Here is my array:
var array = [[0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1],
[1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0],
[0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[2,0,2,0,2,0,2,0],
[0,2,0,2,0,2,0,2],
[2,0,2,0,2,0,2,0]];
How can I search in this array of arrays using just javascript? For example, how would I search if there is a 3 in this array of arrays?
javascript search array of arrays didn't help me, I might be attempting it wrong:
var result;
for( var i = 0, len = model.board.length; i < len; i++ ) {
if( model.board[i][0] == 3 ) {
result = selected_products[i];
alert("found a 3 " + result);
}
}
Loop through each sub-list in array, then loop through each item in that sub-list:
var array = [[0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1],
[1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0],
[0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[2,0,2,0,2,0,2,0],
[0,2,0,2,0,2,0,2],
[2,0,2,0,2,0,2,0]];
function search(arr, item){
for(var i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
var sub = array[i];
for(var j = 0; j < sub.length; j++){
if(sub[j] == item){
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
document.write("Search for 3: " + search(array, 3), "<br>");
document.write("Search for 2: " + search(array, 2));
There are many ways, but here's one:
Note that some will short circuit as soon as true is returned.
//returns true if 3 is found or false otherwise
array.some(function (arr) {
return arr.indexOf(3) !== -1;
});
This pattern is easy to recurse if you wish to extend this to
n-dimensional structures – Paul S
Here's what he meant:
searchArray([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, [6, 7, [8]]]], 8);
function searchArray(arr, val) {
return arr.some(function (item) {
return Array.isArray(item)? searchArray(item, val) : item === val;
});
}
The currently accepted answer will only work on arrays with one array in it. This uses some tricks to get the values. This even works if the numbers are strings. And gets all numbers
var array = [[0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1],
[1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0],
[0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[2,0,2,0,2,0,2,0],
[0,2,0,2,0,2,0,2],
[2,0,2,0,2,0,2,0]];
function searchForNum(ar, num) {
return ar.toString().match(/[\d\-\.]+/g).indexOf(''+num) > -1;
}

Counting the occurrences / frequency of array elements
(39 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
Hello I want to ask how to find same number or string on array
The output must be a number or string
Example
var arr = [1,2,4,4,5,1,1,1,8,9]
Do we need to use loop , function?
You can create a frequency array. Admittedly this might not be the most efficient way.
You can use dictionaries for this. I hope you know what dictionaries are.
function fun(arr) {
var sval;
var dict = new Object();
for (var val in arr) {
sval = string(val)
if(dict[sval] === undefined) {
dict[sval] = 1;
}
else {
dict[sval]++;
}
}
var max_count = -5;
var max_count_num;
for (var key in dict) {
if (max_count < dict[key]) {
max_count = dict[key];
max_count_num = Number(key);
}
}
}
First you create an Object, which is for our purposes serves as a dictionary, then you iterate through the array. If the key is not found, hence undefined, then we create such entry, else we increment the value which is the count by 1.
We then loop through the dictionary trying to find the number with the maximum value, hence the maximum count.
I hope this is what you are looking for.
Please fix any errors in my code, I'm a bit rusty on JavaScript.
Iterate for each item on the array (i index), and iterate for each item for the rest of the array (j index, j = i+1), and create a count to any repetition of current item.
function maxRepeated(arr) {
// count global to keep the max value count
const maxRepeat = {
value: 0,
times: 0
};
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i++) {
var maxLocal = 1; // to count ar[i] item repetitions
for (var j = i + 1; j < arr.length; j++) {
if (arr[j] == arr[i]) maxLocal++;
console.log( maxLocal )
console.log( "I " + i + " arr[i] " + arr[i] )
}
// check if maxLocal is great than max global
if (maxLocal > maxRepeat.times) {
maxRepeat.value = arr[i];
maxRepeat.times = maxLocal;
}
}
return maxRepeat;
}
const ar = [1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 5, 1, 1, 1, 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 3];
const b = ["LUNA", "LUNA", "JS", "JS", "JS"];
//console.log(maxRepeated(ar))
console.log(maxRepeated(b))
I have a question . How do you retrieve elements that has no double value in an array?? For example: [1,1,2,2,3,4,4,5] then you retrieve [3,5] only.
