Suppose we have two arrays describing some cashflow like these −const months = ["jan", "feb", "mar", "apr"]; const cashflows = [    {'month':'jan', 'value':10},    {'month':'mar', 'value':20} ];We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in two such arrays. Our function should then construct a combined array of objects that contains an object for each month and the value of cash flow for that month.Therefore, for the above array, the output should look like −const output = [    {'month':'jan', 'value':10},    {'month':'feb', 'value':''},    {'month':'mar', 'value':20},    {'month':'apr', 'value':''} ];ExampleThe code for this will be −const months ...

Suppose, we have two JavaScript objects defined like this −const a = {    a: 1,    af: function() { console.log(this.a) }, }; const b = {    b: 2,    bf: function() { console.log(this.b) }, };We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in two such objects. Create another object which will get the properties of a and b, like this −const output = {    a: 1,    af: function() { console.log(this.a) },    b: 2,    bf: function() { console.log(this.b) }, }Note that a and b need to stay the same.ExampleThe code for this will ...

Let’s say, we have an array of numbers and we added elements to it. You need to devise a simple way to remove a specific element from an array.The following is what we are looking for −array.remove(number);We have to use core JavaScript. Frameworks are not allowed.ExampleThe code for this will be −const arr = [2, 5, 9, 1, 5, 8, 5]; const removeInstances = function(el){    const { length } = this;    for(let i = 0; i < this.length; ){       if(el !== this[i]){          i++;          continue;       ...

We are required to depict the ways in which we can access the current timestamp in JavaScript in −---seconds---millisecondsJavaScript works with the number of milliseconds since the epoch whereas most other languages work with the seconds.This will give you a Unix timestamp (in seconds) −const date = new Date(); const unix = Math.round(+date / 1000); console.log(unix);This will give you the milliseconds since the epoch (not Unix timestamp) −const date = new Date(); const milliseconds = date.getTime(); console.log(milliseconds);

We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of Numbers as the first argument and a number, say n, as the second argument.Our function should calculate and return the greatest possible product of n numbers from the array.ExampleThe code for this will be −const getHighestProduct = (arr, num) => {    let prod = 1;    const sorter = (a, b) => a - b;    arr.sort(sorter);    if (num > arr.length || num & 2 && arr[arr.length - 1] < 0) {       return;    };    if (num % 2) { ...

The function should build a tree structure from this array based on ... Read More

Suppose, we have an array of objects that contains data about some fruits and vegetables like this −const arr = [    {food: 'apple', type: 'fruit'},    {food: 'potato', type: 'vegetable'},    {food: 'banana', type: 'fruit'}, ];We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in one such array.Our function should then group the array objects based on the "type" property of the objects.It means that all the "fruit" type objects are grouped together and the "vegetable' type grouped together separately.ExampleThe code for this will be −const arr = [    {food: 'apple', type: 'fruit'},    {food: 'potato', type: ...

We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of strings. Our function should iterate through the array and find and return the longest string from the array.Our function should do this without changing the content of the input array.ExampleThe code for this will be −const arr = ["aaaa", "aa", "aa", "aaaaa", "acc", "aaaaaaaa"]; const findLargest = (arr = []) => {    if(!arr?.length){       return '';    };    let res = '';    res = arr.reduce((acc, val) => {       return acc.length >= val.length ? acc : val;    });    return res; }; console.log(findLargest(arr));OutputAnd the output in the console will be −aaaaaaaa

We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of Numbers.The array might contain some repeating / duplicate entries within it. Our function should add all the duplicate entries and return the new array thus formed.ExampleThe code for this will be −const arr = [20, 20, 20, 10, 10, 5, 1]; const sumIdentical = (arr = []) => {    let map = {};    for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {       let el = arr[i];       map[el] = map[el] ? map[el] + 1 : 1;    };    const res = [];    for (let count in map) {       res.push(map[count] * count);    };    return res; }; console.log(sumIdentical(arr));OutputAnd the output in the console will be −[ 1, 5, 20, 60 ]
