Grouping and sorting 2-D array in JavaScript
Suppose we have a two-dimensional array of numbers like this −
const arr = [ [1, 3, 2], [5, 2, 1, 4], [2, 1] ];
We are required to write a JavaScript function that groups all the identical numbers into their own separate subarray, and then the function should sort the group array to place the subarrays into increasing order.
Therefore, finally the new array should look like −
const output = [ [1, 1, 1], [2, 2, 2], [4], [3], [5] ];
Example
The code for this will be −
const arr = [
[1, 3, 2],
[5, 2, 1, 4],
[2, 1]
];
const groupAndSort = arr => {
const res = [];
const map = Object.create(null);
Array.prototype.forEach.call(arr, item => {
item.forEach(el => {
if (!(el in map)) {
map[el] = [];
res.push(map[el]);
};
map[el].push(el);
});
});
res.sort((a, b) => {
return a[0] - b[0];
});
return res;
};
console.log(groupAndSort(arr));Output
The output in the console −
[ [ 1, 1, 1 ], [ 2, 2, 2 ], [ 3 ], [ 4 ], [ 5 ] ]
