Leetcode #Allow One Function Call

Given a function fn, return a new function that is identical to the original function except that it ensures fn is called at most once.

The first time the returned function is called, it should return the same result as fn.
Every subsequent time it is called, it should return undefined.

Example 1:

Input:

fn = (a,b,c) => (a + b + c), calls = [[1,2,3],[2,3,6]]

Output:

**Explanation:**

const onceFn = once(fn);
onceFn(1, 2, 3); // 6
onceFn(2, 3, 6); // undefined, fn was not called

**Example 2:**

**Input:**

 ```fn = (a,b,c) => (a * b * c), calls = [[5,7,4],[2,3,6],[4,6,8]]```


**Output:**

 ```[{"calls":1,"value":140}]```


**Explanation:**

const onceFn = once(fn);
onceFn(5, 7, 4); // 140
onceFn(2, 3, 6); // undefined, fn was not called
onceFn(4, 6, 8); // undefined, fn was not called

**Constraints:**

`calls` is a valid JSON array

*Solution*

In this case, we are required to create a higher-order function(a function that returns another function) [Read more about high-order functions here](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/higher-order-functions-explained/#:~:text=JavaScript%20offers%20a%20powerful%20feature,even%20return%20functions%20as%20results.)

We should make sure that the original function `fn` is only called once regardless of how many times the second function is called.

If the function fn has been not called, we should call the function `fn` with the provided arguments `args`. Else, we should return `undefined`


_Code solution_



``` sh
/**
 * @param {Function} fn
 * @return {Function}
 */
var once = function (fn) {
    // if function === called return undefined, 
    // else call fn with provide arguments
    let executed = false;
    let result;

    return function (...args) {
        if (!executed) {
            executed = true;
            result = fn(...args);
            return result;
        } else {
            return undefined;
        }
    }
};

/**
 * let fn = (a,b,c) => (a + b + c)
 * let onceFn = once(fn)
 *
 * onceFn(1,2,3); // 6
 * onceFn(2,3,6); // returns undefined without calling fn
