JavaScript: Get the highest index at which value should be inserted into array in order to maintain its sort order
JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-141 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.
- Loosely check if the array is sorted in descending order.
- Use Array.prototype.reverse() and Array.prototype.findIndex() to find the appropriate last index where the element should be inserted.
Sample Solution:
JavaScript Code:
//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2
const sortedLastIndex = (arr, n) => {
const isDescending = arr[0] > arr[arr.length - 1];
const index = arr.reverse().findIndex(el => (isDescending ? n <= el : n >= el));
return index === -1 ? 0 : arr.length - index;
};
console.log(sortedLastIndex([10, 20, 30, 30, 40], 30));
Sample Output:
4

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
Chunks an array into n smaller arrays
Example:
const tips_chunkIntoN = (arr, n) => { const size = Math.ceil(arr.length / n); return Array.from({ length: n }, (v, i) => arr.slice(i * size, i * size + size) ); } console.log(tips_chunkIntoN([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8], 4));
Output:
[[1,2],[3,4],[5,6],[7,8]]
