JavaScript: Create an array of elements, grouped based on the position in the original arrays
JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-102 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to create an array of elements, grouped based on the position in the original array.
- Use Math.max(), Function.prototype.apply() to get the longest array in the arguments.
- Create an array with that length as return value and use Array.from() with a mapping function to create an array of grouped elements.
- If lengths of the argument arrays vary, undefined is used where no value could be found.
Sample Solution:
JavaScript Code:
//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2
const zip = (...arrays) => {
const maxLength = Math.max(...arrays.map(x => x.length));
return Array.from({ length: maxLength }).map((_, i) => {
return Array.from({ length: arrays.length }, (_, k) => arrays[k][i]);
});
};
console.log(zip(['a', 'b'], [1, 2], [true, false]));
console.log(zip(['a'], [1, 2], [true, false]));
Sample Output:
[["a",1,true],["b",2,false]] [["a",1,true],[null,2,false]]
