Javascript Array of Functions


var array_of_functions = [
    first_function('a string'),
    second_function('a string'),
    third_function('a string'),
    forth_function('a string')
]

array_of_functions[0];

That does not work as intended because each function in the array is executed when the array is created.

What is the proper way of executing any function in the array by doing:

array_of_functions[0];  // or, array_of_functions[1] etc.

Thanks!


Solution

  • var array_of_functions = [
        first_function,
        second_function,
        third_function,
        forth_function
    ]
    

    and then when you want to execute a given function in the array:

    array_of_functions[0]('a string');
