JavaScript : Get the highest index at which value should be inserted into array in order to maintain its sort order, based on a provided iterator function
JavaScript: Exercise-140 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to get the highest index at which value should be inserted into array in order to maintain its sort order, based on a provided iterator function.
- Loosely check if the array is sorted in descending order.
- Use Array.prototype.map() to apply the iterator function to all elements of the array.
- Use Array.prototype.reverse() and Array.prototype.findIndex() to find the appropriate last index where the element should be inserted, based on the provided iterator function.
Sample Solution:
JavaScript Code:
//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2
const sortedLastIndexBy = (arr, n, fn) => {
const isDescending = fn(arr[0]) > fn(arr[arr.length - 1]);
const val = fn(n);
const index = arr
.map(fn)
.reverse()
.findIndex(el => (isDescending ? val <= el : val >= el));
return index === -1 ? 0 : arr.length - index;
};
console.log(sortedLastIndexBy([{ x: 4 }, { x: 5 }], { x: 4 }, o => o.x));
Sample Output:

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
Returns an array of n-tuples of consecutive elements
Example:
const tips_arr = (n, arr) => n > arr.length ? [] : arr.slice(n - 1).map((v, i) =>[...arr.slice(i, i + n - 1), v]); console.log(tips_arr(2, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])); console.log(tips_arr(3, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])); console.log(tips_arr(5, [1, 2, 3, 4]));
Output:
[[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4], [4, 5]] [[1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4], [3, 4, 5]] []
