javascript check if array contains multiple elements in a row

I would like to know if its possible to search an array for multiple items which are in a row, something similar to below. I have done it with separate includes, but this does not allow me to tell if the elements are in a row or near each other.
The array is not sorted and the numbers have to be in a defined order. Near being in a row, specifically 3. So (23,34,45) being searched within (12,23,45,34) would be false.
Thanks
var num = [];
num.push(12,23,34,45,56,67,78,89,90);
if(num.includes(23,34,45)){
print('found');
}

One more way using ES6 Set() feature:
var arr = [12,23,34,12,45,56,67,78,89,90];
var set = new Set();
arr.forEach(function(i){ set.add(i) });
var foundCount = 0;
var func = function(a){
a.forEach(function(item) {
var oldLength = set.size;
set.add(item);
var newLength = set.size;
if(oldLength === newLength) {
foundCount++;
}
});
console.log('found ' + foundCount)
}
var arr2 = [12, 34, 45];
func(arr2);

This works, I hope I understood your question correctly.
function foo(num1, num2, num3, arr) {
var exists = false;
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
if(arr[i] == num1 && arr[i+1] == num2 && arr[i+2] == num3) {
exists = true;
}
}
console.log(exists);
}
var array = [12,23,34,45,56,67,78,89,90];
foo(23,34,45,array);

How to get longest substring from array of strings using javascript

I have array:
let arr = ["logerror", "log:today", "log:1"]
I am looking for function how to get longest substring from this items.
Result:
log
Another example:
let arr = ["dog+ěě+", "dog15qwqqq", "dogggggg"]
Result:
dog
Sure, I can write some algorithm, but is there any simple way?
How? Thanks

If you can phrase your question succinctly, you can often find what to search for. In this case, it looks like:
"Find the longest common substring from within an array of strings"
A quick google reveals an algorithm for finding the largest common substring between two strings:
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Algorithm_Implementation/Strings/Longest_common_substring
I don't want to copy the code as written there, as unsure of the copyright, but you could take the implementation and take something that will work with your array.
I would note that for large arrays, this may turn out to be a lengthy operation...

I used a simple approach:
It sorts the array using sort() method.
Then, the most important step is to look just at the first and last items.
function commonSubsequence(array){
let sortedArray = array.sort();
let first = sortedArray[0];
let last = sortedArray.pop();
let length = first.length;
let index = 0;
while(index<length && first[index] === last[index])
index++;
return first.substring(0, index);
}
console.log(commonSubsequence(["logerror", "log:today", "log:1"]));
console.log(commonSubsequence(["dog+ěě+", "dog15qwqqq", "dogggggg"]));

Here is my suggestion
function subStrArr(arr) {
let chars = arr[0].split(""), sub = "";
for (let i=0;i<chars.length;i++) {
for (let j=1;j<arr.length;j++) {
if (arr[j].indexOf(chars[i])==-1) return sub;
}
sub+=chars[i];
}
}
let arr1 = ["logerror", "log:today", "log:1"];
let arr2 = ["dog+ěě+", "dog15qwqqq", "dogggggg"];
console.log(subStrArr(arr1))
console.log(subStrArr(arr2))

After some looking around I went for the string-algorithms npm package, which did the job nicely for me.
From the docs:
import { longestCommonSubstring } from 'string-algorithms';
const strings = [
'12apple',
'3apple4',
'apple56'
];
console.log(longestCommonSubstring(strings));
produces the output apple.

without DP approach
var lcs = function (n, m) {
let lcs = 0 //to store longest common substring
let s1 = n.length
let s2 = m.length
for(let i = 0;i < s1;i++){
for(let j = 0; j< s2;j++){
let track = 0
//if letter are same, do while to check next letter
if(n[i] == m[j]){
while(i + track < s1 && j + track < s2 && n[i + track] == m[j + track]){
track += 1 // to track
if (lcs < track) {
lcs += 1
}
}
}
}
}
return lcs;
};
var m = "abcdxyz"
var n = "xyzabcd" // 4
// var m = "dadef"
// var n = "adwce"//2
// var m = "acdghr";
// var n = "bgh"; //2
// var m = "A"
// var n = "A" //1
console.log(lcs(m, n));

Remove data from an array comparing it to an other array

I am trying to compare the items in "item" array and the copyofOpList array to retrieve the data occurrences in copyofOpList
this is my try:
var _deleteUsedElement1 = function(item) {
for (var i = 0; i < item.length-1; i++){
for (var j = 0; j< $scope.copyofOpList.length-1; j++){
if (item[i].operationCode == $scope.copyofOpList[j].code) {
$scope.copyofOpList.splice(j, 1);
} } } };
$scope.compareArrays = function() {
...Get data from web Service
_deleteUsedElement1(item);
}
the copyofOpList array has 14 elements,and the item array has 2 array
but my code deletes only one occurrence (the first),so please how can I correct my code,to retrieve any occurances in the copyofOpList array comparing to the item array
thanks for help

