why this code return undefined
I can't spot the reason
function findShort(s){
let splitted = s.split(' ');
let result = splitted[0].length ;
let looped
for (var i=0 ; i++ ; i<splitted.length){
looped = splitted[i].length;
if (looped < result) {return looped}else {return result }}
};
console.log(findShort("bitcoin take over the world maybe who knows perhaps"));
I am supposed to get numbers of smallest word
Your for loop condition and increment are inverted:
for (var i=0 ; i++ ; i<splitted.length){ ...
should instead be:
for (var i = 0; i < splitted.length; i++) { ...
You also have to fix your looping code as it returns in both branches of you inner if statement, which means only a single iteration will run.
If you want to return the length of the smallest word, do this:
function findShort(s) {
let splitted = s.split(' ');
let result = splitted[0].length;
for (let i = 0; i < splitted.length; i++) {
const looped = splitted[i].length;
if (looped < result) {
result = looped;
}
}
return result;
};
console.log(findShort("bitcoin take over the world maybe who knows perhaps"));
Or shorter using Array.prototype.reduce():
function findShortest(s) {
return s.split(/\s+/).reduce((out, x) => x.length < out ? x.length : out, s.length);
};
console.log(findShortest('bitcoin take over the world maybe who knows perhaps'));
Your for-loop implementation is wrong, it is supposed to be:
for (var i=0; i<splitted.length; i++)
Order of condition and increment is wrong in you for loop as well as the code inside the loop,
it will check for the first element only as you have a return in all conditions.
Here's the correct one
function findShort(s) {
let splitted = s.split(' ');
let result = splitted[0].length;
let looped
for (var i = 0; i < splitted.length; i++) {
looped = splitted[i].length;
if (looped < result) { result = looped }
}
return result;
};
console.log(findShort("bitcoin take over the world maybe who knows perhaps"));

My apologies if this is a duplicate, I couldn't find an answer after searching for a while on Stackoverflow.
I am trying to use a nested loop to find any duplicate characters in a string.
So far, all I can manage to do is to find one duplicate the string.
For example, when I try the string "aabbcde", the function returns ['a', 'a'], whereas I was expecting ['a', 'a', 'b', 'b'].
I obviously have an error in my code, can anybody help point me towards what it could be?
const myStr = "aabbcde";
function duplicateCount(text){
const duplicates = [];
for (let i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < text[i].length; j++) {
if (text[i] === text[j]) {
duplicates.push(text[i]);
}
}
}
return duplicates;
}
duplicateCount(myStr);
It should be something like this.
issues in this loop for (let j = 0; j < text[i].length; j++)
const myStr = "aabbcde";
function duplicateCount(text){
const duplicates = [];
for (let i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
for (let j = i+1; j < text.length; j++) {
if (text[i] === text[j]) {
duplicates.push(text[i]);
}
}
}
return duplicates;
}
console.log(duplicateCount(myStr));
Using nested loop will make it very hard to do it,we can use a Object to store the appear count,and then filter the count
const myStr1 = "aabbcde";
const myStr2 = "ffeddbaa";
const duplicateCount = str => {
let map = {}
for(c of str){
map[c] = (map[c]??0) + 1
}
let result = []
for(m in map){
if(map[m] <= 1){
continue
}
result.push(...Array(map[m]).fill(m))
}
return result
}
console.log(duplicateCount(myStr1))
console.log(duplicateCount(myStr2))
You can simply achieve the result you're looking for by creating an object map of the string (meaning each key of the object will be each unique character of the string and their associated values will be the number of times each character is repeated in the string).
After you create an object map of the string, you can loop through the object and check if each value is greater than one or not. If they're you would push that item into a result array by the number of times the character is repeated. Please find my code here:
const myStr = 'aabbcde';
const duplicateCount = (str) => {
const result = [];
const obj = {};
str.split('').map((char) => {
obj[char] = obj[char] + 1 || 1;
});
for (key in obj) {
if (obj[key] > 1) {
for (let i = 0; i < obj[key]; i++) {
result.push(key);
}
}
}
return result;
};
console.log(duplicateCount(myStr));
I need to create function that creates and returns array. Its size needs to match the rows parameter, and each next element contains consecutive integers starting at 1. To call this function I need to use argument 5. Here below is what I wrote so far. Can you tell me what's wrong here?
function createArray(rows) {
for(let i = 1; i < rows.length; i++) {
console.log(rows[i]);
}return rows;
}
createArray(5);
You need to create an array and return it, whereas you return just rows which is a number. The idea of using a for loop is the best way to go. In that loop you just need to set the values in the array accordinlgy.
Another problem in your code is that rows is of type number and does have a property length but that does not have the desired value. So we just use rows in the for loop. We start the loop with i = 0 because array indices start at 0.
Code
function createArray(rows) {
let arr = new Array(rows);
for (let i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
arr[i] = i + 1;
}
return arr;
}
console.log(createArray(5));
We can not use length property for number. create an empty array and then push values into that array until required size is achieved.
function createArray(rows) {
var arr = [];
for(let i = 1; i <= rows; i++) {
arr.push(i);
}return arr;
}
createArray(5);
I think what you want is createArray(5) return [1,2,3,4,5] if that's the case you could do this
function createArray(rows) {
const arr = []
for(let i = 1; i <= rows; i++) {
arr.push(i);
}
return arr;
}
console.log(createArray(5));
The problem is, that rows.length is not available on 5, because 5 is a number.