Thanks in advance
for (var j = 0; j < newArr.length; j++) {
if ((arr1.indexOf(newArr[j]) === 0) && (arr2.indexOf(newArr[j]) === 0)) {
index = newArr.indexOf(j); newArr.splice(index, 1);
}
}
If the item in the array is unique then the index found from the beginning should equal the index found from the end, in other words:
var xs = [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5];
var result = xs.filter(function(x) {
return xs.indexOf(x) === xs.lastIndexOf(x);
});
console.log(result); //=> [3, 5]
sorry for the presentation its my first post !
You have to compare each element of your array to the others in order to get the number of occurence of each element
var tab = [1,1,2,2,3,4,4,5] //The array to analyze
tab = tab.sort(); // we sort the array
show(tab); // we display the array to the console (F12 to open it)
var uniqueElementTab = []; // this array will contain all single occurence
var sameElementCounter = 0;
for(x=0;x<tab.length;x++){ // for all element in the array
sameElementCounter = 0;
for(y=0;y<tab.length;y++){ // we compare it to the others
if((tab[x]==tab[y])){
sameElementCounter+=1; // +1 each time we meet the element elsewhere
}
}
if(sameElementCounter<=1){
uniqueElementTab.push(tab[x]); //if the element is unique we add it to a new array
}
}
show(uniqueElementTab); // display result
function show(tab) { // Simple function to display the content of an array
var st="";
for(i=0;i<tab.length;i++){
st += tab[i]+" ";
}
console.log(st+"\n");
}
Hope it helps.
Here is a simple "tricky" solution using Array.sort, Array.join, Array.map, String.replace and String.split functions:
var arr = [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5];
arr.sort();
var unique = arr.join("").replace(/(\d)\1+/g, "").split("").map(Number);
console.log(unique); // [3, 5]
create new array tmp,and check already value exist by indexOf .If existed delete by splice function..
var arr = [1,1,2,2,3,4,4,5];
var tmp = [];
var dup = [];
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
var ind = tmp.indexOf(arr[i]);
if(ind == -1){
if(dup.indexOf(arr[i]) == -1){
tmp.push(arr[i]);
}
}
else{
tmp.splice(ind,1);
dup.push(arr[i]);
}
}
console.log(tmp);
This would be my way of doing this job.
var arr = [1,1,2,2,3,4,4,5],
uniques = Object.keys(arr.reduce((p,c) => (c in p ? Object.defineProperty(p, c, {enumerable : false,
writable : true,
configurable : true})
: p[c] = c,
p), {}));
console.log(uniques);
A solution for unsorted arrays with a hash table for the items. Complexity O(2n)
var array = [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 1],
hash = Object.create(null),
single;
array.forEach(function (a, i) {
hash[a] = a in hash ? -1 : i;
});
single = array.filter(function (a, i) {
return hash[a] === i;
});
console.log(single);
If the array is sorted, you can solve this in O(n) (see "pushUniqueSinglePass" below):
function pushUniqueSinglePass(array, unique) {
var prev; // last element seen
var run = 0; // number of times it has been seen
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
if (array[i] != prev) {
if (run == 1) {
unique.push(prev); // "prev" appears only once
}
prev = array[i];
run = 1;
} else {
run++;
}
}
}
function pushUniqueWithSet(array, unique) {
var set = new Set();
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
set.add(array[i]);
}
for (let e of set) {
unique.push(set);
}
}
// Utility and test functions
function randomSortedArray(n, max) {
var array = [];
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
array.push(Math.floor(max * Math.random()));
}
return array.sort();
}
function runtest(i) {
var array = randomSortedArray(i, i / 2);
var r1 = [],
r2 = [];
console.log("Size: " + i);
console.log("Single-pass: " + time(
pushUniqueSinglePass, array, r1));
console.log("With set: " + time(
pushUniqueWithSet, array, r2));
// missing - assert r1 == r2
}
[10, 100, 1000, 10000,
100000, 1000000
].forEach(runtest);
function time(fun, array, unique) {
var start = new Date().getTime();
fun(array, unique);
return new Date().getTime() - start;
}
This is much more efficient than using maps or sorting (time it!). In my machine, a 1M sorted array can have its unique elements found in 18 ms; while the version that uses a set requires 10x more.
