I would like to compound values while mapping an array, I tried this but it didn't work:
var array = children.map((child, i) => {
return child.offsetHeight + array[i-1]
})
I would like an array that looks like this:
[1, 5, 3, 2]
to output:
[1, 6, 9, 11]
Using map is not a requirement. But I don't mind using something more intended than a for-loop.
Here an alternative way to other proposals and simple one-liner by using a forEach-loop:
let a = [1, 5, 3, 2],
b = [];
a.forEach((el, it) => { b.push(el + (b[it - 1] || 0)) });
console.log(b)
(b[it - 1] || 0) covers the first iteration where we would access b[-1]
You can use a combination of Array#map, Array#slice and Array#reduce :
.map( ... ) goes through your array
.slice( ... ) cuts a part from your array, from beginning to i+1
.reduce( ... ) returns the sum of the previously cut array
let children = [1, 5, 3, 2];
var array = children.map((child, i) =>
children.slice(0,i+1).reduce((acc, curr) => acc + curr, 0));
console.log(array);
This is one way:
const input = [1, 5, 3, 2];
const result = input.reduce((arr, x, i) =>
i == 0 ? [x] : [...arr, x + arr[arr.length - 1]]
, null)
console.log(result);
Reduce is better than map here, as you get access to the current state, rather than just the current item or the input array.
You can use array#reduce.
var result = [1, 5, 3, 2].reduce((r,v,i) => {
i ? r.push(r[i-1] + v) : r.push(v);
return r;
},[]);
console.log(result);
The easiest solution would be a combination of map slice and reduce:
arr = [1,5,3,2]
result = arr.map((elem, index) => arr.slice(0, index + 1).reduce((a,c) => a+c))
console.log(result)
You can do something like this, you must check at position 0 that array doesn't exist. This solution avoids using reduce and slice each step, improving performance;
var children = [1, 5, 3, 2]
var sum = 0;
var array = children.map((child, i, array) => {
sum = sum + child;
return sum;
})
console.log(array)
Example using for...of:
var arr = [1, 5, 3, 2]
var res = []
var c = 0
for (let item of arr) {
c += item
res.push(c)
}
console.log(res)
//[1, 6, 9, 11]
You could do this with reduce() method instead of map(). So if current index is not 0 you can take last element from accumulator and add current element.
const data = [1, 5, 3, 2]
const result = data.reduce((r, e, i) => {
r.push(i ? +r.slice(-1) + e : e)
return r;
}, []);
console.log(result)
You could also do this with just map() method using thisArg parameter and storing last value inside.
const data = [1, 5, 3, 2]
const result = data.map(function(e) {
return this.n += e
}, {n: 0});
console.log(result)
Or you could just create closure with IIFE and inside use map() method.
const data = [1, 5, 3, 2]
const result = (s => data.map(e => s += e))(0)
console.log(result)
What is the easiest way to remove all elements from array that match specific string? For example:
array = [1,2,'deleted',4,5,'deleted',6,7];
I want to remove all 'deleted' from the array.
Simply use the Array.prototype.filter() function for obtain elements of a condition
var array = [1,2,'deleted',4,5,'deleted',6,7];
var newarr = array.filter(function(a){return a !== 'deleted'})
Update: ES6 Syntax
let array = [1,2,'deleted',4,5,'deleted',6,7]
let newarr = array.filter(a => a !== 'deleted')
If you have multiple strings to remove from main array, You can try this
// Your main array
var arr = [ '8','abc','b','c'];
// This array contains strings that needs to be removed from main array
var removeStr = [ 'abc' , '8'];
arr = arr.filter(function(val){
return (removeStr.indexOf(val) == -1 ? true : false)
})
console.log(arr);
// 'arr' Outputs to :
[ 'b', 'c' ]
OR
Better Performance(Using hash) , If strict type equality not required
// Your main array
var arr = [ '8','deleted','b','c'];
// This array contains strings that needs to be removed from main array
var removeStr = [ 'deleted' , '8'];
var removeObj = {}; // Use of hash will boost performance for larger arrays
removeStr.forEach( e => removeObj[e] = true);
var res = arr.filter(function(val){
return !removeObj[val]
})
console.log(res);
// 'arr' Outputs to :
[ 'b', 'c' ]
If you want the same array then you can use
var array = [1,2,'deleted',4,5,'deleted',6,7];
var index = "deleted";
for(var i = array.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
if(array[i] === index) {
array.splice(i, 1);
}
}
EXAMPLE 1
else you can use Array.prototype.filter which creates a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.
