JavaScript: Compute the absolute difference between a specified number and 19
JavaScript Basic: Exercise-17 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to compute the absolute difference between a specified number and 19. Returns triple their absolute difference if the specified number is greater than 19.
Sample Solution:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<title>JavaScript program to compute the absolute difference between a specified number and 19. Returns triple their absolute difference if the specified number is greater than 19.</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript Code:
function diff_num(n) {
if (n <= 19) {
return (19 - n);
}
else
{
return (n - 19) * 3;
}
}
console.log(diff_num(12));
console.log(diff_num(19));
console.log(diff_num(22));
Sample Output:
7 0 9
Flowchart:

ES6 Version:
function diff_num(n) {
if (n <= 19) {
return (19 - n);
}
else
{
return (n - 19) * 3;
}
}
console.log(diff_num(12));
console.log(diff_num(19));
console.log(diff_num(22));

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
Checks if a string is an anagram of another string (case-insensitive, ignores spaces, punctuation and special characters)
Example:
const isAnagram = (str1, str2) => { const normalize = str => str .toLowerCase() .replace(/[^a-z0-9]/gi, '') .split('') .sort() .join(''); return normalize(str1) === normalize(str2); }; console.log(isAnagram('iceman', 'cinema')); // true
Output:
true