This question already has answers here:
In Javascript, how do I check if an array has duplicate values?
(9 answers)
Closed 10 months ago.
I wanted to write a javascript function which checks if array contains duplicate values or not.
I have written the following code but its giving answer as "true" always.
Can anybody please tell me what am I missing.
function checkIfArrayIsUnique(myArray)
{
for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++)
{
for (var j = 0; j < myArray.length; j++)
{
if (i != j)
{
if (myArray[i] == myArray[j])
{
return true; // means there are duplicate values
}
}
}
}
return false; // means there are no duplicate values.
}
An easy solution, if you've got ES6, uses Set:
function checkIfArrayIsUnique(myArray) {
return myArray.length === new Set(myArray).size;
}
let uniqueArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
console.log(`${uniqueArray} is unique : ${checkIfArrayIsUnique(uniqueArray)}`);
let nonUniqueArray = [1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
console.log(`${nonUniqueArray} is unique : ${checkIfArrayIsUnique(nonUniqueArray)}`);
let arr = [11,22,11,22];
let hasDuplicate = arr.some((val, i) => arr.indexOf(val) !== i);
// hasDuplicate = true
True -> array has duplicates
False -> uniqe array
This should work with only one loop:
function checkIfArrayIsUnique(arr) {
var map = {}, i, size;
for (i = 0, size = arr.length; i < size; i++){
if (map[arr[i]]){
return false;
}
map[arr[i]] = true;
}
return true;
}
You got the return values the wrong way round:
As soon as you find two values that are equal, you can conclude that the array is not unique and return false.
At the very end, after you've checked all the pairs, you can return true.
If you do this a lot, and the arrays are large, you might want to investigate the possibility of sorting the array and then only comparing adjacent elements. This will have better asymptotic complexity than your current method.
Assuming you're targeting browsers that aren't IE8,
this would work as well:
function checkIfArrayIsUnique(myArray)
{
for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++)
{
if (myArray.indexOf(myArray[i]) !== myArray.lastIndexOf(myArray[i])) {
return false;
}
}
return true; // this means not unique
}
Here's an O(n) solution:
function hasDupes(arr) {
/* temporary object */
var uniqOb = {};
/* create object attribute with name=value in array, this will not keep dupes*/
for (var i in arr)
uniqOb[arr[i]] = "";
/* if object's attributes match array, then no dupes! */
if (arr.length == Object.keys(uniqOb).length)
alert('NO dupes');
else
alert('HAS dupes');
}
var arr = ["1/1/2016", "1/1/2016", "2/1/2016"];
hasDupes(arr);
https://jsfiddle.net/7kkgy1j3/
Another solution:
Array.prototype.checkIfArrayIsUnique = function() {
this.sort();
for ( var i = 1; i < this.length; i++ ){
if(this[i-1] == this[i])
return false;
}
return true;
}
function hasNoDuplicates(arr) {
return arr.every(num => arr.indexOf(num) === arr.lastIndexOf(num));
}
hasNoDuplicates accepts an array and returns true if there are no duplicate values. If there are any duplicates, the function returns false.
Without a for loop, only using Map().
You can also return the duplicates.
(function(a){
let map = new Map();
a.forEach(e => {
if(map.has(e)) {
let count = map.get(e);
console.log(count)
map.set(e, count + 1);
} else {
map.set(e, 1);
}
});
let hasDup = false;
let dups = [];
map.forEach((value, key) => {
if(value > 1) {
hasDup = true;
dups.push(key);
}
});
console.log(dups);
return hasDup;
})([2,4,6,2,1,4]);
Late answer but can be helpful
function areThereDuplicates(args) {
let count = {};
for(let i = 0; i < args.length; i++){
count[args[i]] = 1 + (count[args[i]] || 0);
}
let found = Object.keys(count).filter(function(key) {
return count[key] > 1;
});
return found.length ? true : false;
}
areThereDuplicates([1,2,5]);
The code given in the question can be better written as follows
function checkIfArrayIsUnique(myArray)
{
for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++)
{
for (var j = i+1; j < myArray.length; j++)
{
if (myArray[i] == myArray[j])
{
return true; // means there are duplicate values
}
}
}
return false; // means there are no duplicate values.
