JavaScript: Chop a string into chunks of a specific length
JavaScript String: Exercise-17 with Solution
Write a JavaScript function to chop a string into chunks of a given length.
Test Data:
console.log(string_chop('w3resource'));
console.log(string_chop('w3resource',2));
console.log(string_chop('w3resource',3));
["w3resource"]
["w3", "re", "so", "ur", "ce"]
["w3r", "eso", "urc", "e"]
Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:-
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>chop a string into chunks of a given length</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript Code:
string_chop = function(str, size){
if (str == null) return [];
str = String(str);
size = ~~size;
return size > 0 ? str.match(new RegExp('.{1,' + size + '}', 'g')) : [str];
}
console.log(string_chop('w3resource'));
console.log(string_chop('w3resource',2));
console.log(string_chop('w3resource',3));
Sample Output:
["w3resource"] ["w3","re","so","ur","ce"] ["w3r","eso","urc","e"]

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
var functionName = function() {} vs function functionName() {}
The difference is that functionOne is a function expression and so only defined when that line is reached, whereas functionTwo is a function declaration and is defined as soon as its surrounding function or script is executed (due to hoisting).
For example, a function expression:
// TypeError: functionOne is not a function functionOne(); var functionOne = function() { console.log("Hello!"); };
Historically, function declarations defined within blocks were handled inconsistently between browsers. Strict mode (introduced in ES5) resolved this by scoping function declarations to their enclosing block.
'use strict'; { // note this block! function functionThree() { console.log("Hello!"); } } functionThree(); // ReferenceError
