Performing power operations on an array of numbers in JavaScript
Problem
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of integers, arr, of even length.
Suppose a number num where −
num = (arr[0] * arr[0] + arr[1] * arr[1]) * (arr[2] * arr[2] + arr[3] * arr[3]) * … * (arr[n-2] * arr[n-2] + arr[n-1] * arr[n-1])
Where n is the length of the array.
Our function should find and return an array of two numbers [A, B] such that −
A2 + B2 = num
For instance, if the array is −
[1, 2, 3, 4]
Then num = ( 1 + 4 ) * (9 + 16) = 125
Then output should be −
[2, 11]
Because 22 + 112 = 125
Example
Following is the code −
const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4];
const findMatchingSumArray = (arr = []) => {
let squaredSum = 1;
for(let i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i += 2){
const curr = arr[i];
const next = arr[i + 1];
squaredSum *= (Math.pow(curr, 2) + Math.pow(next, 2));
};
for(let k = 0; k * k < squaredSum; k++){
for(let j = 0; (k * k) + (j * j) <= squaredSum; j++){
if((k * k) + (j * j) === squaredSum){
return [k, j];
};
};
};
return [];
};
console.log(findMatchingSumArray(arr));Output
Following is the console output −
[2, 11]
