Hello,
I am new to the programming and javascript and I have a question. I can not figure out how to get assertion function to work. I tried it with the sphere.js that is included with the book but it does not work.
once I run the code nothing happens, but if I comment out the radius assertion it works fine.
Thanks for the help.
//script
function assert(expression, message) {
if (!expression) throw { name: 'Assertion Exception', message: message};}function calculate() {'use strict';// For storing the volume:var volume;// Get a reference to the form value:var radius = document.getElementById('radius').value;assert((typeof radius == 'number'), 'The radius has to be a number.');// Perform the calculation:volume = (4/3) * Math.PI * Math.pow(radius, 3);assert(!isNaN(volume), 'The volume is not a number');// Format the volume:volume = volume.toFixed(4);// Display the volume:document.getElementById('volume').value = volume;// Return false to prevent submission:return false;} // End of calculate() function.// Function called when the window has been loaded.// Function needs to add an event listener to the form.function init() {'use strict';document.getElementById('theForm').onsubmit = calculate;} // End of init() function.window.onload = init;

It throws an error:
Uncaught #<Object> sphere.js:6
assert sphere.js:6
calculate sphere.js:21
I'm trying to figure it out, searching the web, but I can't seem to figure out the solution.
