JavaScript: Generates all combinations of a string

Sample Solution: -

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>Combination of a string</title>
</head>
<body>
  
</body>
</html>

JavaScript Code:

//Write a JavaScript function that generates all combinations of a string.
function substrings(str1)
{
var array1 = [];
  for (var x = 0, y=1; x < str1.length; x++,y++) 
  {
   array1[x]=str1.substring(x, y);
    }
var combi = [];
var temp= "";
var slent = Math.pow(2, array1.length);

for (var i = 0; i < slent ; i++)
{
    temp= "";
    for (var j=0;j<array1.length;j++) {
        if ((i & Math.pow(2,j))){ 
            temp += array1[j];
        }
    }
    if (temp !== "")
    {
        combi.push(temp);
    }
}
  console.log(combi.join("\n"));
}

substrings("dog");

Sample Output:

d
o
do
g
dg
og
dog

JavaScript: Tips of the Day

Removes elements from the end of an array until the passed function returns true

Example:

const tips_RightWhile = (arr, func) =>
  arr.reduceRight((acc, el) => (func(el) ? acc : [el, ...acc]), []);

console.log(tips_RightWhile([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], n => n < 3));

Output:

[3, 4, 5, 6]
