23maverick23 / cubes.js
Created July 27, 2013 15:55
JavaScript: Great example of a for loop in javascript. Note the "_len" variable which stores the list length rather than calling .length on each pass through the loop.
cubes = (function() {
var _i, _len, _results;
_results = [];
for (_i = 0, _len = list.length; _i < _len; _i++) {
num = list[_i];
_results.push(math.cube(num));
}
return _results;
})();