}
Returns the duplicate item in array and creates a new array with no duplicates:
var a = ["hello", "hi", "hi", "juice", "juice", "test"];
var b = ["ding", "dong", "hi", "juice", "juice", "test"];
var c = a.concat(b);
var dupClearArr = [];
function dupArray(arr) {
for (i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (arr.indexOf(arr[i]) != i && arr.indexOf(arr[i]) != -1) {
console.log('duplicate item ' + arr[i]);
} else {
dupClearArr.push(arr[i])
}
}
console.log('actual array \n' + arr + ' \nno duplicate items array \n' + dupClearArr)
}
dupArray(c);
const containsMatches = (a1, a2) => a1.some((v) => a2.includes(v));
If your array nests other arrays/objects, using the Set approach may not be what you want since comparing two objects compares their references. If you want to check that their contained values are equal, something else is needed. Here are a couple different approaches.
Approach 1: Map using JSON.stringify for keys
If you want to consider objects with the same contained values as equal, here's one simple way to do it using a Map object. It uses JSON.stringify to make a unique id for each element in the array.
I believe the runtime of this would be O(n * m) on arrays, assuming JSON.stringify serializes in linear time. n is the length of the outer array, m is size of the arrays. If the objects get very large, however, this may slow down since the keys will be very long. Not a very space-efficient implementation, but it is simple and works for many data types.
function checkArrayDupeFree(myArray, idFunc) {
const dupeMap = new Map();
for (const el of myArray) {
const id = idFunc(el);
if (dupeMap.has(id))
return false;
dupeMap.set(id, el);
}
return true;
}
const notUnique = [ [1, 2], [1, 3], [1, 2] ];
console.log(`${JSON.stringify(notUnique)} has no duplicates? ${checkArrayDupeFree(notUnique, JSON.stringify)}`);
const unique = [ [2, 1], [1, 3], [1, 2] ];
console.log(`${JSON.stringify(unique)} has no duplicates? ${checkArrayDupeFree(unique, JSON.stringify)}`);
Of course, you could also write your own id-generator function, though I'm not sure you can do much better than JSON.stringify.
Approach 2: Custom HashMap, Hashcode, and Equality implementations
If you have a lot of big arrays, it may be better performance-wise to implement your own hash/equality functions and use a Map as a HashMap.
In the following implementation, we hash the array. If there is a collision, map a key to an array of collided values, and check to see if any of the array values match according to the equality function.
The downside of this approach is that you may have to consider a wide range of types for which to make hashcode/equality functions, depending on what's in the array.
function checkArrayDupeFreeWHashes(myArray, hashFunc, eqFunc) {
const hashMap = new Map();
for (const el of myArray) {
const hash = hashFunc(el);
const hit = hashMap.get(hash);
if (hit == null)
hashMap.set(hash, [el]);
else if (hit.some(v => eqFunc(v, el)))
return false;
else
hit.push(el);
}
return true;
}
Here's a demo of the custom HashMap in action. I implemented a hashing function and an equality function for arrays of arrays.
function checkArrayDupeFreeWHashes(myArray, hashFunc, eqFunc) {
const hashMap = new Map();
for (const el of myArray) {
const hash = hashFunc(el);
const hit = hashMap.get(hash);
if (hit == null)
hashMap.set(hash, [el]);
else if (hit.some(v => eqFunc(v, el)))
return false;
else
hit.push(el);
}
return true;
}
function arrayHasher(arr) {
let hash = 19;
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
const el = arr[i];
const toHash = Array.isArray(el)
? arrayHasher(el)
: el * 23;
hash = hash * 31 + toHash;
}
return hash;
}
function arrayEq(a, b) {
if (a.length != b.length)
return false;
for (let i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
if ((Array.isArray(a) || Array.isArray(b)) && !arrayEq(a[i], b[i]))
return false;
else if (a[i] !== b[i])
return false;
}
return true;
}
const notUnique = [ [1, 2], [1, 3], [1, 2] ];
const unique = [ [2, 1], [1, 3], [1, 2] ];
console.log(`${JSON.stringify(notUnique)} has no duplicates? ${checkArrayDupeFreeWHashes(notUnique, arrayHasher, arrayEq)}`);
console.log(`${JSON.stringify(unique)} has no duplicates? ${checkArrayDupeFreeWHashes(unique, arrayHasher, arrayEq)}`);
function checkIfArrayIsUnique(myArray)
{
isUnique=true
for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++)
{
for (var j = 0; j < myArray.length; j++)
{
if (i != j)
{
if (myArray[i] == myArray[j])
{
isUnique=false
}
}
}
}
return isUnique;
}
This assume that the array is unique at the start.
