I'm trying to make an AI for a puter that plays tic-tac-toe out of javascript, but I'm running into a console error that says that it can't read the property focus of undefined. My code:

window.addEventListener('load', () => {
  // Determine whether you are going first
  const humanTurnFirst = Math.random() >= 0.5;
  /**

It appears like autoClick is being called thrice. This doesn't appear to be affecting my actual code, but I think console errors are pretty annoying, and I want to get to the bottom of this. Thanks so much for your time, and I'm sorry if I'm being really vague.

• can you check the line 43, are you calling the actual class name. Check for any typo – Beginner Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 17:17
• basically the error is something you are trying to access in the dom but which is undefined, just check by putting a console.log() of the element, and not able to identify where are you calling the focus , can you post the line where you are getting error – Beginner Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 17:20
• @DILEEPTHOMAS I put a console.log(button) in the autoClick function in various places. – fifn2 Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 17:26
• what it is giving undefined or what console.log("button", button). Even if its undefined you will be able to understand easily – Beginner Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 17:29
• @DILEEPTHOMAS I don't understand. Do you want me to put "button" before the button so that people don't get confused? – fifn2 Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 17:35

I've found out why this is.

I need to make my autoClick function return immediately if the button is falsy (or undefined) with this magical one liner:

 if (!button) { return; }

I'm trying to make an AI for a puter that plays tic-tac-toe out of javascript, but I'm running into a console error that says that it can't read the property focus of undefined. My code:

window.addEventListener('load', () => {
  // Determine whether you are going first
  const humanTurnFirst = Math.random() >= 0.5;
  /**
   * Get an array of the text content of each of the tic-tac-toe buttons
   * @returns {Array} Array of the text content of each square, from top-left to bottom-right.

• can you check the line 43, are you calling the actual class name. Check for any typo – Beginner Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 17:17
• basically the error is something you are trying to access in the dom but which is undefined, just check by putting a console.log() of the element, and not able to identify where are you calling the focus , can you post the line where you are getting error – Beginner Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 17:20
• @DILEEPTHOMAS I put a console.log(button) in the autoClick function in various places. – fifn2 Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 17:26
• what it is giving undefined or what console.log("button", button). Even if its undefined you will be able to understand easily – Beginner Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 17:29
• @DILEEPTHOMAS I don't understand. Do you want me to put "button" before the button so that people don't get confused? – fifn2 Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 17:35

I've found out why this is.

I need to make my autoClick function return immediately if the button is falsy (or undefined) with this magical one liner:

 if (!button) { return; }
