Hello all,
For the life of me I can not figure out why the following code does not work. Please note that when I replace
var data = new String(prompt("Please enter sample numbers separated by a comma",""));
var numbers = data.split(",");
with :
var numbers = new Array(5.1,0.1,2.4,1.7,0.5,3.0,0.9,1.8,2.1,0.7)
it works. Your help is very much appreciated.