var arrayVal = [1,2,'deleted',4,5,'deleted',6,7];
function filterVal(value) {
return value !== 'deleted';
}
var filtered = arrayVal.filter(filterVal);
EXAMPLE 2
array = array.filter(function(s) {
return s !== 'deleted';
});
A canonical answer would probably look like this:
[10, 'deleted', 20, 'deleted'].filter(x => x !== 'deleted');
//=> [10, 20]
There's nothing unexpected here; any developers can read, understand and maintain this code. From that perspective this solution is great. I just want to offer some different perspectives.
Firstly I sometimes struggle with the semantic of filter when the condition is "reversed":
[2, 3, 2, 3].filter(x => x === 2);
[2, 3, 2, 3].filter(x => x !== 2);
This is a contrived example but I bet a few readers did pause for a nanosecond. These small cognitive bumps can be exhausting in the long run.
I personally wish there would be a reject method:
[2, 3, 2, 3].filter(x => x === 2);
[2, 3, 2, 3].reject(x => x === 2);
Secondly there's a lot of "machinery" in this expression x => x === 2: a function expression, a parameter and an equality check.
This could be abstracted away by using a curried function:
const eq =
x => y =>
x === y;
[2, 3, 2, 3].filter(eq(2));
//=> [2, 2]
We can see that eq(2) is the same as x => x === 2 just shorter and with added semantic.
Now let's build a reject function and use eq:
const reject =
(pred, xs) =>
xs.filter(x =>
pred(x) === false);
reject(eq(2), [2, 3, 2, 3]);
//=> [3, 3]
But what if we need to reject other things? Well we can build an either function that uses eq:
const either =
(...xs) => y =>
xs.some(eq(y));
reject(either(1, 2), [1, 3, 2, 3]);
//=> [3, 3]
Finally to answer your question:
reject(eq('deleted'), [1, 'deleted', 3]);
//=> [1, 3]
reject(either('deleted', 'removed'), [1, 'deleted', 3, 'removed', 5]);
//=> [1, 3, 5]
We could go further and remove based on different predicates e.g. remove if matches the string "delete" or is 0.
Let's build a eitherfn function that takes a list of predicates:
const eitherfn =
(...fn) => y =>
fn.some(f =>
f(y));
And now let's build a match function:
const match =
x => y =>
typeof y === 'string'
? y.includes(x)
: false;
Then:
reject(eitherfn(match('delete'), eq(0)), [0, 1, 'deleted', 3, 'will delete', 5])
// [1, 3, 5]
Consider the following simple array:
var foods = ['hotdog', 'hamburger', 'soup', 'sandwich', 'hotdog', 'watermelon', 'hotdog'];
With underscore, is there a function or combination of functions I can use to select the most frequently occurring value (in this case it's hotdog)?
var foods = ['hotdog', 'hamburger', 'soup', 'sandwich', 'hotdog', 'watermelon', 'hotdog'];
var result = _.chain(foods).countBy().pairs().max(_.last).head().value();
console.log(result);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.8.3/underscore.js"></script>
countBy:
Sorts a list into groups and returns a count for the number of objects
in each group.
pairs:
Convert an object into a list of [key, value] pairs.
max:
Returns the maximum value in list. If an iterator function is provided, it will be used on each value to generate the criterion by which the value is ranked.
last:
Returns the last element of an array
head:
Returns the first element of an array
chain:
Returns a wrapped object. Calling methods on this object will continue to return wrapped objects until value is used.
value:
Extracts the value of a wrapped object.
