Changing an array in place using splice() JavaScript
We are required to write a function that, given an array arr and a number n, returns the array
with elements repeating no more than n times. And we have to do all this without disturbing the
indices of desired elements. So, let’s write the code for this function,
We will keep the count of all the elements in a hashmap and during iteration whenever the count
of any element exceeds the maximum count we will splice that element. The code for this will
be −
Example
const arr = [7, 26, 21, 41, 43, 2, 26, 24, 10, 26, 10, 10, 24, 35, 35,
35, 43, 26, 41, 7, 24, 24, 21, 24, 10, 35, 10, 7, 24, 7, 35, 26, 41,
35, 2, 43, 24, 2, 41, 26, 41, 7, 7, 26, 2, 10, 43, 10, 35, 41, 24, 7,
2, 2, 7, 2, 26, 24, 26, 43, 43, 21, 10, 28, 10];
const array = [12, 4, 2, 12, 32, 21, 67, 4, 32, 5];
const deleteExtra = (arr, n) => {
const map = {};
for(let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
if(map[arr[i]]){
if(map[arr[i]] >= n){
arr.splice(i, 1);
i--;
}else{
map[arr[i]]++;
}
continue;
};
map[arr[i]] = 1;
}
};
deleteExtra(array, 1);
deleteExtra(arr, 2);
console.log(array);
console.log(arr);Output
The output in the console will be −
[
12, 4, 2, 32,
21, 67, 5
]
[
7, 26, 21, 41, 43, 2, 26,
24, 10, 10, 24, 35, 35, 43,
41, 7, 21, 2, 28
]
