input type="text" class='mark'> </td>
<td> <input type="text" class='creditPoint'> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> <input type="text"></td>
<td> <input type="text" class='mark'></td>
<td> <input type="text" class='creditPoint'> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
$('#wam').click(function() {
$('.table tr').each(function() {
var mark = $(this).find('input.mark').val();
var cp = $(this).find('input.creditPoint').val();
var total = ((mark * cp));
// Find the total then divide by the number of entries
$('body').append(total);
});
});
You need to use a shared variable in the loop
$('#wam').click(function () {
var total = 0,
count = 0;
$('input.mark').each(function () {
var mark = this.value;
var cp = $(this).parent().next().find('input.creditPoint').val();
var t = mark * cp || 0;//if both the fields are not entered don't add them
if (t) {
//if the product is 0 then don't count the value
count++;
}
total += t;
});
$('#total').text(total);
$('#total2').text(count ? total / count : 0);//the ternary condition to prevent division by 0
});