You can do this in one pass using _.reduce. The basic idea is to keep track of the word frequencies and the most common word at the same time:
var o = _(foods).reduce(function(o, s) {
o.freq[s] = (o.freq[s] || 0) + 1;
if(!o.freq[o.most] || o.freq[s] > o.freq[o.most])
o.most = s;
return o;
}, { freq: { }, most: '' });
That leaves 'hotdot' in o.most.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/ambiguous/G9W4m/
You can also do it with each (or even a simple for loop) if you don't mind predeclaring the cache variable:
var o = { freq: { }, most: '' };
_(foods).each(function(s) {
o.freq[s] = (o.freq[s] || 0) + 1;
if(!o.freq[o.most] || o.freq[s] > o.freq[o.most])
o.most = s;
});
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/ambiguous/WvXEV/
You could also break o into two pieces and use a slightly modified version of the above, then you wouldn't have to say o.most to get 'hotdog'.
Based off previous answers, here's my version to calculate mode for either an array of strings or numbers that accounts for draws in mode (when values have equal frequency) and also returns the frequency. You can then choose what to do with them.
Underscore and Lodash included.
// returns
// [['item', frequency]] where item is a string and frequency is an interger
// [['item', frequency], ['item', frequency], ['item', frequency] ... ] for draws
// examples:
// unique mode: creed appears the most times in array
// returns: [['creed', 4]]
// draw mode: 'jim' and 'creed' both occur 4 times in array
// returns: [['jim', 4], ['creed', 4]]
// underscore:
const usMode = arr => _.chain(arr).countBy().pairs().value().sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1]).filter((e,i,a) => e[1] === a[0][1])
// lodash
const ldMode = arr => _.chain(arr).countBy().toPairs().value().sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1]).filter((e,i,a) => e[1] === a[0][1])
// usage
usMode([1,2,3,3,3,4,5,6,7])
// [['3', 3]]
using underscore:
// underscore
const strsUniqueArr = ['jim','pam','creed','pam','jim','creed','creed','creed']
const strsDrawArr = ['pam','jim','creed','jim','jim','creed','creed','creed', 'pam', 'jim']
const numsUniqueArr = [1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 ,4, 5]
const numsDrawArr = [1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 ,4, 5]
const usMode = arr => _.chain(arr).countBy().pairs().value().sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1]).filter((e,i,a) => e[1] === a[0][1])
console.log('empty', usMode([]))
console.log('unique strs', usMode(strsUniqueArr))
console.log('draw sts', usMode(strsDrawArr))
console.log('unique nums', usMode(numsUniqueArr))
console.log('draw nums', usMode(numsDrawArr))
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.9.1/underscore-min.js"></script>
using lodash:

const strsDrawArr = ['pam','jim','creed','jim','jim','creed','creed','creed', 'pam', 'jim']
const numsUniqueArr = [1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 ,4, 5]
const numsDrawArr = [1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 ,4, 5]

In Javascript, I'm trying to take an initial array of number values and count the elements inside it. Ideally, the result would be two new arrays, the first specifying each unique element, and the second containing the number of times each element occurs. However, I'm open to suggestions on the format of the output.
For example, if the initial array was:
5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4
Then two new arrays would be created. The first would contain the name of each unique element:
5, 2, 9, 4
The second would contain the number of times that element occurred in the initial array:
3, 5, 1, 1
Because the number 5 occurs three times in the initial array, the number 2 occurs five times and 9 and 4 both appear once.
