Code to construct an object from a string in JavaScript
We are required to write a function that takes in a string as the first and the only argument and constructs an object with its keys based on the unique characters of the string and value of each key being defaulted to 0.
For example: If the input string is −
const str = 'hello world!';
Output
Then the output object should be −
const obj = { "h": 0, "e": 0, "l": 0, "o": 0, " ": 0, "w": 0, "r": 0, "d": 0, "!": 0 };Example
Let’s write the code for this function −
const str = 'hello world!';
const stringToObject = str => {
return str.split("").reduce((acc, val) => {
acc[val] = 0;
return acc;
}, {});
};
console.log(stringToObject(str));
console.log(stringToObject('is it an object'));Output
The output in the console −
{ h: 0, e: 0, l: 0, o: 0, ' ': 0, w: 0, r: 0, d: 0, '!': 0 }
{ i: 0, s: 0, ' ': 0, t: 0, a: 0, n: 0, o: 0, b: 0, j: 0, e: 0, c: 0 }