If find two equals values, then change to false
i think this is the simple way
$(document).ready(function() {
var arr = [1,2,3,9,6,5,6];
console.log( "result =>"+ if_duplicate_value (arr));
});
function if_duplicate_value (arr){
for(i=0;i<arr.length-1;i++){
for(j=i+1;j<arr.length;j++){
if(arr[i]==arr[j]){
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
var c=[2,2,3,3,5,5,4,4,8,8];
for(var i=0; i<b.length; i++){

console.log(c[j]);

}
}
I've been looking around the website and all I find are questions regarding finding the index of a value in an array, but that value is the only occurrence of that value in the array. I was wondering is there was a way to find the index of a repeated value every time that it occurs.
Say there's and array like so:
var arr = [45,56,76,4,53,43,6,273,884,69,47,58,225,222,23,13,89,900,7,66,78,74,69];
Is it possible to loop through this and find the indexes of the value 69?
Here's a way to do it in modern browsers:
function findIndexes(arr, val){
return arr.map(function(v,i){ return v==val && i }).filter(Number);
}
console.log(findIndexes(arr, 69)); //=> [9,22]
Of course it's possible. Computers are amazing.
var positions = [];
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i)
if (arr[i] === 69)
positions.push(i);
At the end of that loop, the array "positions" will contain all the indexes of the array where 69 was found.
You could generalize this:
function indexes(arr, value) {
var rv = [];
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i)
if (arr[i] === value)
rv.push(i);
return rv;
}
and then:
var i69 = indexes(arr, 69);
Since we're all posting various ways to perform simple tasks...
var arr = [45,56,76,4,53,43,6,273,884,69,47,58,225,222,23,13,89,900,7,66,78,74,69];
arr.reduce(function(res, n, i) {
return n === 69 ? res.concat(i) : res;
}, []);
Loop while the next indexOf is not -1..
function allIndicesOf(arr, val) {
var found = [], i = -1;
while (-1 !== (i = arr.indexOf(val, i + 1))) found.push(i);
return found;
}
var arr = [0, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 8, 5, 2, 0, 4, 3, 3, 1];
allIndicesOf(arr, 3); // [3, 11, 12]
My idea
function indexs(arr,val){
var start = arr.indexOf(val),result = [];
while(start >= 0){
result.push(start);
start = arr.indexOf(val,start+1);
}
return result;
}
Have fun :)
var arr = [45,56,76,4,53,43,6,273,884,69,47,58,225,222,23,13,89,900,7,66,78,74,69],
i = arr.length,
o = {};
while( i-- ) {
if( !o[ arr[i] ] ) {
`o[ arr[i] ] = [];`
}
o[ arr[i] ].push( i );
}
alert( o[69] );

Cartesian product of multiple arrays in JavaScript
(35 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I'm having trouble coming up with code to generate combinations from n number of arrays with m number of elements in them, in JavaScript. I've seen similar questions about this for other languages, but the answers incorporate syntactic or library magic that I'm unsure how to translate.
Consider this data:
[[0,1], [0,1,2,3], [0,1,2]]
3 arrays, with a different number of elements in them. What I want to do is get all combinations by combining an item from each array.
For example:
0,0,0 // item 0 from array 0, item 0 from array 1, item 0 from array 2
0,0,1
0,0,2
0,1,0
0,1,1
0,1,2
0,2,0
0,2,1
0,2,2
And so on.
