In this exercise you will apply:
- Array iteration tecniques
- Using functions to manipulate and transform arrays
Manipulating arrays in code is a very common operation. Whether you're creating a total for a shopping cart, grabbing only the first names out of a list of people, or moving a piece on a chessboard, you're probably going to be modifying or manipulating an array in some way.
Let's put this into practice. Usehttps://repl.it/ to complete the following exercises with your partner.
- Fork this repo
- Clone this repo into your
~/code/labs - Write your code in the js file provided in the
starter-code
Upon completion, run the following commands
$ git add .$ git commit -m "done"$ git push origin masterNavigate to your repo and create a Pull Request -from your master branch to the original repository master branch.
In the Pull request name, add your name and last names separated by a dash "-"
A single JavaScript file will be enough for now.
Define a functionmaxOfTwoNumbers that takes two numbers as arguments and returns the largest.
Starter Code
functionmaxOfTwoNumbers(first,second){// Your Code Here}varlargest=maxOfTwoNumbers(2,6);console.log(largest);// 6
Write a functionfindLongestWord that takes an array of words and returns the length of the longest one.
Starter Code
varwords=["mystery","brother","aviator","crocodile","pearl","orchard","crackpot"];varlongest=findLongestWord(words);console.log(longest);// crocodile
Calculating a sum is as simple as iterating over an array and adding each of the elements together.
Semanticallyreduce is the best method to use for this, but you can use any loop we've discussed so far.
Calculate the sum of the following array:
varnumbers=[6,12,1,18,13,16,2,1,8,10];
Starter Code
functionsumArray(array){// Your Code here}vartotal=sumArray(numbers);// 87
Calculating an average is an extremely common task. Let's practice it a bit.
Algorithm
- Find the sum as we did in the first exercise
- Take the sum from step 1, and divide it by the number of elements in the list.
Write code to calculate the average of the following array:
varnumbers=[2,6,9,10,7,4,1,9];

Calculating a sum is as simple as iterating over an array and adding each of the elements together.

Calculate the sum of the following array:

Calculating an average is an extremely common task. Let's practice it a bit.
Algorithm
- Find the sum as we did in the first exercise
- Take the sum from step 1, and divide it by the number of elements in the list.
Write code to calculate the average of the following array:
varnumbers=[2,6,9,10,7,4,1,9];
Starter Code
functionaverageNumbers(array){// Your code here}varaverage=averageNumbers(numbers);console.log(average);// 6
Write code to calculate the averagelength of the strings inside of the following array:
varwords=["seat","correspond","linen","motif","hole","smell","smart","chaos","fuel","palace"];
Starter Code
functionaverageWordLength(array){// Your code here}varaverageLength=averageNumbers(words);console.log(averageLength);// 5.3
Take the following array, remove the duplicates, and return a new array. You're more than likely going to want to check out theindexOf function.
Do this in the form of a function.
Starter Code
functionuniquifyArray(array){// Your code here}varwords=["crab","poison","contagious","simple","bring","sharp","playground","poison","communion","simple","bring"];varuniqued=uniquifyArray(words);console.log(uniqued);// ["crab", "poison", "contagious", "simple", "bring", "sharp", "playground", "communion"]
Let's create a simple array search.
Write a function that will take in an array of words as one argument, and a word to search for as the other. Returntrue if it exists, otherwise returnfalse.Don't useindexOf for this one. :)
Starter Code
varwords=["machine","subset","trouble","starting","matter","eating","truth","disobedience"];varhasMatter=doesWordExist(words,"matter");console.log(hasMatter);// truevarhasDog=doesWordExist(words,"dog");console.log(hasDog);// false
Write a function that will take in an array of words as one argument, and a word to search for as the other. The function will return the number of times that word appears in the array.
Starter Code
varwords=["machine","matter","subset","trouble","starting","matter","eating","matter","truth","disobedience""matter"];varhowManyMatter=howManyTimes(words,"matter");console.log(howManyMatter);// 4varhowManyDog=howManyTimes(words,"dog");console.log(howManyDog);// 0
In the 20×20 grid below; What is the greatest product of four adjacent numbers in the same direction (up, down, left, right)?
