Mapping the letter of a string to an object of arrays - JavaScript
Given a string, we are required to write a function that creates an object that stores the indexes of each letter in an array. The letters (elements) of the string must be the keys of object
The indexes should be stored in an array and those arrays are values.
For example −
If the input string is −
const str = 'cannot';
Then the output should be −
const output = {
'c': [0],
'a': [1],
'n': [2, 3],
'o': [4],
't': [5]
};Example
Following is the code −
const str = 'cannot';
const mapString = str => {
const map = {};
for(let i = 0; i < str.length; i++){
if(map.hasOwnProperty(str[i])){
map[str[i]] = map[str[i]].concat(i);
}else{
map[str[i]] = [i];
};
};
return map;
};
console.log(mapString(str));Output
Following is the output in the console −
{ c: [ 0 ], a: [ 1 ], n: [ 2, 3 ], o: [ 4 ], t: [ 5 ] }
