  var arr_char = str.split("");
  var result_arr = [];

  for (var i = 0; i < arr_char.length; i++) {
    if (str.indexOf(arr_char[i]) === str.lastIndexOf(arr_char[i]))
      result_arr.push(arr_char[i]);
    }

  return result_arr.join("");
}
console.log(remove_duplicate_cchars("abcdabc"));
console.log(remove_duplicate_cchars("python"));
console.log(remove_duplicate_cchars("abcabc"));
console.log(remove_duplicate_cchars("1365451"));

JavaScript: Tips of the Day

Returns the sum of the powers of all the numbers from start to end (both inclusive)

Example:

const sumPower = (end, power = 2, start = 1) =>
  Array(end + 1 - start)
    .fill(0)
    .map((x, i) => (i + start) ** power)
    .reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
console.log(sumPower(10)); // 385
console.log(sumPower(10, 3)); // 3025
console.log(sumPower(10, 3, 5)); // 2925

Output:

385
3025
2925