If the number of arrays were fixed, it would be easy to make a hard coded implementation. But the number of arrays may vary:
[[0,1], [0,1]]
[[0,1,3,4], [0,1], [0], [0,1]]
Any help would be much appreciated.
Here is a quite simple and short one using a recursive helper function:
function cartesian(...args) {
var r = [], max = args.length-1;
function helper(arr, i) {
for (var j=0, l=args[i].length; j<l; j++) {
var a = arr.slice(0); // clone arr
a.push(args[i][j]);
if (i==max)
r.push(a);
else
helper(a, i+1);
}
}
helper([], 0);
return r;

Usage:
cartesian([0,1], [0,1,2,3], [0,1,2]);
To make the function take an array of arrays, just change the signature to function cartesian(args) instead of using rest parameter syntax.
I suggest a simple recursive generator function:
// JS
function* cartesianIterator(head, ...tail) {
const remainder = tail.length ? cartesianIterator(...tail) : [[]];
for (let r of remainder) for (let h of head) yield [h, ...r];
}
// get values:
const cartesian = items => [...cartesianIterator(items)];
console.log(cartesian(input));
// TS
function* cartesianIterator<T>(items: T[][]): Generator<T[]> {
const remainder = items.length > 1 ? cartesianIterator(items.slice(1)) : [[]];
for (let r of remainder) for (let h of items.at(0)!) yield [h, ...r];
}
// get values:
const cartesian = <T>(items: T[][]) => [...cartesianIterator(items)];
console.log(cartesian(input));
You could take an iterative approach by building sub arrays.
var parts = [[0, 1], [0, 1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2]],
result = parts.reduce((a, b) => a.reduce((r, v) => r.concat(b.map(w => [].concat(v, w))), []));
console.log(result.map(a => a.join(', ')));

After doing a little research I discovered a previous related question:
Finding All Combinations of JavaScript array values
I've adapted some of the code from there so that it returns an array of arrays containing all of the permutations:
function(arraysToCombine) {
var divisors = [];
for (var i = arraysToCombine.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
divisors[i] = divisors[i + 1] ? divisors[i + 1] * arraysToCombine[i + 1].length : 1;
}
function getPermutation(n, arraysToCombine) {
var result = [],
curArray;
for (var i = 0; i < arraysToCombine.length; i++) {
curArray = arraysToCombine[i];
result.push(curArray[Math.floor(n / divisors[i]) % curArray.length]);
}
return result;
}
var numPerms = arraysToCombine[0].length;
for(var i = 1; i < arraysToCombine.length; i++) {
numPerms *= arraysToCombine[i].length;
}
var combinations = [];
for(var i = 0; i < numPerms; i++) {
combinations.push(getPermutation(i, arraysToCombine));
}
return combinations;
}
I've put a working copy at http://jsfiddle.net/7EakX/ that takes the array you gave earlier ([[0,1], [0,1,2,3], [0,1,2]]) and outputs the result to the browser console.
