Code to find the center of an array without using ES6 functions - JavaScript
We are required to write an array function midElement() that returns the middlemost element of the array without accessing its length property and without using any kind of built-in loops.
If the array contains an odd number of elements, we return the one, middlemost element, or if the array contains an even number of elements, we return an array of two middlemost elements.
Example
Following is the code −
const arr = [14, 32, 36, 42, 45, 66, 87];
const array = [13, 92, 83, 74, 55, 46, 74, 82];
const midElement = (arr, ind = 0) => {
if(arr[ind]){
return midElement(arr, ++ind);
};
return ind % 2 !== 0 ? [arr[(ind-1) / 2]] : [arr[(ind/2)-1],
arr[ind/2]];
};
console.log(midElement(arr));
console.log(midElement(array));Output
This will produce the following output in console −
[ 42 ] [ 74, 55 ]
