Passing Array to Function

[hiyatran]

I would like to pass an array to a function but how does the program know which array I would like to choose from??
Lets say I have 3 arrays and I would like to pass array C, to my function.
I checked the web but they only show if you have ONLY 1 array but NOT for multiple arrays.
How would I even go about doing this??

var arrA=new Array("fox.com","nbc.com","abc.com", "google.com");
var arrB=new Array("car","bike","boat", "plane");
var arrC=new Array("1","2","3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9");

function display(myArray){
   myArray[1] = "changed";
}

display(myArray);

document.writeln(myArray[1]);

thanks

Hi

You should read about functions ( generally, not only in JavaScript ) as there is nothing special there regarding the arrays. The Parameter (computer programming) Wikipedia article is also a good start.

myArray is called formal parameter and is used only in the declaration.
When calling the array the actual parameter is passed and will undergo the operations described in the declaration. That will be arrC in your case.
