Tools and Techniques to learn for the Rithm School interview & main class
var arr = [1,2,3];
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
console.log(`${arr[i]} is at index ${i}`);
}
// 1 is at index 0.
// 2 is at index 1.
// 3 is at index 2.
var str = 'Woof';
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
console.log(`${str[i]} is at index ${i}.`);
}
// W is at index 0.
// o is at index 1.
// o is at index 2.
// f is at index 3.
Array.prototype.forEach
var str = 'hello world';
str.split(' ').forEach(function(element, index) {
console.log(`${arr[i]} is at index ${i}`);
});
// hello is at index 0.
// world is at index 1.
For arrays when you want to method-chain
var arr = [1,2,3];
for (let val of arr) {
console.log(`The value is ${val}`);
}
// The value is 1
// The value is 2
// The value is 3
var str = 'OOP';
for (let char of str) {
console.log(`The letter is "${char}".`);
}
// The letter is "O".
// The letter is "O".
// The letter is "P".
For strings and arrays when you don't care about the index.
var obj = { day1: "Matt", day2: "Elie", day3: "Joel", day4: "Michael" };
for (let key in obj) {
console.log(`${obj[key]} teaches on ${key}.`);
}
// Matt teaches on day1.
// Elie teaches on day2.
// Joel teaches on day3.
// Michael teaches on day4.
For iterating through objects.
function isPalindrome(str) {
let left = 0;
let right = str.length - 1;
while (left < right) {
if (str[left] !== str[right]) {
return false;
}
left++;
right--;
}
return true;
}
For the most custom control.
typeof [] === 'object'
You need to use a special method to check for em:
Array.isArray()
Also be able to use the += operator to append new values to strings.
