I have a string with multiple delimiters to change the string further.
How can I get those substrings?
Here is the string:
let string = 'Dear user,
Due to #userinput-reason#, your ward client will travel on #userinput-newtransit#
instead of the regular transit #userinput-regulartransit#.';
From the above string, I need set of all substrings in between # s.
Required output:
let substring = [ 'userinput-reason', 'userinput-newtransit', 'userinput-regulartransit' ]
Thank you.
let str = 'Dear user, Due to #userinput-reason#, your ward client will travel on #userinput-newtransit# instead of the regular transit #userinput-regulartransit#.';
let strings = [];
let indexStart;
let indexEnd;
for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
if (str[i] == '#') {
indexStart = i + 1;
if (indexStart >= 0) {
for (let j = i + 1; j < str.length; j++) {
if (str[j] == '#') {
indexEnd = j ;
let stringExtracted = str.substring(indexStart, indexEnd);
strings.push(stringExtracted); }
}
}
}
}
console.log(strings);
Do it with regex:
let a = 'Dear user, Due to #userinput-reason#, your ward client will travel on #userinput-newtransit# instead of the regular transit #userinput-regulartransit#.';
let arr = a.match(/(?!#)(\w|-)+(?=#)/g);
console.log(arr);
let str = 'Dear user, Due to #userinput-reason#, your ward client will travel on #userinput-newtransit# instead of the regular transit #userinput-regulartransit#.';
let strings = [];
let temp = "";
let append = false;
for(let i = 0; i< str.length; i++){
if(append == true && str[i] != '#'){
temp += str[i];
}
if(str[i] == '#' && append == false){
// mark the starting of the token
append = true;
}
else if (append == true && str[i] == "#"){
// mark the end of the token
append = false;
strings.push(temp);
temp = "";
}
}
console.log(strings)
The idea is to complete the function and produce a compressed form of the string given. An example would be if the given string was aabbcc then you would get a2b2c2
The issue with the code I created is for some reason it does not work with anything right away that is consecutive or consecutive letters at the end. wwww turns into w4 but aa does not turn into a2 and wuenuneubgnjfniwfibwiebfaaa will not turn into wuenuneubgnjfniwfibwiebfa3
function compressedString(message) {
let out = '';
let count = 1;
for (let i = 0; i < message.length; i++) {
let current = message[i];
let next = message[i + 1];
if (current == next) {
count++;
} else {
out += current + String(count);
count = 1;
}
}
}
I test your algorithm, using given example of your question wuenuneubgnjfniwfibwiebfaaa, the output was w1u1e1n1u1n1e1u1b1g1n1j1f1n1i1w1f1i1b1w1i1e1b1f1a3, what sounds strange for the string compression requirement. When I add a nested condition inner first else in for loop, I acquired the correct result, please view the code bellow and let what do you think about:
function compressedString(message) {
let out = '';
let count = 1;
for (let i = 0; i < message.length; i++) {
let current = message[i];
let next = message[i + 1];
if (current == next) {
count++;
} else {
if(count == 1){
out += current;
}else{
out += current + String(count);
}
count = 1;
}
}
return out;
}
Your issue is the way you are handling it in the end. What happens to the variable next when the loop is on the last iteration? You need to add an extra check on your if.
Try this:
function compressedString(message) {
let out = '';
let count = 1;
for (var i = 0; i < message.length; i++){
let current = message[i];
let next = message[i + 1];
if ( i < message.length-1 && message[i] == next) {
count += 1;
} else {
out += current + String(count);
count = 1;
}
}
return out;
}
I have below test cases in which i need to classify the correct expression in javascript.
(a) correct
((a)) correct
(a(b)) correct
(b) correct
(b incorrect
You can see the last one is incorrect expression. How can we achieve this through javascript ?
