i'm trying to do something akin to tables quantile function on a js array.

first of all, it would be nice if anyone could see if this makes sense, i'm a bit of a js newbie.

when i try to invoke the function from max, i get spinning beachball of death. i know js is slow, but stepping through an array can't be a problem can it?

another small annoyance is that i can't type the code in textwrangler and then load it into [js file], i get "error -43, opening file", so i need to cut and paste into the max js editor.

can anyone enlighten me on this? code below.

ps running max 4.6.2 on osx 10.4.8, pb G4 1.5Ghz and 1Gb ram

////isolated from larger piece, hope i didn't miss something

    for (var index = 0; index < 100; i++) { //get total, index max = array size

    for (var index = 0; index > 100; i++) { //compare index sum to total * rnd

        return index; //output data

//globals
inlets = 1;
outlets = 0;
autowatch = 1;

//create array
var connectArray = new Array(100);

//reset algorithm
function connectreset() {
i = 0;
while (i
	connectArray[i] = 56;
	i++;
	}
}

ah damn, changed "all" the 'i' for 'index', or so i thought.

so is this the equivalent of the fquantile function in table?

yeah sorry about posting here, i was reading another js post on here and not having had my coffee just clicked "new topic".

the js list is not that active though, maybe it would make sense to merge them.
