How to convert an array into string and save to an embedded variable.

Question

Hello, I am designing a study wherein participants are asked to watch a video and press the spacebar every time the people in the video show “bad behaviour”.I’ve found some code to do this:let question = this;/* hide next button */question.hideNextButton();/* when the video end, click on next button */jQuery($('videoPlayer')).on("ended", function() { setTimeout(function () {jQuery('#NextButton').click();},1000); });document.onkeydown = function(event) {if (event.which == 32) {let pressCurnetTime = $('videoPlayer').currentTime /* the time when the subject pressed space */event.preventDefault();} }My question is this: how do I make the time an array and record each time the spacebar is pressed?Following this, how would I convert the array to a string variable and save it to an embedded data variable?  Thank you for your help

The code you are using cold be a lot better, but to answer your question…Initialize an array variable:let myArray = [];Add the times to the array:myArray.push($('videoPlayer').currentTime);Join the array into a comma separated string:let string = myArray.join(",");