To handle other types of brackets - {}, [] and the ():
function matchBrackets(s) {
let x = "";
let c = [];
let ok = true;
for (let i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
x = s.substr(i, 1);
switch (x) {
case "{":
c.unshift("}");
break;
case "[":
c.unshift("]");
break;
case "(":
c.unshift(")");
break;
case "}":
if (c[0] == "}") {
c.shift();
} else {
ok = false;
}
break;
case "]":
if (c[0] == "]") {
c.shift();
} else {
ok = false;
}
break;
case ")":
if (c[0] == ")") {
c.shift();
} else {
ok = false;
}
break;
}
if (!ok) {
break;
}
}
if (c.length > 0) {
ok = false;
}
return ok;
}
let tocheck = [];
tocheck.push("a(b][}c");
tocheck.push("a(bc");
tocheck.push("a)(bc");
tocheck.push("a(b)[c]{(d)}");
tocheck.push("(a)");
tocheck.push("((a))");
tocheck.push("(a(b))");
tocheck.push("(b)");
tocheck.push("(b");
tocheck.push("))a((");
for (let i = 0; i < tocheck.length; i++) {
console.log(tocheck[i] + ": " + matchBrackets(tocheck[i]));
}
This works in a similar way to the others but ensures that a closing bracket of any type must match with the last opening bracket of the same type.
A slightly edited answer from this link
function check(expr){
const holder = []
const openBrackets = ['(']
const closedBrackets = [')']
for (let letter of expr) { // loop trought all letters of expr
if(openBrackets.includes(letter)){ // if its oppening bracket
holder.push(letter)
}else if(closedBrackets.includes(letter)){ // if its closing
const openPair = openBrackets[closedBrackets.indexOf(letter)] // find his pair
if(holder[holder.length - 1] === openPair){ // check if that pair is last element in array
holder.splice(-1,1) //if so, remove it
}else{ // if its not
holder.push(letter)
break // exit loop
}
}
}
if(holder.length === 0)
{
console.log("correct");
}
else{
console.log("incorrect");
}
}
check('(a)') /// give the string you want to check here
You will need to use a simple stack to store the opening parenthesis. Here is a brief explanation:
Convert the string into an array of characters
Create an empty stack
Iterate over each character:
if the character is not a parenthesis, continue to the next iteration
if it's an opening parenthesis, store it in the stack
if it's a closing parenthesis, then there are two possibilities:
if there are no corresponding opening parenthesis for it in the stack, then the string is not valid
if there is, then, pop the corresponding opposite parenthesis and continue normally
let t1 = '(a)', t2 = '((b))', t3 = '(a(b))', t4 = '(b';
const isValid = (str) => {
let characters = str.split('');
let stack = [];
for(let i = 0; i < characters.length; i++){
let c = characters[i];
if(c !== '(' && c !== ')')
continue;
else if(c === '(')
stack.push(c);
else if(c === ')'){
if(stack.length==0)
return false;
else
stack.pop();
}
}
return stack.length==0;
}
console.log(isValid(t1));
console.log(isValid(t2));
console.log(isValid(t3));
console.log(isValid(t4));
If they want to check strings, then I would just loop over the string. I would have a variable (characterCount) that adds one for every '(' character and subtract one for every ')'. If the end result is 0, then it's correct formatting.
EDIT: I also need to check if characterCount is ever negative, which means that there is an incorrect formatting.
If it's an interview, ask them to clarify. Programmers that ask are more valuable than programmers that assume (and spend hours of valuable time coding wrong functionality).
function checkFormatting(str) {
const END_CHARACTER_BEFORE_START_CHARACTER = CORRECT_FORMATTING = 0;
let characterCount = CORRECT_FORMATTING;
let startCharacter = '(';
let endCharacter = ')';
for(let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
characterCount += Number(str[i] == startCharacter); // +1 if true
characterCount -= Number(str[i] == endCharacter); // -1 if false
if (characterCount < END_CHARACTER_BEFORE_START_CHARACTER) { // EDIT
console.log(str, false);
return false;
}
}
console.log(str, characterCount == CORRECT_FORMATTING);
return characterCount == CORRECT_FORMATTING;
}
checkFormatting('(a)'); // true
checkFormatting('((a))'); // true
checkFormatting('(a(b))'); // true
checkFormatting('(b)'); // true
checkFormatting('(b'); // false
checkFormatting('))a(('); // false
I have a string with repeated letters. I want letters that are repeated more than once to show only once.
