I would like to know if my approach is efficient and correct. my code is not working though, I don't know why.

How to declare switch statements using JavaScript. Pretty handy to know it will save you lots of time when executing different code depending the value of variable. var jsLang = 'jquery'; switch (jsLang) { case 'jquery': alert('jQuery Wins!
The jQuery syntax is tailor-made for selecting HTML elements and performing some action on the element(s). Basic syntax is: $(selector).action() A $ sign to define/access jQuery. A (selector) to "query (or find)" HTML elements. A jQuery action() to be performed on the element(s)
A switch statement is significantly faster than an if-else ladder if there are many nested if-else's involved. This is due to the creation of a jump table for switch during compilation. As a result, instead of checking which case is satisfied throughout execution, it just decides which case must be completed.
A typical syntax involves: the first select , followed by an expression which is often referred to as the control expression or control variable of the switch statement. subsequent lines defining the actual cases (the values), with corresponding sequences of statements for execution when a match occurs.
You code doesn't work because the variables are scoped to the function HotelQuery. I think what you might want to do is return an object with properties from the function, and also use the unobtrusive JavaScript approach to bind an click event handler to the <a> element.
Something like
$(function() {
$('a').click(function() {
var hotel = HotelQuery('TetrisHotel');
alert(hotel.name) // alerts 'Tetris Hotel'
});
});
function HotelQuery(HotelName) {
var strHotelName;
var strHotelDesc;
var strHotelPrice;
var strHotelRoomType;
switch (HotelName) {
case 'TimelessHotel':
strHotelName = 'Timeless Hotel';
strHotelDesc = 'Hotel Description Timeless Hotel';
strHotelPrice = ['980.00', '1,300.00', '1,600.00', '1,500.00', '1,800.00', '300.00', '150.00', '200.00'];
strHotelRoomType = ['Single Room', 'Delux Room','Twin Room', 'Matrimonial Room', 'Presidential Suites', 'Extra Bed', 'Free Breakfast', 'Extra Person'];
break; //end Timeless Hotel
case 'ParadiseInn':
strHotelName = 'Paradise Inn';
strHotelDesc = 'Hotel Description Paradise Inn';
strHotelPrice = ['980.00', '1,300.00', '1,600.00', '1,500.00', '1,800.00', '300.00', '150.00', '200.00'];
strHotelRoomType = ['Single Room', 'Delux Room','Twin Room', 'Matrimonial Room', 'Presidential Suites', 'Extra Bed', 'Free Breakfast', 'Extra Person'];
break; //end Paradise Inn
case 'TetrisHotel':
strHotelName = 'Tetris Hotel';
strHotelDesc = 'Hotel Description Tetris Hotel';
strHotelPrice = ['980.00', '1,300.00', '1,600.00', '1,500.00', '1,800.00', '300.00', '150.00', '200.00'];
strHotelRoomType = ['Single Room', 'Delux Room','Twin Room', 'Matrimonial Room', 'Presidential Suites', 'Extra Bed', 'Free Breakfast', 'Extra Person'];
break; //end Tetris Hotel
case 'JamstoneInn':
strHotelName = 'Jamstone Inn';
strHotelDesc = 'Hotel Description Jamstone Inn';
strHotelPrice = ['980.00', '1,300.00', '1,600.00', '1,500.00', '1,800.00', '300.00', '150.00', '200.00'];
strHotelRoomType = ['Single Room', 'Delux Room','Twin Room', 'Matrimonial Room', 'Presidential Suites', 'Extra Bed', 'Free Breakfast', 'Extra Person'];
break; //end Jamstone Inn
}
return {
name: strHotelName,
desc: strHotelDesc,
price: strHotelPrice,
roomType: strHotelRoomType
}
};
Just noticed that you're also returning the same values other than the hotel name and description each time (you might have done this just as an example, I'm not sure). You could just assign all variables their value on declaration (or assign the values as properties of the returned object), other than the hotel name and description, which you could assign from the value of the argument for parameter HotelName. Something like
function hotelQuery(hotelName) {
return {
name: hotelName,
desc: 'Hotel Desciption' + hotelName,
// Keep prices as numbers and have a function to display them
// in the culture specific way. Numbers for prices will be easier to deal with
price: [980, 1300, 1600, 1500, 1800, 300, 150, 200],
roomType: ['Single Room', 'Delux Room','Twin Room', 'Matrimonial Room', 'Presidential Suites', 'Extra Bed', 'Free Breakfast', 'Extra Person']
}
}
Several problems.
1) There is no need for the function to be within $(document).ready, get rid of that.
2) Every case statement should be followed by a break, not a lone ;. For example:
function HotelQuery(HotelName) {
switch (HotelName) {
case 'TetrisHotel':
// stuff goes here ...
break; //end Tetris Hotel
};
}
3) alert shouldn't be followed by a : in your onclick handler:
alert: (strHotelName, strHotelDesc, strHotelPrice);
should be
alert(strHotelName, strHotelDesc, strHotelPrice);
Also, alert only takes one parameter, so you need to break it up:
alert(strHotelName); alert(strHotelDesc); alert(strHotelPrice);
3) You're assuming strHotelName, strHotelDesc and strHotelPrice are in the global scope, which they are not.
Altogether, you might want to try something like this:
