[MX]Duplicate Array Item Checker

1

hello :hair:

I’m wondering if someone could check my code below and let me know if they see any probs. I’ve basically made up a function that checks to see if any 2 or more items in an array are the same. If there are duplicate items the funtion is supposed to add 1 to a variable and push that variable into another array. That other array then shifts the numbers inside of it into another array on the tailend of the duplicate array items so they are unique. Heres what it looks like:

Heres my function:


Array.prototype.dupCount = function(countElement) {
	tempCount = 0;
		for (i=0; i<this.length; i++) {
			trace(this*);
			if (countElement == this*) {
				tempCount++;
				catCountAry.push(tempCount);
			}
		}
};

Heres the loop that calls the function:


		for (var elem in subCatsAry) {
			subCatsAry.dupCount(subCatsAry[elem]);
				if (catCountAry.length == 0) {
					subCatsAry[elem] += 1;
					catCountAry.shift()
				} else {
					for (i=0; i<=catCountAry.length; i++) {
						subCatsAry[elem] += catCountAry.shift();
					}
				}
		}

Any ideas? :sen:

Thanks :cyborg:
