将2个数组组合成一个多维数组？

Question

This is based on my last question.

I have these arrays:

var array1 = new Array ("Pepsi", "Coke", "Juice", "Water");
var array2 = new Array ("35",    "17",   "21",    "99");

And I want to combine them to form a multidimensional array like this:

[
    ["Pepsi","35"]
    ["Coke", "17"]
    ["Juice","21"]
    ["Water","99"]
]

I tried this script:

Values=[];

for (i = 0; i < array1.length; i++) {
    Values[i] = Array(array1[i], array2[i]);
}

But it gave a result like this (correct values, incorrect names):

[
    ["a","35"]
    ["c","17"]
    ["E","21"]
    ["I","99"]
]

Answer 1

var array1 = ["Pepsi", "Coke", "Juice", "Water"],
    array2 = ["35", "17", "21", "99"],
    result = [], i = -1;

while ( array1[++i] ) { 
  result.push( [ array1[i], array2[i] ] );
}

As written, this solution assumes you will only ever be using strings. As @ajax333221 has pointed out in the comments below, this would cause problems if you were to involve boolean or int values into this solution. As such, I'd like to propose an improvement that will accomplish your goals, while not tripping over difficult values and types:

var array1 = [false, 0, "Juice", -1],
    array2 = ["35", "17", "21", "99"],
    result = [];

for ( var i = 0; i < array1.length; i++ ) {
  result.push( [ array1[i], array2[i] ] );
}

Answer 2

You can use .map() on Arrays.

var Values = array1.map(function(v,i) {
    return [v, array2[i]];
});

If you're going to do this operation quite a bit, you could make a reusable function.

In this example, I extended Array.prototype , but that's not necessary if you don't like that.

Array.prototype.combine = function(arr) {
    return this.map(function(v,i) {
        return [v, arr[i]];
    });
};

var Values = array1.combine(array2);
