It gets chewed apart really fast by SMGs though so I haven't played Robocraft for the past few days.

I know I've kinda disappeared mid-game for a lot of my forum games. Haven't recieved hate mail yet...!

So um, I was lv32 yesterday (max Mk5 parts) and when I logged in today I suddenly became 68... what happened? @_@

Why is queuing up as a platoon so broken?

This reminds me of that screenshot someone posted a while ago with a stackoverflow question about addition in Javascript. Everyone was telling him to download some library for a function therein. The one dude who mentioned a + operator was downvoted to oblivion.

I think it was a joke, but it was pretty funny :D

I am pretty sure the issue with javascript isn't the dynamic typing but the weak typing. It has a ton of implicit casting, too. like array to string or int to string.

I'm not sure what the main question is, but I'll try answering the sub-questions.

Now, what I think is happening based on what you wrote and what I've been trying to figure out, is that the "test" array will never match the "myName" variable because one is a string and the other is an array. But in this case, instead of returning an empty array, shouldn't it return "Your name wasn't found!" because hits should be 0?

Let's try it out in the Javascript console!

['T','E','S','T'] == ['T','E','S','T']
> false
It looks like two arrays won't match even if they have the 'same' content.

I don't see any "test"s in the code you posted though. Did you make sure to post the right version of your code?

Can you explain what "test = test.concat(text[j])" means and how it works?

Here's a documentation link. Googling for whatever usually turns up help. It says:

The concat() method returns a new array comprised of the array on which it is called joined with the array(s) and/or value(s) provided as arguments.

So... if you have

var A = ["T", "E"]
var B = ["S", "T"]
var C = A.concat(B)

C would be ["T", "E", "S", "T"]
A, B would be unaltered.

There are more examples on the linked page!

(as an aside, doing A + B gives you a string with the content "T,E,S,TT,E,S,T")

I'm assuming that "log.push" is the same as "console.log"?

I have never seen log.push before, so I'm assuming it's a CodeAcademy-only construct.