I've searched a lot for a solution, but nothing seems to work, and everything I've tried myself has wound up being ridiculously complex. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks :)
You can use an object to hold the results:
const arr = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4];
const counts = {};
for (const num of arr) {
counts[num] = counts[num] ? counts[num] + 1 : 1;
}
console.log(counts);
console.log(counts[5], counts[2], counts[9], counts[4]);
So, now your counts object can tell you what the count is for a particular number:
console.log(counts[5]); // logs '3'
If you want to get an array of members, just use the keys() functions
keys(counts); // returns ["5", "2", "9", "4"]
const occurrences = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4].reduce(function (acc, curr) {
return acc[curr] ? ++acc[curr] : acc[curr] = 1, acc
}, {});
console.log(occurrences) // => {2: 5, 4: 1, 5: 3, 9: 1}
const arr = [2, 2, 5, 2, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 9];
function foo (array) {
let a = [],
b = [],
arr = [...array], // clone array so we don't change the original when using .sort()
prev;
arr.sort();
for (let element of arr) {
if (element !== prev) {
a.push(element);
b.push(1);
}
else ++b[b.length - 1];
prev = element;
}
return [a, b];
}
const result = foo(arr);
console.log('[' + result[0] + ']','[' + result[1] + ']')
console.log(arr)
One line ES6 solution. So many answers using object as a map but I can't see anyone using an actual Map
const map = arr.reduce((acc, e) => acc.set(e, (acc.get(e) || 0) + 1), new Map());
Use map.keys() to get unique elements
Use map.values() to get the occurrences
Use map.entries() to get the pairs [element, frequency]
var arr = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4]
const map = arr.reduce((acc, e) => acc.set(e, (acc.get(e) || 0) + 1), new Map());
console.info([...map.keys()])
console.info([...map.values()])
console.info([...map.entries()])
If using underscore or lodash, this is the simplest thing to do:
_.countBy(array);
Such that:
_.countBy([5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4])
=> Object {2: 5, 4: 1, 5: 3, 9: 1}
As pointed out by others, you can then execute the _.keys() and _.values() functions on the result to get just the unique numbers, and their occurrences, respectively. But in my experience, the original object is much easier to deal with.
Don't use two arrays for the result, use an object:
a = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4];
result = { };
for(var i = 0; i < a.length; ++i) {
if(!result[a[i]])
result[a[i]] = 0;
++result[a[i]];
}
Then result will look like:
{
2: 5,
4: 1,
5: 3,
9: 1
}
How about an ECMAScript2015 option.
const a = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4];
const aCount = new Map([...new Set(a)].map(
x => [x, a.filter(y => y === x).length]
));
aCount.get(5) // 3
aCount.get(2) // 5
aCount.get(9) // 1
aCount.get(4) // 1
This example passes the input array to the Set constructor creating a collection of unique values. The spread syntax then expands these values into a new array so we can call map and translate this into a two-dimensional array of [value, count] pairs - i.e. the following structure:
Array [
[5, 3],
[2, 5],
[9, 1],
[4, 1]
]
The new array is then passed to the Map constructor resulting in an iterable object:
Map {
5 => 3,
2 => 5,
9 => 1,
4 => 1
}
The great thing about a Map object is that it preserves data-types - that is to say aCount.get(5) will return 3 but aCount.get("5") will return undefined. It also allows for any value / type to act as a key meaning this solution will also work with an array of objects.
function frequencies(/* {Array} */ a){
return new Map([...new Set(a)].map(
x => [x, a.filter(y => y === x).length]
));
}
let foo = { value: 'foo' },
bar = { value: 'bar' },
baz = { value: 'baz' };
let aNumbers = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4],
aObjects = [foo, bar, foo, foo, baz, bar];
frequencies(aNumbers).forEach((val, key) => console.log(key + ': ' + val));
frequencies(aObjects).forEach((val, key) => console.log(key.value + ': ' + val));
I think this is the simplest way how to count occurrences with same value in array.
var a = [true, false, false, false];
a.filter(function(value){
return value === false;
}).length
const data = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4]
function count(arr) {
return arr.reduce((prev, curr) => (prev[curr] = ++prev[curr] || 1, prev), {})
}
console.log(count(data))
2021's version
The more elegant way is using Logical nullish assignment (x ??= y) combined with Array#reduce() with O(n) time complexity.
