Delete every one of the two strings that start with the same letter in JavaScript
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of strings and deletes every one of the two strings that start with the same letter.
For example, If the actual array is −
const arr = ['Apple', 'Jack' , 'Army', 'Car', 'Jason'];
Then we have to delete and keep only one string in the array distinct letters, so one of the two strings starting with A should get deleted and the same should the one with J.
Example
The code for this will be −
const arr = ['Apple', 'Jack' , 'Army', 'Car', 'Jason']; const delelteSameLetterWord = arr => { const map = new Map(); arr.forEach((el, ind) => { if(map.has(el[0])){ arr.splice(ind, 1); }else{ map.set(el[0], true); }; }); }; delelteSameLetterWord(arr); console.log(arr);
Output
The output in the console −
[ 'Apple', 'Jack', 'Car' ]
