JavaScript: Create a new array out of the two supplied by creating each possible pair from the arrays

JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-25 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to create a new array out of the two supplied by creating each possible pair from the arrays.

  • Use Array.prototype.reduce(), Array.prototype.map() and Array.prototype.concat() to produce every possible pair from the elements of the two arrays.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2 
const xProd = (a, b) => a.reduce((acc, x) => acc.concat(b.map(y => [x, y])), []);
console.log(xProd([1, 2], ['a', 'b']));
console.log(xProd([1, 2], [1, 2]));
console.log(xProd(['a', 'b'], ['a', 'b']));

Sample Output:

[[1,"a"],[1,"b"],[2,"a"],[2,"b"]]
[[1,1],[1,2],[2,1],[2,2]]
[["a","a"],["a","b"],["b","a"],["b","b"]]

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]]