The main idea is still using Array#reduce() to aggregate with output as object to get the highest performance (both time and space complexity) in terms of searching & construct bunches of intermediate arrays like other answers.
const arr = [2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 9];
const result = arr.reduce((acc, curr) => {
acc[curr] ??= {[curr]: 0};
acc[curr][curr]++;
return acc;
}, {});
console.log(Object.values(result));
Clean & Refactor code
Using Comma operator (,) syntax.
The comma operator (,) evaluates each of its operands (from left to
right) and returns the value of the last operand.
const arr = [2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 9];
const result = arr.reduce((acc, curr) => (acc[curr] = (acc[curr] || 0) + 1, acc), {});
console.log(result);
Output
{
"2": 5,
"4": 1,
"5": 3,
"9": 1
}
If you favour a single liner.
arr.reduce(function(countMap, word) {countMap[word] = ++countMap[word] || 1;return countMap}, {});
Edit (6/12/2015):
The Explanation from the inside out.
countMap is a map that maps a word with its frequency, which we can see the anonymous function. What reduce does is apply the function with arguments as all the array elements and countMap being passed as the return value of the last function call. The last parameter ({}) is the default value of countMap for the first function call.
ES6 version should be much simplifier (another one line solution)
let arr = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4];
let acc = arr.reduce((acc, val) => acc.set(val, 1 + (acc.get(val) || 0)), new Map());
console.log(acc);
// output: Map { 5 => 3, 2 => 5, 9 => 1, 4 => 1 }
A Map instead of plain Object helping us to distinguish different type of elements, or else all counting are base on strings
Edit 2020: this is a pretty old answer (nine years). Extending the native prototype will always generate discussion. Although I think the programmer is free to choose her own programming style, here's a (more modern) approach to the problem without extending Array.prototype:
{
// create array with some pseudo random values (1 - 5)
const arr = Array.from({length: 100})
.map( () => Math.floor(1 + Math.random() * 5) );
// frequencies using a reducer
const arrFrequencies = arr.reduce((acc, value) =>
({ ...acc, [value]: acc[value] + 1 || 1}), {} )
console.log(arrFrequencies);
console.log(`Value 4 occurs ${arrFrequencies[4]} times in arrFrequencies`);
// bonus: restore Array from frequencies
const arrRestored = Object.entries(arrFrequencies)
.reduce( (acc, [key, value]) => acc.concat(Array(value).fill(+key)), [] );
console.log(arrRestored.join());
}
.as-console-wrapper { top: 0; max-height: 100% !important; }
The old (2011) answer: you could extend Array.prototype, like this:
{
Array.prototype.frequencies = function() {
var l = this.length,
result = {
all: []
};
while (l--) {
result[this[l]] = result[this[l]] ? ++result[this[l]] : 1;
}
// all pairs (label, frequencies) to an array of arrays(2)
for (var l in result) {
if (result.hasOwnProperty(l) && l !== 'all') {
result.all.push([l, result[l]]);
}
}
return result;
};
var freqs = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4].frequencies();
console.log(`freqs[2]: ${freqs[2]}`); //=> 5
// or
var freqs = '1,1,2,one,one,2,2,22,three,four,five,three,three,five'
.split(',')
.frequencies();
console.log(`freqs.three: ${freqs.three}`); //=> 3
// Alternatively you can utilize Array.map:
Array.prototype.frequencies = function() {
var freqs = {
sum: 0
};
this.map(function(a) {
if (!(a in this)) {
this[a] = 1;
} else {
this[a] += 1;
}
this.sum += 1;
return a;
}, freqs);
return freqs;
}
}
.as-console-wrapper { top: 0; max-height: 100% !important; }
Based on answer of #adamse and #pmandell (which I upvote), in ES6 you can do it in one line:
2017 edit: I use || to reduce code size and make it more readable.
