JavaScript: Create an object with keys generated by running the provided function for each key and the same values as the provided object

JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-81 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to create an object with keys generated by running the provided function for each key and the same values as the provided object.

  • Use Object.keys() to iterate over the object's keys.
  • Use Array.prototype.reduce() to create a new object with the same values and mapped keys using fn.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2 
const mapKeys = (obj, fn) =>
  Object.keys(obj).reduce((acc, k) => {
    acc[fn(obj[k], k, obj)] = obj[k];
    return acc;
  }, {});
console.log(mapKeys({ a: 1, b: 2 }, (val, key) => key + val));

Sample Output:

{"a1":1,"b2":2}

Previous: Write a JavaScript program to implement the Luhn Algorithm used to validate a variety of identification numbers, such as credit card numbers, IMEI numbers, National Provider Identifier numbers etc.
Next: Write a JavaScript program to map the values of an array to an object using a function, where the key-value pairs consist of the original value as the key and the mapped value.

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]]
