Finding sum of all unique elements in JavaScript
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of numbers with duplicate entries and sums all the duplicate entries to one index.
For example: If the input array is −
const input = [1, 3, 1, 3, 5, 7, 5, 4];
Output
Then the output should be −
const output = [2, 6, 7, 10, 4];
// all the duplicate ones are summed to index 0
// all the duplicate threes are summed to index 1 and so on.
Therefore, let’s write the code for this function −
Example
The code for this will be −
const input = [1, 3, 1, 3, 5, 7, 5, 4];
const mergeDuplicates = arr => {
const map = arr.reduce((acc, val) => {
if(acc.has(val)){
acc.set(val, acc.get(val) + 1);
}else{
acc.set(val, 1);
};
return acc;
}, new Map());
return Array.from(map, el => el[0] * el[1]);
};
console.log(mergeDuplicates(input));Output
The output in the console will be −
[ 2, 6, 10, 7, 4 ]
