pass array from javascript function to another

Question

I want to pass array from function to another in java script, but when I make it, the browser stalk, I don't know why . here's my code:

 function convertToBinary(decNumber){

            var copyDecNum=Number(decNumber);
            var binaryValues= new Array();
            var cnt=0;
               while(copyDecNum.value!=0)
            {
                binaryValues[cnt]=Math.floor(copyDecNum.value%2);
                copyDecNum.value=Math.floor(copyDecNum.value/2);
                cnt++;

            }
            binaryValues[cnt]=copyDecNum%2;
            viewResult(binaryValues,decNumber);



        }

        function viewResult(binaryValues,decNumber){

          alert("here"+binaryValues.length);           //here's the problem
          }

can someone help??

What is this line for binaryValues[cnt]=copyDecNum%2;? I understand, that your trying to convert decimal numbers into binary. And the algorithm seems right but what do expect from this line? If you want to append it as last loop shouldn't it be binaryValues[cnt]=copyDecNum.value%2; ? — Chris

If you want to convert a decimal number to binary use the following,

var dec2bin = function (num) {
  return +(num.toString(2)) //convert number to binary string, then make that a number
}

there's nothing strange in this. I've just utilized what the language provides. Ref: MDC

Use copyDecNum instead of copyDecNum.value in your code.
