A Simple Discrete-Event Simulation: Part 8

Today I automated the generation of entity IDs. First we create a basic counter.

    var globalIDCounter = 0;
    function getNewID() {
      return ++globalIDCounter;
    }

var globalIDCounter = 0;

function getNewID() {

return ++globalIDCounter;

}

Then we change the entity declarations to remove the explicit assignment of IDs as we have been doing.

    function entity1(initialTime,incrementTime,endTime) {
      this.entityID = getNewID();

1 2	function entity1(initialTime,incrementTime,endTime) { this.entityID = getNewID();

That was pretty mindless, so let’s … Continue reading →