var a=[7,1,7,2,2,7,3,3,3,7,,7,7,7];
alert(JSON.stringify(
a.reduce((r,k)=>{r[k]=1+r[k]||1;return r},{})
));
It can be used to count characters:
var s="ABRACADABRA";
alert(JSON.stringify(
s.split('').reduce((a, c)=>{a[c]++?0:a[c]=1;return a},{})
));
A shorter version using reduce and tilde (~) operator.
const data = [2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 9];
function freq(nums) {
return nums.reduce((acc, curr) => {
acc[curr] = -~acc[curr];
return acc;
}, {});
}
console.log(freq(data));
If you are using underscore you can go the functional route
a = ['foo', 'foo', 'bar'];
var results = _.reduce(a,function(counts,key){ counts[key]++; return counts },
_.object( _.map( _.uniq(a), function(key) { return [key, 0] })))
so your first array is
_.keys(results)
and the second array is
_.values(results)
most of this will default to native javascript functions if they are available
demo : http://jsfiddle.net/dAaUU/
So here's how I'd do it with some of the newest javascript features:
First, reduce the array to a Map of the counts:
let countMap = array.reduce(
(map, value) => {map.set(value, (map.get(value) || 0) + 1); return map},
new Map()
)
By using a Map, your starting array can contain any type of object, and the counts will be correct. Without a Map, some types of objects will give you strange counts.
See the Map docs for more info on the differences.
This could also be done with an object if all your values are symbols, numbers, or strings:
let countObject = array.reduce(
(map, value) => { map[value] = (map[value] || 0) + 1; return map },
{}
)
Or slightly fancier in a functional way without mutation, using destructuring and object spread syntax:
let countObject = array.reduce(
(value, {[value]: count = 0, ...rest}) => ({ [value]: count + 1, ...rest }),
{}
)
At this point, you can use the Map or object for your counts (and the map is directly iterable, unlike an object), or convert it to two arrays.
For the Map:
countMap.forEach((count, value) => console.log(`value: ${value}, count: ${count}`)
let values = countMap.keys()
let counts = countMap.values()
Or for the object:
Object
.entries(countObject) // convert to array of [key, valueAtKey] pairs
.forEach(([value, count]) => console.log(`value: ${value}, count: ${count}`)
let values = Object.keys(countObject)
let counts = Object.values(countObject)
var array = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4];
function countDuplicates(obj, num){
obj[num] = (++obj[num] || 1);
return obj;
}
var answer = array.reduce(countDuplicates, {});
// answer => {2:5, 4:1, 5:3, 9:1};
If you still want two arrays, then you could use answer like this...
var uniqueNums = Object.keys(answer);
// uniqueNums => ["2", "4", "5", "9"];
var countOfNums = Object.keys(answer).map(key => answer[key]);
// countOfNums => [5, 1, 3, 1];
Or if you want uniqueNums to be numbers
var uniqueNums = Object.keys(answer).map(key => +key);
// uniqueNums => [2, 4, 5, 9];
Here's just something light and easy for the eyes...
function count(a,i){
var result = 0;
for(var o in a)
if(a[o] == i)
result++;
return result;
}
Edit: And since you want all the occurences...
function count(a){
var result = {};
for(var i in a){
if(result[a[i]] == undefined) result[a[i]] = 0;
result[a[i]]++;
}
return result;
}
Solution using a map with O(n) time complexity.
var arr = [2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 9];
const countOccurrences = (arr) => {
const map = {};
for ( var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
map[arr[i]] = ~~map[arr[i]] + 1;
}
return map;
}

There is a much better and easy way that we can do this using ramda.js.
Code sample here
const ary = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4];
R.countBy(r=> r)(ary)
countBy documentation is at documentation
I know this question is old but I realized there are too few solutions where you get the count array as asked with a minimal code so here is mine
// The initial array we want to count occurences
var initial = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4];
// The count array asked for
var count = Array.from(new Set(initial)).map(val => initial.filter(v => v === val).length);
// Outputs [ 3, 5, 1, 1 ]
Beside you can get the set from that initial array with
var set = Array.from(new Set(initial));
//set = [5, 2, 9, 4]
My solution with ramda:
const testArray = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4]
const counfFrequency = R.compose(
R.map(R.length),
R.groupBy(R.identity),
)
counfFrequency(testArray)
Link to REPL.
