JavaScript: Initializes an array containing the numbers in the specified range (in reverse) where start and end are inclusive with their common difference step
JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-214 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to initialize an array containing the numbers in the specified range (in reverse) where start and end are inclusive of their common difference step.
- Use Array.from(Math.ceil((end+1-start)/step)) to create an array of the desired length(the amounts of elements is equal to (end-start)/step or (end+1-start)/step for inclusive end), Array.prototype.map() to fill with the desired values in a range.
- Omit the second argument, start, to use a default value of 0.
- Omit the last argument, step, to use a default value of 1.
Sample Solution:
JavaScript Code:
//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2
const initializeArrayWithRangeRight = (end, start = 0, step = 1) =>
Array.from({ length: Math.ceil((end + 1 - start) / step) }).map(
(v, i, arr) => (arr.length - i - 1) * step + start
);
console.log(initializeArrayWithRangeRight(5));
console.log(initializeArrayWithRangeRight(7, 3));
console.log(initializeArrayWithRangeRight(9, 0, 2));
Sample Output:
[5,4,3,2,1,0] [7,6,5,4,3] [8,6,4,2,0]
