This is going to be a long post, I'm practicing JavaScript functions with loops, and I got a lot of it but I'm stuck with the following cases:
1. A function that returns the number of even numbers of an array.
isEven([2,4,8,7])
3
isEven([1,9,66,"banana"])
1
I wrote this:
function isEven(arr) {
var count = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (arr[i] % 2 === 0) {
count++;
document.write(count);
}
}
}
But to me it just returns undefined I don't know why.
//Solved, I forgot to write the return statement with the right variable in place of document.write. the proper function would be:
function isEven(arr){
var count = 0;
for (var i; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (arr[i]%2 == 0){
count++
}
return count
}
}
2. I have to create a function which takes an array as argument, with a forEach loop which console.log each element and each index for every iteration inside the function. Also inside the function declare a variable called count, and increment it by one for each iteration then return count.
looper([2,4,8,7])
4
I wrote this function:
function looper(arr) {
arr.forEach(function console (item, index){
var count = 0;
count++;
console.log(("I am item ", item, "I am the index ", index));
return count;
})
}
But I get the following error:
VM76:5 Uncaught TypeError: console.log is not a function
at console (<anonymous>:5:17)
at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
at looper (<anonymous>:2:9)
at <anonymous>:1:1
How is it that console.log is not a function? isn't it prebuilded in every browser?
// Solved, Ihad to remove "console" and declare the variable count outside th forEach loop so it keeps the values while looping. Here would be it:
function looper(arr) {
var count = 0;
arr.forEach(function(item, index) {
count++;
console.log("I am item ", item, "I am the index ", index);
})
return count;
}
3. A function that takes an array as an argument and extracts all the strings of the array and puts them into a new array:
isString([3,55,66,"hello"])
["hello"]"// <====== EXPECTED OUTPUT
isString([3,55,66,"hello","beer",12,{},[],()=>{},"[]"])
["hello","beer","[]"] // <====== EXPECTED OUTPUT
//=========================================================
I wrote this:
function isString(arr){
if(typeof arr[i] === 'string'){
arr2.push(arr[i]);
}
}
But I get undefined I don't know why.
//Solved, again I had to declare the variable outside th forEach loop, and actually declare all variables I use. Here would be the solution:
function isString(arr){
var arr2 = [];
arr.forEach(el => {
if(typeof el === 'string'){
arr2.push(el);
}
});
return arr2;
}
4. A function that multiplies all elements of an array by two and returns them in a new array:
timesTwo([10,10,10])
[20,20,20]
timesTwo([5, 4,2])
[10,8,4]
timesTwo([15, 4,2])
[30,8,4]
Here is my code:
function timesTwo(array){
array.forEach(function multiplyByTwo(arrayElement){
arr2 = [];
var X = arrayElement * 2;
arr2.push(X);
});
return arr2;
console.log(arr2);
}
I'm just able to multiply the last element of the array I don't know how to multiply all of them I haven't been able to make it work better.
//Solved again, the variable has to be declared outside the forEach loop, otherwise it just keeps the last loop value:
function timesTwo(array){
arr2 = [];
array.forEach(function multiplyByTwo(arrayElement){
var X = arrayElement * 2;
arr2.push(X);
});
return arr2;
console.log(arr2);
}
5. A function that compares two arrays of the same length and returns the number of matches:
twoArrays([1,5,80], [10,5,80])
2
twoArrays([10,10,10], [10,10,5])
2
twoArrays([3,5], [1,4,5])
0
twoArrays([3,5], ['3','5'])
0
I was trying to write something but very random code I have no clue on how to get this working.
6. A function that takes a string as an argument, deletes all numbers, puts everything in lowercase and ads spaces:
`
lowerCaseLetters("An2323t2323one32llo123455Likes567323Play323ing567243G2323a3mes345")
"antonello likes playing games"
I know how to put everything in lowercase but I don't know how to remove the numbers other than using .slice() several times with each number, but I believe there has to be something more efficient, I also have no clue on how to add the spaces other than using shift to the specific places where there has to be an space, because that wouldn't work if the string changes. So i'm really lost.
7. A string that takes a full name and it returns just the first name and the first letter of the surname:
shortener("Ada lovelace")
"Ada L."
shortener("Antonello sanna")
"Antonello S."
I wrote this but I don't know how to affect just the surname and return the whole first name:
function getInitials(x){
var seperateWords = x.split(" ");
var acronym = "";
for (i = 0; i < seperateWords.length; i++){
acronym = (acronym + seperateWords[i].substr(0,1));
}
document.register.username2.value = toUpperCase(acronym);
}
8. A function that is a japanese budget tracker that returns the average expense per day in dollars being each element of the array in Japanese yens, so it has to convert it to dollars with the conversion rate 0.0089 dollars per yen:
var expenses = [
'10003',
'46733',
'45833',
'3534',
'57354',
'45334',
'34856'
]
budgetTracker(expenses)
310
I have no clue on how to do it.
And the last one:
9. A function that takes an array and a integer to indicate the minimum length as arguments and returns the last element from the array with length bigger than the minimum length:
let fruits = ['banana','kiwi','orange','apple','watermelon','pear']
longestString(fruits, 5)
'watermelon'
`
I also have no clue on how to do it.
So this are my issues and the things I need to learn, thanks to all of you in advance for the time and help. I'm starting right now with programming but I hope I can contribute here also and help others in the future, because I gotta learn first.
What I have tried:
1.//Solved, I forgot to write the return statement with the right variable in place of document.write. the proper function would be:
function isEven(arr){
var count = 0;
for (var i; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (arr[i]%2 == 0){
count++
}
}
return count;
}
2.// Solved, I had to remove "console" and declare the variable count outside th forEach loop so it keeps the values while looping. Here would be it:
function looper(arr) {
var count = 0;
arr.forEach(function(item, index) {
count++;
console.log("I am item ", item, "I am the index ", index);
})
return count;
}
3.//Solved, again I had to declare the variable outside th forEach loop, and actually declare all variables I use. Here would be the solution:
function isString(arr){
var arr2 = [];
arr.forEach(el => {
if(typeof el === 'string'){
arr2.push(el);
}
});
return arr2;
}
4.//Solved again, the variable has to be declared outside the forEach loop, otherwise it just keeps the last loop value:
function timesTwo(array){
arr2 = [];
array.forEach(function multiplyByTwo(arrayElement){
var X = arrayElement * 2;
arr2.push(X);
});
return arr2;
console.log(arr2);
}
5. I don't know how to start with this, it has to compare two arrays of the same length and return the number of matches,so the functions has to iterate trought the two arrays and check the element and the index, and then if those match add it to a new variable or create a count and increase it, Right? Maybe something like this would work?:
function twoArrays(array1, array2){
var count = o;
if (array1[i]=== array2[i]){
count++;
}
return count;
}
6.I know how to put everything in lowercase but I don't know how to remove the numbers other than using .slice() several times with each number, but I believe there has to be something more efficient, I also have no clue on how to add the spaces other than using shift to the specific places where there has to be an space, because that wouldn't work if the string changes. So i'm really lost.
7.I wrote this but I don't know how to affect just the surname and return the whole first name:
function getInitials(x){
var seperateWords = x.split(" ");
var acronym = "";
for (i = 0; i < seperateWords.length; i++){
acronym = (acronym + seperateWords[i].substr(0,1));
}
document.register.username2.value = toUpperCase(acronym);
}
