What's a Jelo Shot? How do I use these tutorials?

Tutorial: Array Methods

Jelo.each

/*
 * Jelo.each iterates over Arrays and objects. If the function
 * passed to Jelo.each returns false, Jelo.each immediately stops 
 * and returns the index it stopped at.
 */

// define an array
var names = [ 'John', 'Jim', 'Mary', 'Jane' ];

// define an object
var Landmark = {
    name      : 'Eiffel Tower',
    latitude  : 48.858001709,
    longitude : 2.29460000992
};

// output all names
Jelo.each(names, function() {
    alert(this); // "this" == arguments[0]
});

// output the first name that does NOT begin with "J"
var notJ = Jelo.each(names, function(item, index) {
    return (this[0] == "J");
});
alert(names[notJ] + ' does NOT begin with "J".'); // notJ == 2

// output all info about our Landmark
Jelo.each(Landmark, function(item, index) {
    alert(index + ': ' + item);
});

Randomizing an Array Using shuffle()

// Array.sort() is built-in, Array.shuffle() is added by Jelo
var myArray = ['the', 'quick', 'brown', 'fox', 'jumps', 'over', 'the', 'lazy', 'dog'];

// alphabetical order
myArray.sort();
$('.example').innerHTML = myArray.toString();

// random order (changes every time you run this jelo shot)
myArray.shuffle();
$('.example').innerHTML = myArray.toString();