Example input: aaabbbccc
Expected output: abc
I've tried to create the code myself, but so far my function has the following problems:
if the letter doesn't repeat, it's not shown (it should be)
if it's repeated once, it's show only once (i.e. aa shows a - correct)
if it's repeated twice, shows all (i.e. aaa shows aaa - should be a)
if it's repeated 3 times, it shows 6 (if aaaa it shows aaaaaa - should be a)
function unique_char(string) {
var unique = '';
var count = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < string.length; i++) {
for (var j = i+1; j < string.length; j++) {
if (string[i] == string[j]) {
count++;
unique += string[i];
}
}
}
return unique;
}
document.write(unique_char('aaabbbccc'));
The function must be with loop inside a loop; that's why the second for is inside the first.
Fill a Set with the characters and concatenate its unique entries:
function unique(str) {
return String.prototype.concat.call(...new Set(str));
}
console.log(unique('abc')); // "abc"
console.log(unique('abcabc')); // "abc"
Convert it to an array first, then use Josh Mc’s answer at How to get unique values in an array, and rejoin, like so:
var nonUnique = "ababdefegg";
var unique = Array.from(nonUnique).filter(function(item, i, ar){ return ar.indexOf(item) === i; }).join('');
All in one line. :-)
Too late may be but still my version of answer to this post:
function extractUniqCharacters(str){
var temp = {};
for(var oindex=0;oindex<str.length;oindex++){
temp[str.charAt(oindex)] = 0; //Assign any value
}
return Object.keys(temp).join("");
}
You can use a regular expression with a custom replacement function:
function unique_char(string) {
return string.replace(/(.)\1*/g, function(sequence, char) {
if (sequence.length == 1) // if the letter doesn't repeat
return ""; // its not shown
if (sequence.length == 2) // if its repeated once
return char; // its show only once (if aa shows a)
if (sequence.length == 3) // if its repeated twice
return sequence; // shows all(if aaa shows aaa)
if (sequence.length == 4) // if its repeated 3 times
return Array(7).join(char); // it shows 6( if aaaa shows aaaaaa)
// else ???
return sequence;
});
}
Using lodash:
_.uniq('aaabbbccc').join(''); // gives 'abc'
Per the actual question: "if the letter doesn't repeat its not shown"
function unique_char(str)
{
var obj = new Object();
for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++)
{
var chr = str[i];
if (chr in obj)
{
obj[chr] += 1;
}
else
{
obj[chr] = 1;
}
}
var multiples = [];
for (key in obj)
{
// Remove this test if you just want unique chars
// But still keep the multiples.push(key)
if (obj[key] > 1)
{
multiples.push(key);
}
}
return multiples.join("");
}
var str = "aaabbbccc";
document.write(unique_char(str));
Your problem is that you are adding to unique every time you find the character in string. Really you should probably do something like this (since you specified the answer must be a nested for loop):
function unique_char(string){
var str_length=string.length;
var unique='';
for(var i=0; i<str_length; i++){
var foundIt = false;
for(var j=0; j<unique.length; j++){
if(string[i]==unique[j]){
foundIt = true;
break;
}
}
if(!foundIt){
unique+=string[i];
}
}
return unique;
}
document.write( unique_char('aaabbbccc'))
In this we only add the character found in string to unique if it isn't already there. This is really not an efficient way to do this at all ... but based on your requirements it should work.
I can't run this since I don't have anything handy to run JavaScript in ... but the theory in this method should work.
