Array Methods Javascript

Question 1

forEach Method

Answer 1

forEach method executes a provided function once for each array element

forEach will go through each number in the array and run the function.

const array1 = [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’];

array1.forEach(element => console.log(element));

// expected output: "a"
// expected output: "b"
// expected output: "c"

Question 2

Map Method

Answer 2

The map() method creates a new array populated with the results of calling a provided function on every element in the calling array.

Map() takes the array , does the functions and puts it into a new array.

const array1 = [1, 4, 9, 16];

// pass a function to map
const map1 = array1.map(x => x * 2);

console.log(map1);
// expected output: Array [2, 8, 18, 32]

Question 3

Filter Method

Answer 3

The filter() method creates a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.

const words = [‘spray’, ‘limit’, ‘elite’, ‘exuberant’, ‘destruction’, ‘present’];

const result = words.filter(word => word.length > 6);

console.log(result);
// expected output: Array ["exuberant", "destruction", "present"]

Question 4

Find Method

Answer 4

The find() method returns the value of the first element in the provided array that satisfies the provided testing function.

const array1 = [5, 12, 8, 130, 44];

const found = array1.find(element => element > 10);

console.log(found);
// expected output: 12

Question 5

Reduce Method

Answer 5

Reduce () method executes a reducer function (that you provide) on each element of the array, resulting in single output value.

const array1 = [1, 2, 3, 4];
const reducer = (accumulator, currentValue) => accumulator + currentValue;

// 1 + 2 + 3 + 4
console.log(array1.reduce(reducer));
// expected output: 10

// 5 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4
console.log(array1.reduce(reducer, 5));
// expected output: 15

Question 6

Some Method

Answer 6

Some() method tests whether at least one element in the array passes the test implemented by the provided function. It returns a Boolean value.

const array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// checks whether an element is even
const even = (element) => element % 2 === 0;

console.log(array.some(even));
// expected output: true

Question 7

Every Method

Answer 7

The every() method tests whether all elements in the array pass the test implemented by the provided function. It returns a Boolean value.

const isBelowThreshold = (currentValue) => currentValue < 40;

const array1 = [1, 30, 39, 29, 10, 13];

console.log(array1.every(isBelowThreshold));
// expected output: true
