If you don't have a lot of numbers, then this works:
if(textIndex === 1 || textIndex ===3) {
100;
} else {
0;
}
If you do have a ton of numbers, then this works:
i = [1,3,5,7,10,11];
inArray(i);
function inArray(obj) {
b = 0;
for(i = 0; i < obj.length; i++) {
if(obj[i] === textIndex) {
b = 100;
break;
}
}
return b;
}