Using MAP you can have 2 arrays in the output: One containing the occurrences & the other one is containing the number of occurrences.
const dataset = [2,2,4,2,6,4,7,8,5,6,7,10,10,10,15];
let values = [];
let keys = [];
var mapWithOccurences = dataset.reduce((a,c) => {
if(a.has(c)) a.set(c,a.get(c)+1);
else a.set(c,1);
return a;
}, new Map())
.forEach((value, key, map) => {
keys.push(key);
values.push(value);
});
console.log(keys)
console.log(values)
This question is more than 8 years old and many, many answers do not really take ES6 and its numerous advantages into account.
Perhaps is even more important to think about the consequences of our code for garbage collection/memory management whenever we create additional arrays, make double or triple copies of arrays or even convert arrays into objects. These are trivial observations for small applications but if scale is a long term objective then think about these, thoroughly.
If you just need a "counter" for specific data types and the starting point is an array (I assume you want therefore an ordered list and take advantage of the many properties and methods arrays offer), you can just simply iterate through array1 and populate array2 with the values and number of occurrences for these values found in array1.
As simple as that.
Example of simple class SimpleCounter (ES6) for Object Oriented Programming and Object Oriented Design
class SimpleCounter {
constructor(rawList){ // input array type
this.rawList = rawList;
this.finalList = [];
}
mapValues(){ // returns a new array
this.rawList.forEach(value => {
this.finalList[value] ? this.finalList[value]++ : this.finalList[value] = 1;
});
this.rawList = null; // remove array1 for garbage collection
return this.finalList;
}
}
module.exports = SimpleCounter;
Using Lodash
const values = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4];
const frequency = _.map(_.groupBy(values), val => ({ value: val[0], frequency: val.length }));
console.log(frequency);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.15/lodash.min.js"></script>
To return an array which is then sortable:
let array = [5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 4]
let reducedArray = array.reduce( (acc, curr, _, arr) => {
if (acc.length == 0) acc.push({item: curr, count: 1})
else if (acc.findIndex(f => f.item === curr ) === -1) acc.push({item: curr, count: 1})
else ++acc[acc.findIndex(f => f.item === curr)].count
return acc
}, []);
console.log(reducedArray.sort((a,b) => b.count - a.count ))
/*
Output:
[
{
"item": 2,
"count": 5
},
{
"item": 5,
"count": 3
},
{
"item": 9,
"count": 1
},
{
"item": 4,
"count": 1
}
]
*/

return arr.reduce((aggregator, value, index, array) => {

You can simplify this a bit by extending your arrays with a count function. It works similar to Ruby’s Array#count, if you’re familiar with it.
Array.prototype.count = function(obj){
var count = this.length;
if(typeof(obj) !== "undefined"){
var array = this.slice(0), count = 0; // clone array and reset count
for(i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
if(array[i] == obj){ count++ }
}
}
return count;
}
Usage:
let array = ['a', 'b', 'd', 'a', 'c'];
array.count('a'); // => 2
array.count('b'); // => 1
array.count('e'); // => 0
array.count(); // => 5

Edit
You can then get your first array, with each occurred item, using Array#filter:
let occurred = [];
array.filter(function(item) {
if (!occurred.includes(item)) {
occurred.push(item);
return true;
}
}); // => ["a", "b", "d", "c"]
And your second array, with the number of occurrences, using Array#count into Array#map:
occurred.map(array.count.bind(array)); // => [2, 1, 1, 1]
Alternatively, if order is irrelevant, you can just return it as a key-value pair:
let occurrences = {}
occurred.forEach(function(item) { occurrences[item] = array.count(item) });
occurences; // => {2: 5, 4: 1, 5: 3, 9: 1}
