For a given linked list, write a program in JavaScript to find its middle element. Here, linked lists are a type of linear data structure. If there are an even number of elements in the linked list, there will be two middle nodes. In this case, the middle element would be the latter element out of both elements. Example Scenario: Input: linked_list = 1->2->3->4->5->6-> null Output: middle_element = 4 Using Iteration Iterate over the whole list and count the number of nodes. Now, iterate over the node till count/2 and return the count/2 i.e. the middle element. Example ... Read More

The keyword "Static" is used for defining a static method or a static property of a class. The benefit of a static method is that we do not need to create an instance or object of the class. It does not have multiple values. It will have a single static value defined during initialization.The keyword static is similar to the const keyword. It is set at the run time when the initialization takes place and these types of variables have global presence and scope. We can use these static variables anywhere over the script.Note − We can reassign and change ... Read More

In this article, we are going to explore a way to convert the JSON text into a JavaScript object.

The Destructuring assignment is a feature that was introduced in the ECMAScript 2015. This feature lets the user extract the contents of the array, and properties of an object into distinct variables without actually writing the repetitive codeThis assignment lets the expression unpack values from arrays, and properties into distinct variables.Example 1In the below example, we use the destructuring assignment to assign variables. In the example, we have two variables defined as first and second. In the method, we are destructing the variables to assign the variables of the array to x and y respectively.# index.html    Checking ... Read More

In this article, we are going to look at some cursor settings and their behaviors. Currently, there are different kind of cursors as provided by any system that includes a pointer, hand, insert, wait, pointer-wait, and many others.With the help of this article, we would be able to configure the wait pointer when required. This pointer will prevent the user from clicking a button unnecessarily and stops any further execution of similar events until the previous event is completed.We can directly use the CSS property to display the cursor as waiting but since we need the dynamic impact on showing ...

In this article, we will explore the essentials of a regular expression (RegEx) and how to compare other strings with this regex in JavaScript. We will learn how to identify a similar string with that of a regex and then subsequently return them. We can use the string.search() method to match the regular expression in a given string.Syntaxlet index = string.search(expression)Parametersstring − This is the string that will be searched in comparison with the expression.expression − This is the regular expression that will be used for checking with the original string.Example 1In the below example, we are going to compare ...
