JavaScript Strings: Replacing i with 1 and o with 0
We are required to write a function that takes in a string as one and only argument and returns another string that has all 'i' and 'o' replaced with '1' and '0' respectively. It's one of those classic for loop problems where we iterate over the string with its index and construct a new string as we move through. Using For Loop The most straightforward approach is to iterate through each character and build a new string: const string = 'Hello, is it raining in Amsterdam?'; const replaceChars = (str) => { ...
Read MoreAdd line break inside a string conditionally in JavaScript
In JavaScript, you can add line breaks inside a string conditionally by checking character limits and replacing spaces with newline characters. This is useful for formatting text within specific width constraints. Problem Description We need to create a function breakString() that takes two parameters: a string to be broken and a threshold number representing the maximum characters per line. When the character count exceeds this limit and we encounter a space, we replace it with a line break. Algorithm Approach The solution iterates through the string while maintaining a character count. When the count reaches the ...
Read MoreReverse alphabetically sorted strings in JavaScript
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a lowercase string and sorts it in the reverse alphabetical order i.e., 'z' should come before 'y', 'b' before 'a', and so on. Example If the input string is: const str = "hello"; Then the output should be: const output = "ollhe"; Using Custom Comparator Function Here's how we can achieve reverse alphabetical sorting using a custom comparator: const string = 'hello'; const sorter = (a, b) => { const legend = ...
Read MoreFinding the first unique element in a sorted array in JavaScript
Suppose we have a sorted array of literals like this: const arr = [2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]; We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in one such array and returns the first number that appears only once in the array. If there is no such number in the array, we should return false. For this array, the output should be 6. Using Index Comparison Method Since the array is sorted, we can check if an element is unique by comparing it with ...
Read MoreSum of distinct elements of an array in JavaScript
Suppose, we have an array of numbers like this − const arr = [1, 5, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 7, 1]; We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in one such array and counts the sum of all distinct elements of the array. For example: The output for the array mentioned above will be − 30 Method 1: Using lastIndexOf() and indexOf() This approach checks if the current index is the last occurrence of each element, ensuring we count each distinct element ...
Read MoreReturn the index of first character that appears twice in a string in JavaScript
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a string and returns the index of the first character that appears twice in the string. If there is no such character then we should return -1. Syntax function firstRepeating(str) { // Implementation here } Example The code for this will be − const str = 'Hello world, how are you'; const firstRepeating = str => { const map = new Map(); for(let i = 0; i < ...
Read MoreFind array elements that are out of order in JavaScript
Suppose we have an array of sorted numbers but some elements of the array are out of their sorted order. We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in one such array and returns a subarray of all those elements that are out of order. Example The code for this will be − const arr = ["2", "3", "7", "4", "5", "6", "1"]; const findOutOfOrder = arr => { let notInOrder = []; notInOrder = arr.filter((el, ind) => { ...
Read MoreGrouping names based on first letter in JavaScript
Suppose, we have an array of names like this: const arr = ["Simon", "Mike", "Jake", "Lara", "Susi", "Blake", "James"]; We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in one such array. The function should return an array of objects with two properties: letter -> the letter on which the names are grouped names -> an array of names that falls in that group Example The code for this will be: const arr = ["Simon", "Mike", "Jake", "Lara", "Susi", "Blake", ...
Read MoreHow to iterate over objects in array and sum a property in JavaScript
Suppose we have an array of objects like this: const arr = [ { duration: 10, any: 'fields' }, { duration: 20, any: 'other fields' }, { duration: 15, any: 'some other fields' } ...
Read MoreGet values that are not present in another array in JavaScript
We are given two arrays: (arr1 and arr2) − arr1 contains some literal values. arr2 contains objects that map some literal values. We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in two such arrays. Then the function should return an array of all the elements from arr1 that are not mapped by objects in arr2. Example The code for this will be − const arr1 = [111, 222, 333, 444]; const arr2 = [ { identifier: 111 }, ...