Try this if duplicate characters have to be displayed once, i.e.,
for i/p: aaabbbccc o/p: abc
var str="aaabbbccc";
Array.prototype.map.call(str,
(obj,i)=>{
if(str.indexOf(obj,i+1)==-1 ){
return obj;
}
}
).join("");
//output: "abc"
And try this if only unique characters(String Bombarding Algo) have to be displayed, add another "and" condition to remove the characters which came more than once and display only unique characters, i.e.,
for i/p: aabbbkaha o/p: kh
var str="aabbbkaha";
Array.prototype.map.call(str,
(obj,i)=>{
if(str.indexOf(obj,i+1)==-1 && str.lastIndexOf(obj,i-1)==-1){ // another and condition
return obj;
}
}
).join("");
//output: "kh"
<script>
uniqueString = "";
alert("Displays the number of a specific character in user entered string and then finds the number of unique characters:");
function countChar(testString, lookFor) {
var charCounter = 0;
document.write("Looking at this string:<br>");
for (pos = 0; pos < testString.length; pos++) {
if (testString.charAt(pos) == lookFor) {
charCounter += 1;
document.write("<B>" + lookFor + "</B>");
} else
document.write(testString.charAt(pos));
}

return charCounter;
}
function findNumberOfUniqueChar(testString) {
var numChar = 0,

for (pos = 0; pos < testString.length; pos++) {

for (pos2 = 0; pos2 <= pos; pos2++) {
if (testString.charAt(pos) == testString.charAt(pos2)) {

}
}
if (numChar == 1) {

uniqueString = uniqueString + " " + testString.charAt(pos)
}
numChar = 0;
}
return uniqueChar;
}
var testString = prompt("Give me a string of characters to check", "");
var lookFor = "startvalue";
while (lookFor.length > 1) {
if (lookFor != "startvalue")
alert("Please select only one character");
lookFor = prompt(testString + "\n\nWhat should character should I look for?", "");
}
document.write("I found " + countChar(testString, lookFor) + " of the<b> " + lookFor + "</B> character");
document.write("<br><br>I counted the following " + findNumberOfUniqueChar(testString) + " unique character(s):");
document.write("<br>" + uniqueString)

Here is the simplest function to do that
function remove(text)
{
var unique= "";
for(var i = 0; i < text.length; i++)
{
if(unique.indexOf(text.charAt(i)) < 0)
{
unique += text.charAt(i);
}
}
return unique;
}
The one line solution will be to use Set. const chars = [...new Set(s.split(''))];
If you want to return values in an array, you can use this function below.
const getUniqueChar = (str) => Array.from(str)
.filter((item, index, arr) => arr.slice(index + 1).indexOf(item) === -1);
console.log(getUniqueChar("aaabbbccc"));
Alternatively, you can use the Set constructor.
const getUniqueChar = (str) => new Set(str);
console.log(getUniqueChar("aaabbbccc"));
Here is the simplest function to do that pt. 2
const showUniqChars = (text) => {
let uniqChars = "";
for (const char of text) {
if (!uniqChars.includes(char))
uniqChars += char;
}
return uniqChars;
};
const countUnique = (s1, s2) => new Set(s1 + s2).size
a shorter way based on #le_m answer
let unique=myArray.filter((item,index,array)=>array.indexOf(item)===index)
I have to make a function in JavaScript that removes all duplicated letters in a string. So far I've been able to do this: If I have the word "anaconda" it shows me as a result "anaconda" when it should show "cod". Here is my code:
function find_unique_characters( string ){
var unique='';
for(var i=0; i<string.length; i++){
if(unique.indexOf(string[i])==-1){
unique += string[i];
}
}
return unique;
}
console.log(find_unique_characters('baraban'));
We can also now clean things up using filter method:
function removeDuplicateCharacters(string) {
return string
.split('')
.filter(function(item, pos, self) {
return self.indexOf(item) == pos;
})
.join('');
}
console.log(removeDuplicateCharacters('baraban'));
Working example:
function find_unique_characters(str) {
var unique = '';
for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
if (str.lastIndexOf(str[i]) == str.indexOf(str[i])) {
unique += str[i];
}
}
return unique;
}
console.log(find_unique_characters('baraban'));
console.log(find_unique_characters('anaconda'));
If you only want to return characters that appear occur once in a string, check if their last occurrence is at the same position as their first occurrence.