You have to use an array as parameter:
Array(5) creates an array with the length of 5 and fill("hello") fills this array with "hello" values.
function createArray(rows) {
for (let i = 1; i < rows.length; i++) {
console.log(rows[i]);
}
return rows;
}
const rows = Array(5).fill("hello");
createArray(rows);
I don't know, if this is the behaviour you want, if not, I misunderstood your question.
I want the result to be the sum of every number, but instead, it only sums the first number with the rest. For example if the parameter were : 1,2,3,4,5
it should come out with 15 but instead, it became 3456. Where did i go wrong?
Thank u guys, i m new to this and thing were really complicated :((
function func1(sum) {
var result = '';
var i;
for (i = 1; i < arguments.length; i++) {
result += arguments[i] + sum;
}
return result;
}
Start with result being a number, not a string: var result = 0.
If you're iterating through arguments, you may as well skip the named first argument altogether.
Start iterating from 0, not 1.
function func1() {
var result = 0;
var i;
for (i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
result += arguments[i];
}
return result;
}
console.log(func1(1, 2, 3, 4, 5));
This should work
function sum(value) {
let result = 0;
for(let i =0; i < value.length; i++) {
result +=value[i];
}
return result
}
let arry = [1,2,3,4,5]
console.log(sum(arry)) //15
When i loop through the array using the splice method, the page just freezes. It looks like i caused an infinite loop. lib.randomInt() works, so that is not the problem.
function() {
return function(string) {
var arr = string.split("")
arr.sort();
for(var i = 0; arr.length;i++){
arr.splice((i+1),0,lib.randomInt(9));
}
var pseudocryptarr = arr.join("");
}
})()("example");
This is from a different file that is placed above the main file in html
var lib = {
factorial: function(num){
function _factorial(num){
if(num === 1){
return 1;
} else {
return num*_factorial(num-1);
}
}
console.log(num+"! = " + _factorial(num));
},
randomInt: function(int,offset){
if(offset == undefined || null || NaN){
offset = 0;
}
return Math.floor(Math.random()*int)+offset;
},
display: function(m, fn){
fn(m);
}
};
You've got to loop in reverse when modifying the array itself to avoid corrupting the loop like this...
for (var i=arr.length-1; i>=0; i--){}
I guess that you wanted to insert a random value after every array element, so that the string "example" would become something like "e5x9a2m4p7l1e3"
There are two issues:
Your for loop has no end condition that will become false. You need to state i < arr.length instead of just arr.length which is always truthy for non-empty arrays.
You add array elements in every iteration, but then also visit them in the next iteration, and from there on you will only be visiting the new inserted values and never get to the next original element that keeps being 1 index away from i. You need to increment i once more. For that you can use ++i instead if i+1 as the splice argument.
So your loop should be:
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
arr.splice(++i,0,lib.randomInt(9));
}
const lib = { randomInt: n => Math.floor(Math.random()*n) };
(function() {
return function(string) {
var arr = string.split("")
arr.sort();
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
arr.splice(++i,0,lib.randomInt(9));
}
var pseudocryptarr = arr.join("");
console.log(pseudocryptarr);
}
})()("example");
Or to save an addition:
for(var i = 1; i <= arr.length; i+=2) {
arr.splice(i,0,lib.randomInt(9));
}
const lib = { randomInt: n => Math.floor(Math.random()*n) };
(function() {
return function(string) {
var arr = string.split("")
arr.sort();
for(var i = 1; i <= arr.length; i+=2) {
arr.splice(i,0,lib.randomInt(9));
}
var pseudocryptarr = arr.join("");
console.log(pseudocryptarr);
}
})()("example");
I fixed it. I wanted after each character for there to be a number. Using the pre-looped array length and doubling it while iterating twice, means that the splice adds the number after the new number element and then the character.
Edit: My typo was the problem. I didnt even have to use len, just iterate by 2.
for(var i = 0;i < arr.length;i+=2){
arr.splice((i+1),0,lib.randomInt(9));
}
(function() {
return function(string) {
var arr = string.split("")
arr.sort();
var len = arr.length
for(var i = 0;i < len*2;i+=2){
arr.splice((i+1),0,lib.randomInt(9));
}
var pseudocryptarr = arr.join("");
console.log(pseudocryptarr);
}
})()("example");
Edit: user4723924 method is better:
(function() {
return function(string) {
var arr = string.split("")
arr.sort();
for(var i = arr.length;i >= 0;i--){
arr.splice((i+1),0,lib.randomInt(9));
}
var pseudocryptarr = arr.join("");
console.log(pseudocryptarr);
}
})()("example");
I am confused about how to iterate on multiple values.
for example : values.categories[0].num[0].entry[0].label;
Do I need to write three for loops in order to iterate through categories, num and entry.
Because categories[0] will always identify the 1st position, but am looking for generic categories[i].
Can you please help me out whether to write three for loops or better option is there to achieve.?
This is what I have tried:
var result = [];
for (var i = 0; i < categories.length; i++) {
var abc = categories[i].num;
for (var j = 0; j < abc.length; j++){
var def = num[i].entry;
}
for(var k = 0; k < def.length; k++){
var ghi = entry[i].label;
result.push(ghi)
console.log(result);
}
}
you can use the each function of jquery.
$.each(categories, function(ci, num) {
// This set the index of the array in ci and the value in num = categories[ci]
$.each(num, function(ni, entry) {
// etc ...
});
});
if you want it to stop the iteration you can return false inside the callback function.
