CoffeeScript Function : Exercise-17 with Solution

Write a CoffeeScript function to compute the factors of a positive integer.

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <script src="//jashkenas.github.io/coffee-script/extras/coffee-script.js"></script>
  <title>Compute the factors of a positive integer</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

CoffeeScript Code:


factors = (n) ->
  num_factors = []
  i = undefined
  i = 1
  while i <= Math.floor(Math.sqrt(n))
    if n % i == 0
      num_factors.push i
      if n / i != i
        num_factors.push n / i
    i += 1
  num_factors.sort (x, y) ->
    x - y
  # numeric sort
  num_factors

console.log factors(15)
# [1,3,5,15] 
console.log factors(16)
# [1,2,4,8,16] 
console.log factors(17)
# [1,17]

Sample Output:

[1, 3, 5, 15]
[1, 2, 4, 8, 16]
[1, 17]