const charSet = [["A", "B"],["C", "D", "E"],["F", "G", "H", "I"]];
console.log(charSet.reduce((a,b)=>a.flatMap(x=>b.map(y=>x+y)),['']))
Just for fun, here's a more functional variant of the solution in my first answer:
function cartesian() {
var r = [], args = Array.from(arguments);
args.reduceRight(function(cont, factor, i) {
return function(arr) {
for (var j=0, l=factor.length; j<l; j++) {
var a = arr.slice(); // clone arr
a[i] = factor[j];
cont(a);
}
};
}, Array.prototype.push.bind(r))(new Array(args.length));
return r;
}
Alternative, for full speed we can dynamically compile our own loops:
function cartesian() {
return (cartesian.cache[arguments.length] || cartesian.compile(arguments.length)).apply(null, arguments);
}
cartesian.cache = [];
cartesian.compile = function compile(n) {
var args = [],
indent = "",
up = "",
down = "";
for (var i=0; i<n; i++) {
var arr = "$"+String.fromCharCode(97+i),
ind = String.fromCharCode(105+i);
args.push(arr);
up += indent+"for (var "+ind+"=0, l"+arr+"="+arr+".length; "+ind+"<l"+arr+"; "+ind+"++) {\n";
down = indent+"}\n"+down;
indent += " ";
up += indent+"arr["+i+"] = "+arr+"["+ind+"];\n";
}
var body = "var res=[],\n arr=[];\n"+up+indent+"res.push(arr.slice());\n"+down+"return res;";
return cartesian.cache[n] = new Function(args, body);
}
var f = function(arr){
if(typeof arr !== 'object'){
return false;
}
arr = arr.filter(function(elem){ return (elem !== null); }); // remove empty elements - make sure length is correct
var len = arr.length;
var nextPerm = function(){ // increase the counter(s)
var i = 0;
while(i < len)
{
arr[i].counter++;
if(arr[i].counter >= arr[i].length){
arr[i].counter = 0;
i++;
}else{
return false;
}
}
return true;
};
var getPerm = function(){ // get the current permutation
var perm_arr = [];
for(var i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
perm_arr.push(arr[i][arr[i].counter]);
}
return perm_arr;
};
var new_arr = [];
for(var i = 0; i < len; i++) // set up a counter property inside the arrays
{
arr[i].counter = 0;
}
while(true)
{
new_arr.push(getPerm()); // add current permutation to the new array
if(nextPerm() === true){ // get next permutation, if returns true, we got them all
break;
}
}
return new_arr;
};
Here's another way of doing it. I treat the indices of all of the arrays like a number whose digits are all different bases (like time and dates), using the length of the array as the radix.
So, using your first set of data, the first digit is base 2, the second is base 4, and the third is base 3. The counter starts 000, then goes 001, 002, then 010. The digits correspond to indices in the arrays, and since order is preserved, this is no problem.
I have a fiddle with it working here: http://jsfiddle.net/Rykus0/DS9Ea/1/
and here is the code:
// Arbitrary base x number class
var BaseX = function(initRadix){
this.radix = initRadix ? initRadix : 1;
this.value = 0;
this.increment = function(){
return( (this.value = (this.value + 1) % this.radix) === 0);
}
}
function combinations(input){
var output = [], // Array containing the resulting combinations
counters = [], // Array of counters corresponding to our input arrays
remainder = false, // Did adding one cause the previous digit to rollover?
temp; // Holds one combination to be pushed into the output array
// Initialize the counters
for( var i = input.length-1; i >= 0; i-- ){
counters.unshift(new BaseX(input[i].length));
}
// Get all possible combinations
// Loop through until the first counter rolls over
while( !remainder ){
temp = []; // Reset the temporary value collection array
remainder = true; // Always increment the last array counter
// Process each of the arrays
for( i = input.length-1; i >= 0; i-- ){
temp.unshift(input[i][counters[i].value]); // Add this array's value to the result
// If the counter to the right rolled over, increment this one.
if( remainder ){
remainder = counters[i].increment();
}
}
output.push(temp); // Collect the results.
}
return output;
}
// Input is an array of arrays
console.log(combinations([[0,1], [0,1,2,3], [0,1,2]]));
You can use a recursive function to get all combinations
const charSet = [["A", "B"],["C", "D", "E"],["F", "G", "H", "I"]];
let loopOver = (arr, str = '', final = []) => {
if (arr.length > 1) {
arr[0].forEach(v => loopOver(arr.slice(1), str + v, final))
} else {
arr[0].forEach(v => final.push(str + v))
}
return final
}
console.log(loopOver(charSet))
This code can still be shorten using ternary but i prefer the first version for readability 😊
const charSet = [["A", "B"],["C", "D", "E"],["F", "G", "H", "I"]];
let loopOver = (arr, str = '') => arr[0].map(v => arr.length > 1 ? loopOver(arr.slice(1), str + v) : str + v).flat()
console.log(loopOver(charSet))
Another implementation with ES6 recursive style
Array.prototype.cartesian = function(a,...as){
return a ? this.reduce((p,c) => (p.push(...a.cartesian(...as).map(e => as.length ? [c,...e] : [c,e])),p),[])
: this;
};
console.log(JSON.stringify([0,1].cartesian([0,1,2,3], [[0],[1],[2]])));