I'd try to avoid looping inside a loop - that's neither a very elegant nor a very efficient way to get the result you want.
Here's something more elegant and most likely more efficient:
var item = [1,2], copyofOpList = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7];
var _deleteUsedElement1 = function(item, copyofOpList) {
return copyofOpList.filter(function(listItem) {
return item.indexOf(listItem) === -1;
});
};
copyofOpList = _deleteUsedElement1(item, copyofOpList);
console.log(copyofOpList);
//prints [3,4,5,6,7]
}
And since I just noticed that you're comparing object properties, here's a version that filters on matching object properties:
var item = [{opCode:1},{opCode:2}],
copyofOpList = [{opCode:1},{opCode:2},{opCode:3},{opCode:4},{opCode:5},{opCode:6},{opCode:7}];
var _deleteUsedElement1 = function(item, copyofOpList) {
var iOpCodes = item.map(function (i) {return i.opCode;});
return copyofOpList.filter(function(listItem) {
return iOpCodes.indexOf(listItem.opCode) === -1;
});
};
copyofOpList = _deleteUsedElement1(item, copyofOpList);
console.log(copyofOpList);
//prints [{opCode:3},{opCode:4},{opCode:5},{opCode:6},{opCode:7}]
Another benefit of doing it in this manner is that you avoid modifying your arrays while you're still operating on them, a positive effect that both JonSG and Furhan S. mentioned in their answers.

Splicing will change your array. Use a temporary buffer array for new values like this:
var _deleteUsedElement1 = function(item) {
var _temp = [];
for (var i = 0; i < $scope.copyofOpList.length-1; i++){
for (var j = 0; j< item.length-1; j++){
if ($scope.copyofOpList[i].code != item[j].operationCode) {
_temp.push($scope.copyofOpList[j]);
}
}
}
$scope.copyofOpList = _temp;
};

Array Splice - Javascript

Its a very small issue and for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. My brain has locked itself from thinking. I need someone else to have a look this code.
The output of the code should be: [1,0,0,0]
UPDATE:
The function should be able to read an array of numbers and if it finds any zeros within the array it should move them to the end of the array.
The output of the code keeps coming as: [0,1,0,0]
var arrNum = [0,0,0,1];
function test() {
for(var i=0; i<arrNum.length; i++){
if(arrNum[i] == 0){
arrNum.splice(i,1)
arrNum.splice(arrNum.length, 1, 0)
}
}
return alert(arrNum)
}
Here is a working plunker.
Apologies for this, I know the issue is something very small but my brain has stopped working now and I need a fresh pair of eyes.

With the way you have it written, you need to loop in the reverse order. You end up skipping indexes when you remove the index. Looping in the reverse direction keeps you from skipping them.
for(var i=arrNum.length-1; i>=0; i--){

You can use unshift() to insert at beginning of an array and push() to the end...
var arrNum = [0,0,0,1];
var output = [];
function test()
{
for(var i=0; i<arrNum.length; i++)
{
if(arrNum[i] == 0)
output.push(0);
else
output.unshift(arrNum[i]);
}
return alert(output)
}

var arrNum = [0,0,0,1];
var result = [];
arrNum.forEach(function(v) {
!!v ? result.unshift(v) : result.push(v);
});
console.log(result);

You are iterating with index i = 0,1,2,3 and at the same time removing first elements of array. So your iteration can not see the 1, it jumps over as it is moved to already iterated index. Easiest would be to just reverse the loop to bypass the issue.
var arrNum = [0,0,0,1];
function test() {
for(var i= arrNum.length; i >= 0; i--){
if(arrNum[i] == 0){
arrNum.splice(i,1)
arrNum.splice(arrNum.length, 1, 0)
}
}
return alert(arrNum)
}

Prefer built-in functions every time possible.
var output = [];
[0,0,0,1].forEach(function(num) {
if(num == 0) output.push(0);
else output.unshift(num)
})

Why don't you use a temporary array to help? The problem with your code is that the splice() function modifies the original array, and you are doing it inside the loop.
The code below produces what you need:
var arrNum = [0,0,0,1];
var arrResult = new Array();
function test() {
for(var i=arrNum.length-1; i>=0; i--)
{
arrResult.push(arrNum[i]);
}
arrNum = arrResult;
return alert(arrNum);
}
With another array to store the new values, you gain flexibility to do whatever you need with the data of the first array.

