JavaScript: Chunk an array into smaller arrays of a specified size
JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-265 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to chunk an array into smaller arrays of a specified size.
- Use Array.from() to create a new array, that fits the number of chunks that will be produced.
- Use Array.prototype.slice() to map each element of the new array to a chunk the length of size.
- If the original array can't be split evenly, the final chunk will contain the remaining elements.
Sample Solution:
JavaScript Code:
//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2
const chunk = (arr, size) =>
Array.from({ length: Math.ceil(arr.length / size) }, (v, i) =>
arr.slice(i * size, i * size + size)
);
console.log(chunk([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 2));
Sample Output:
[[1,2],[3,4],[5]]
