List of Javascript fun Questions

Some are very basic programming questions that are designed to show how a person thinks.


Remove overlapping matches in Array

Givven an array of numbers, and a size parameter, the getNotOverlapping is expected to return a new array with equal or less item, which their values do not overlap in accordance to the size variable.

function getNotOverlapping(arr, size){  
}

console.log(
  getNotOverlapping([0,1,2,3], 1), // 0,1,2,3
  getNotOverlapping([0,1,2,3], 2)  // 0,2
)
See Answer 
[1, 2, 3, 4].reduce((acc, item, idx) =>  
idx === 0 || acc[acc.length-1] + size <= item ?
    [...acc, item]
    : acc, [])

See Answer 
[...new Array(5)].map((_, idx) => idx)

Remove empty elements from Array

[1,2,null,undefined,3,,"3",,NaN,0,,,true,false, {}]
See Answer 
.filter(Boolean)

Make Array.indexOf() case insensitive

See Answer

Limit a number to be between 0 & 100

See Answer 
Math.max(0, Math.min(100, num))

Get the avarage of a number's digits

See Answer

https://stackoverflow.com/a/18234568/104380

'1234'.split('').reduce((result, digit, idx, arr) => 
    (result + +digit)/(idx == arr.length-1 ? arr.length : 1)
, 0)

Or:

let num = '12345';
let sum = 0

for( let d of num )
  sum += +d

console.log(sum/num.length) // 3

Check if an array contains only numbers

See Answer 
![1,2,"3"].some(item => typeof item !== "number")

	console.log(this.name)
}

Example.prototype.destroy = function(){
	...
}

const example = new Example('foo')

// ES2015 "flat":
arr.flat();

1201977 => [[1,2], [2,1], [0,1], [9,1], [7,2]]

Check number for duplicate digits

[1, 10, 11, 1010, 1981] => [false, false, true, true, true]

What would be the output of this?
