I have 40 fruits and I want to distribute it randomly and store in array of length 10.
See below code inputs.
var fruits = 40;
var arr = [];
And I want output like this
arr = [2,5,1,0,0,3,6,10,0,13];
10 positions of array should be filled randomly but addition of values should be 40.
A recursive divide-and-conquer approach:
function distribute(length, value) {
if (length <= 1)
return [value];
var half = Math.floor(length / 2),
dist = Math.floor(Math.random() * value);
return distribute(half, dist).concat(distribute(length-half, value-dist));
}

I have array like this for example:
const arr = [3,5,7,10];
And I have a number, for example:
const status = 4;
I have to find index of this number, so number 4 is bigger than 3, and less then 5, so it belongs to second index, I have to get something like position.
Position for the number for should be 2. (it's bigger than 3, but less then 5).
Expected result
const position = 2;
are you looking for this simple solution?
const arr = [3,5,7,10];
const status = 4;
const position = arr.findIndex( e => e > status) + 1;
console.log(position)

I have ranges in hexadecimals like below.
range = "80000000-d554ffff"
range = "d5550000-2aa9ffff"
range = "2aaa0000-7fffffff"
I don't understand how to change above ranges in percentage.
Answer must be like - 50%, 25% ,25% not exactly this. answer as per data.
If min=80000000 and max=7fffffff then?
https://jsfiddle.net/amitkushwaha1710/wk4786tr/
You could get the decimal values, take the delta and get the percent value.
var ranges = ["80000000-d554ffff", "d5550000-2aa9ffff", "2aaa0000-7fffffff"],
result = ranges.map(s => {
var [l, r] = s.split('-').map(v => parseInt(v, 16));
return (r - l) * 100 / l;
});
console.log(result);

I have an array of agents which each have the attribute rate which is their accepted calls minus their declined calls. I order these agents in the array based on the rate. I'd like to give agents with a better rate a higher chance to be selected for a call than other agents with a lower rate to make things fair. I understand how to select a random element from an array but I can't wrap my head around this problem.
In this code, there is a 2/15 chance to get 2, 3/15 chance to get 3, and so on.
15 is based on the total rate of all the agents.
var aoa = [{rate: 2},{rate: 3},{rate: 6},{rate: 4}];
var r = Math.random() * aoa.map(e => e.rate).reduce((ac,c) => ac+c,0);
var sa;
aoa.forEach((a,i) => {
var pt = aoa.slice(0,i).map(e => e.rate).reduce((ac,c) => ac+c,0);
if (r >= pt && r < pt+a.rate) sa = a;
console.log(`${r} has to be between ${pt} and ${pt+a.rate} if chosen rate = ${a.rate}`);
});
console.log(sa);

Var randomLetters = "ljhgfdza";
Var randomString = "";
Now I'll have to add elements in the first variable to the second Randomly
Using the while loop, and Math.floor(Math.random() * random letters.length)
I am having a problem at my
"While (condition)" what should it be?
To flat out answer your question, you can use:
while(randomLetters.length > 0){
Then when you use a letter from randomLetters, you delete the letter and the length is now 1 less.
This will be enough for you:
const randomLetters = "ljhgfdza";
const returnRandom = (randomString) => {
const arrString = [...randomString].sort((a, b) =>{
return 0.5 - Math.random()
}).join("");
console.log(typeof arrString,arrString);
}
returnRandom(randomLetters);
but... in this case sort method is not that random as you think. This link will tell you why. I would do this with reduce() or map(), both are described in link above.

I'm taking online class to learn JS and I'm stuck. The quiz is asking me to:
Returns the cube of the sum of an input and 2.
So I coded this:
var returnCubed = function(num){ return (num + 2) * 3;};
But it doesn't pass. What else can I do to take in a parameter, add two to it, then cube it? Or am I not understanding the directions?
Try
var returnCubed = function(num){
return (num+2) * (num+2) * (num+2);
};
*3 will always multiply with 3.
Hope this can solve your problem.