Your code was returning all characters in the string at least once, instead of only returning characters that occur no more than once. but obviously you know that already, otherwise there wouldn't be a question ;-)
Just wanted to add my solution for fun:
function removeDoubles(string) {
var mapping = {};
var newString = '';
for (var i = 0; i < string.length; i++) {
if (!(string[i] in mapping)) {
newString += string[i];
mapping[string[i]] = true;
}
}
return newString;
}
With lodash:
_.uniq('baraban').join(''); // returns 'barn'
You can put character as parameter which want to remove as unique like this
function find_unique_characters(str, char){
return [...new Set(str.split(char))].join(char);
}
function find_unique_characters(str, char){
return [...new Set(str.split(char))].join(char);
}
let result = find_unique_characters("aaaha ok yet?", "a");
console.log(result);
//One simple way to remove redundecy of Char in String
var char = "aaavsvvssff"; //Input string
var rst=char.charAt(0);
for(var i=1;i<char.length;i++){
var isExist = rst.search(char.charAt(i));
isExist >=0 ?0:(rst += char.charAt(i) );
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(rst)); //output string : avsf
For strings (in one line)
removeDuplicatesStr = str => [...new Set(str)].join('');
For arrays (in one line)
removeDuplicatesArr = arr => [...new Set(arr)]
Using Set:
removeDuplicates = str => [...new Set(str)].join('');
Thanks to David comment below.
DEMO
function find_unique_characters( string ){
unique=[];
while(string.length>0){
var char = string.charAt(0);
var re = new RegExp(char,"g");
if (string.match(re).length===1) unique.push(char);
string=string.replace(re,"");
}
return unique.join("");
}
console.log(find_unique_characters('baraban')); // rn
console.log(find_unique_characters('anaconda')); //cod
var str = 'anaconda'.split('');
var rmDup = str.filter(function(val, i, str){
return str.lastIndexOf(val) === str.indexOf(val);
});
console.log(rmDup); //prints ["c", "o", "d"]
Please verify here: https://jsfiddle.net/jmgy8eg9/1/
Using Set() and destructuring twice is shorter:
const str = 'aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbcdeeeeefggggg';
const unique = [...new Set([...str])].join('');
console.log(unique);
Yet another way to remove all letters that appear more than once:
function find_unique_characters( string ) {
var mapping = {};
for(var i = 0; i < string.length; i++) {
var letter = string[i].toString();
mapping[letter] = mapping[letter] + 1 || 1;
}
var unique = '';
for (var letter in mapping) {
if (mapping[letter] === 1)
unique += letter;
}
return unique;
}
Live test case.
Explanation: you loop once over all the characters in the string, mapping each character to the amount of times it occurred in the string. Then you iterate over the items (letters that appeared in the string) and pick only those which appeared only once.
function removeDup(str) {
var arOut = [];
for (var i=0; i < str.length; i++) {
var c = str.charAt(i);
if (c === '_') continue;
if (str.indexOf(c, i+1) === -1) {
arOut.push(c);
}
else {
var rx = new RegExp(c, "g");
str = str.replace(rx, '_');
}
}
return arOut.join('');
}
I have FF/Chrome, on which this works:
var h={};
"anaconda".split("").
map(function(c){h[c] |= 0; h[c]++; return c}).
filter(function(c){return h[c] == 1}).
join("")
Which you can reuse if you write a function like:
function nonRepeaters(s) {
var h={};
return s.split("").
map(function(c){h[c] |= 0; h[c]++; return c}).
filter(function(c){return h[c] == 1}).
join("");
}
For older browsers that lack map, filter etc, I'm guessing that it could be emulated by jQuery or prototype...
