JavaScript Exercises: Find the first index that matches a given element
JavaScript Singly Linked List: Exercise-8 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to find the first index that matches a given element. Return -1 for no matching.
Sample Solution:
JavaScript Code:
class Node {
constructor(data) {
this.data = data
this.next = null
}
}
class SinglyLinkedList {
constructor(Head = null) {
this.Head = Head
}
add(newNode){
let node = this.Head;
if(node==null){
this.Head = newNode;
return;
}
while (node.next) {
node = node.next;
}
node.next = newNode;
}
indexOf(data){
let ind = -1;
let node = this.Head;
while(node){
++ind;
if(node.data === data) return ind;
node = node.next;
}
return -1;
}
displayList(){
let node = this.Head;
var str = ""
while (node) {
str += node.data + "->";
node = node.next;
}
str += "NULL"
console.log(str);
}
}
let numList = new SinglyLinkedList();
numList.add(new Node(12));
numList.add(new Node(13));
numList.add(new Node(14));
numList.add(new Node(15));
numList.add(new Node(14));
numList.displayList();
console.log("Find the first index that matches the value 14:")
console.log(numList.indexOf(14))
console.log("Find the first index that matches the value 5:")
console.log(numList.indexOf(5))
Sample Output:
12->13->14->15->14->NULL Find the first index that matches the value 14: 2 Find the first index that matches the value 5: -1

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
Shorten an array using its length property
A great way of shortening an array is by redefining its length property.
let array = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 8, 9] array.length = 4 // Result: [0, 1, 2, 3]
Important to know though is that this is a destructive way of changing the array. This means you lose all the other values that used to be in the array.
