JavaScript: Initialize an array containing the numbers in the specified range where start and end are inclusive with their common difference step

JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-54 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to initialize an array containing the numbers in the specified range where start and end are inclusive with their common difference step.

  • Use Array.from() to create an array of the desired length.
  • Use (end - start + 1)/step and a map function to fill the array with the desired values in the given 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 initialize_Array_With_Range = (end, start = 0, step = 1) =>
  Array.from({ length: Math.ceil((end + 1 - start) / step) }).map((v, i) => i * step + start);

console.log(initialize_Array_With_Range(5)); 
console.log(initialize_Array_With_Range(8, 3));  
console.log(initialize_Array_With_Range(6, 0, 2));

Sample Output:

[0,1,2,3,4,5]
[3,4,5,6,7,8]
[0,2,4,6]

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]]