This code worked for me on removing duplicate(repeated) characters from a string (even if its words separated by space)
Link: Working Sample JSFiddle
/* This assumes you have trim the string and checked if it empty */
function RemoveDuplicateChars(str) {
var curr_index = 0;
var curr_char;
var strSplit;
var found_first;
while (curr_char != '') {
curr_char = str.charAt(curr_index);
/* Ignore spaces */
if (curr_char == ' ') {
curr_index++;
continue;
}
strSplit = str.split('');
found_first = false;
for (var i=0;i<strSplit.length;i++) {
if(str.charAt(i) == curr_char && !found_first)
found_first = true;
else if (str.charAt(i) == curr_char && found_first) {
/* Remove it from the string */
str = setCharAt(str,i,'');
}
}
curr_index++;
}
return str;
}
function setCharAt(str,index,chr) {
if(index > str.length-1) return str;
return str.substr(0,index) + chr + str.substr(index+1);
}
Here's what I used - haven't tested it for spaces or special characters, but should work fine for pure strings:
function uniquereduce(instring){
outstring = ''
instringarray = instring.split('')
used = {}
for (var i = 0; i < instringarray.length; i++) {
if(!used[instringarray[i]]){
used[instringarray[i]] = true
outstring += instringarray[i]
}
}
return outstring
}
Just came across a similar issue (finding the duplicates). Essentially, use a hash to keep track of the character occurrence counts, and build a new string with the "one-hit wonders":
function oneHitWonders(input) {
var a = input.split('');
var l = a.length;
var i = 0;
var h = {};
var r = "";
while (i < l) {
h[a[i]] = (h[a[i]] || 0) + 1;
i += 1;
}
for (var c in h) {
if (h[c] === 1) {
r += c;
}
}
return r;
}
Usage:
var a = "anaconda";
var b = oneHitWonders(a); // b === "cod"
Try this code, it works :)
var str="anaconda";
Array.prototype.map.call(str,
(obj,i)=>{
if(str.indexOf(obj,i+1)==-1 && str.lastIndexOf(obj,i-1)==-1){
return obj;
}
}
).join("");
//output: "cod"
This should work using Regex ;
NOTE: Actually, i dont know how this regex works ,but i knew its 'shorthand' ,
so,i would have Explain to you better about meaning of this /(.+)(?=.*?\1)/g;.
this regex only return to me the duplicated character in an array ,so i looped through it to got the length of the repeated characters .but this does not work for a special characters like "#" "_" "-", but its give you expected result ; including those special characters if any
function removeDuplicates(str){
var REPEATED_CHARS_REGEX = /(.+)(?=.*?\1)/g;
var res = str.match(REPEATED_CHARS_REGEX);
var word = res.slice(0,1);
var raw = res.slice(1);
var together = new String (word+raw);
var fer = together.toString();
var length = fer.length;
// my sorted duplicate;
var result = '';
for(var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
if(result.indexOf(str[i]) < 0) {
result += str[i];
}
}
return {uniques: result,duplicates: length};
} removeDuplicates('anaconda')
The regular expression /([a-zA-Z])\1+$/ is looking for:
([a-zA-Z]]) - A letter which it captures in the first group; then
\1+ - immediately following it one or more copies of that letter; then
$ - the end of the string.
Changing it to /([a-zA-Z]).*?\1/ instead searches for:
([a-zA-Z]) - A letter which it captures in the first group; then
.*? - zero or more characters (the ? denotes as few as possible); until
\1 - it finds a repeat of the first matched character.
I have 3 loopless, one-line approaches to this.
Approach 1 - removes duplicates, and preserves original character order:
var str = "anaconda";
var newstr = str.replace(new RegExp("[^"+str.split("").sort().join("").replace(/(.)\1+/g, "").replace(/[.?*+^$[\]\\(){}|-]/g, "\\$&")+"]","g"),"");
//cod
Approach 2 - removes duplicates but does NOT preserve character order, but may be faster than Approach 1 because it uses less Regular Expressions:
var str = "anaconda";
var newstr = str.split("").sort().join("").replace(/(.)\1+/g, "");
//cdo
Approach 3 - removes duplicates, but keeps the unique values (also does not preserve character order):
var str = "anaconda";
var newstr = str.split("").sort().join("").replace(/(.)(?=.*\1)/g, "");
//acdno
function removeduplicate(str) {
let map = new Map();
// n
for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
if (map.has(str[i])) {
map.set(str[i], map.get(str[i]) + 1);
} else {
map.set(str[i], 1);
}
}
let res = '';
for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
if (map.get(str[i]) === 1) {
res += str[i];
}
}
// o (2n) - > O(n)
// space o(n)
return res;
}
If you want your function to just return you a unique set of characters in your argument, this piece of code might come in handy.