A nice little way using Objects - busy learning them so just posting a variation of deligation
var methods = {
moveZero: function(arr){
//console.log(arr);
var newArr = [];
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
if(arr[i] === 0){
newArr.push(arr[i]);
}else{
newArr.unshift(arr[i]);
}
}
console.log(newArr);
}
}
var arrNum = Object.create(methods);
arrNum.moveZero([0,0,50,56,85,0,0,43,10,0,1]);
JSFiddle - https://jsfiddle.net/ToreanJoel/qh0xztgc/1/

The problem was you are modifying an array while looping over it in if statement.
Here is a working plunker of your example.
var len = arrNum.length;
var index = 0;
while(len) {
if(arrNum[index] == 0) {
arrNum.splice(index,1);
arrNum.push(0);
} else {
++index;
}
--len;
}

As the operation you want to do is actually sorting, for readability and compactness of code maybe you should be doing this instead:
var arrNum = [0,1,0,0];
arrNum.sort(function(a, b) {
return a == 0 ? 1 : 0;
});
It can contain any number and will keep order of others than 0

Looping through array and output as pairs (divider for each second element)

I have an array with anonymous elements. Elements are added to the array via php, like so:
$playlist = array();
while (databaseloop) {
$playlist[] = $a_title;
$playlist[] = $a_length;
}
echo json_encode(array('playlist'=>$playlist));
So the array becomes:
["Hello.mp3", "00:00:14", "Byebye.mp3", "00:00:30", "Whatsup.mp3", "00:00:07", "Goodnight.mp3", "00:00:19"] and so on
Then I retrieve this array in jquery with ajax post. All that works fine.
Now, I'm looking for a way to treat/output all array elements as pairs in javascript/jquery. "do something" for each second element. Like this:
foreach (two_elements_in_array) {
// output track name
// output track time
// output some divider
}
How can this be done?

Well, maybe this is the most basic solution:
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i += 2) {
var title = arr[i];
var len = arr[i+1];
}
However, I would recommend you to arrange $playlist as follows:
while (databaseloop) {
$playlist[] = array(
"title" => $a_title,
"length" => $a_length
);
}
Then it will be easy to iterate the elements simply with:
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
var title = arr[i]['title'];
var len = arr[i]['length'];
}

You could split the array into an array of two-element arrays.
var arr = ["Hello.mp3", "00:00:14", "Byebye.mp3", "00:00:30", "Whatsup.mp3", "00:00:07", "Goodnight.mp3", "00:00:19"];
arr.map(function(elem,i,arr){return [elem, (i+1<arr.length) ? arr[i+1] : null];})
.filter(function(elem,i){return !(i%2);});

Using Array.prototype.reduce():
let pairs = playlist.reduce((list, _, index, source) => {
if (index % 2 === 0) {
list.push(source.slice(index, index + 2));
}
return list;
}, []);
This gives you a 2-dimensional array pairs to work with.

A simple for loop with an increment of two. You might want to make sure that your array length is long enough for i+1, in case the length isn't divisible by 2!
for (i = 0; i+1 < array.length; i+=2) {
name = array[i];
length = array[i+1];
}

var arr = ["Hello.mp3", "00:00:14", "Byebye.mp3", "00:00:30", "Whatsup.mp3", "00:00:07", "Goodnight.mp3", "00:00:19"];
var group = [];
for (var x = 0; x < arr.length; x += 2) {
var track = arr[x],
length = arr[x + 1];
group.push({
track: track,
length: length
})
}

I would suggest that you optimize your code a little bit more so that it would make a bit more sense and be less error prone, if that's possible that is.
This is also a great way to be more object-oriented!
Like this (I'm using jQuery here) :
var array = [ {name: "Hello.mp3", time: "00:00:14"}, {name: "Byebye.mp3", time:"00:00:30"}, {name: "Whatsup.mp3", time: "00:00:07"}, {name: "Goodnight.mp3", time: "00:00:19"}];
Then you would be able to loop over it and produce a bit more clean looking code
array.forEach(function(data){
//edit the output here
console.log(data.name + " " + data.time );
});

as #VisioN said it would be easier if you use associative array or else you can have a separated array of labels while iterating on the client side
var d=["Hello.mp3", "00:00:14", "Byebye.mp3", "00:00:30", "Whatsup.mp3", "00:00:07", "Goodnight.mp3", "00:00:19"] ;
var e=["name","time"];
var c=0;
$.each(d,function(i,j){
if(c>=2)c=0;
console.log(e[c]+j);
c++;
});

Destructive, but clean:
while (arr.length) {
const Title = arr.shift();
const Length = arr.shift();
// Do work.
}

Not with foreach.
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i += 2) {
var name = array[i];
var time = array[i + 1];
// do whatever
}
