2634. Filter Elements From Array
Given an integer array arr and a filtering function fn, return a new array with a fewer or equal number of elements.
The returned array should only contain elements where fn(arr[i], i) evaluated to a truthy value.
Please solve it without the built-in Array.filter method.
Example 1.
Input: arr = [0,10,20,30], fn = function greaterThan10(n) { return n > 10; }
Output: [20,30]
Explanation:
const newArray = filter(arr, fn); // [20, 30]
The function filters out values that are not greater than 10
Example 2
Input: arr = [1,2,3], fn = function firstIndex(n, i) { return i === 0; }
Output: [1]
Explanation:
fn can also accept the index of each element
In this case, the function removes elements not at index 0
Example 3
Input: arr = [-2,-1,0,1,2], fn = function plusOne(n) { return n + 1 }
Output: [-2,0,1,2]
Explanation:
Falsy values such as 0 should be filtered out
Approach
- given function should have 2 arguments
n
,index
- given function returns
Boolean
value if meet the requirements - when function returns
true
pushes elements to the filtered array
How i Solved the Problem
/**
* @param {number[]} arr
* @param {Function} fn
* @return {number[]}
*/
var filter = function (arr, fn) {
let filtered = [];
// Brutely filters array
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (fn(arr[i], i)) filtered.push(arr[i]);
}
return filtered;
};