Here, you can also check for non-unique values which are being recorded in 'nonUnique' titled array:
function remDups(str){
if(!str.length)
return '';
var obj = {};
var unique = [];
var notUnique = [];
for(var i = 0; i < str.length; i++){
obj[str[i]] = (obj[str[i]] || 0) + 1;
}
Object.keys(obj).filter(function(el,ind){
if(obj[el] === 1){
unique+=el;
}
else if(obj[el] > 1){
notUnique+=el;
}
});
return unique;
}
console.log(remDups('anaconda')); //prints 'cod'
If you want to return the set of characters with their just one-time occurrences in the passed string, following piece of code might come in handy:
function remDups(str){
if(!str.length)
return '';
var s = str.split('');
var obj = {};
for(var i = 0; i < s.length; i++){
obj[s[i]] = (obj[s[i]] || 0) + 1;
}
return Object.keys(obj).join('');
}
console.log(remDups('anaconda')); //prints 'ancod'
function removeDuplicates(str) {
var result = "";
var freq = {};
for(i=0;i<str.length;i++){
let char = str[i];
if(freq[char]) {
freq[char]++;
} else {
freq[char] =1
result +=char;
}
}
return result;
}
console.log(("anaconda").split('').sort().join('').replace(/(.)\1+/g, ""));
By this, you can do it in one line.
output: 'cdo'
function removeDuplicates(string){
return string.split('').filter((item, pos, self)=> self.indexOf(item) == pos).join('');
}
the filter will remove all characters has seen before using the index of item and position of the current element
Method 1 : one Simple way with just includes JS- function
var data = 'sssssddddddddddfffffff';
var ary = [];
var item = '';
for (const index in data) {
if (!ary.includes(data[index])) {
ary[index] = data[index];
item += data[index];
}
}
console.log(item);
Method 2 : Yes we can make this possible without using JavaScript function :
var name = 'sssssddddddddddfffffff';
let i = 0;
let newarry = [];
for (let singlestr of name) {
newarry[i] = singlestr;
i++;
}
// now we have new Array and length of string
length = i;
function getLocation(recArray, item, arrayLength) {
firstLaction = -1;
for (let i = 0; i < arrayLength; i++) {
if (recArray[i] === item) {
firstLaction = i;
break;
}
}
return firstLaction;
}
let finalString = '';
for (let b = 0; b < length; b++) {
const result = getLocation(newarry, newarry[b], length);
if (result === b) {
finalString += newarry[b];
}
}
console.log(finalString); // sdf
// Try this way
const str = 'anaconda';
const printUniqueChar = str => {
const strArr = str.split("");
const uniqueArray = strArr.filter(el => {
return strArr.indexOf(el) === strArr.lastIndexOf(el);
});
return uniqueArray.join("");
};
console.log(printUniqueChar(str)); // output-> cod
function RemDuplchar(str)
{
var index={},uniq='',i=0;
while(i<str.length)
{
if (!index[str[i]])
{
index[str[i]]=true;
uniq=uniq+str[i];
}
i++;
}
return uniq;
}
We can remove the duplicate or similar elements in string using for loop and extracting string methods like slice, substring, substr
Example if you want to remove duplicate elements such as aababbafabbb:
var data = document.getElementById("id").value
for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
{
for(var j = i + 1; j < data.length; j++)
{
if(data.charAt(i)==data.charAt(j))
{
data = data.substring(0, j) + data.substring(j + 1);
j = j - 1;
console.log(data);
}
}
}
