Introduction to JavaScript native array functions

In JavaScript, you can use the Array constructor to create an array, or use the array literal [], the latter is the preferred method. The Array object inherits from Object.prototype, and executing the typeof operator on the array returns object instead of array. However,[] instanceof Array also returns true. In other words, the implementation of array-like objects is more complex, such as strings objects and arguments objects. The arguments object is not an instance of Array, but has a length attribute and can obtain values ​​through indexes, so it can be looped like an array.

In this article, I will review some of the array prototype methods and explore their uses.

Loop: .forEach

Judgment: .some and .every

## Distinguish between .join and .concat

Implementation of stack and queue: .pop, .push, .shift, and .unshift

## Model mapping: .map

Query: .filter

Sort: .sort

Calculation: .reduce and. reduceRight

## Copy: .slice

Powerful .splice

Find: .indexOf

Operator: in

Approach.reverse

Loop:.forEach

This is the simplest method in JavaScript, but IE7 and IE8 do not support this method.

.forEach has a callback function as a parameter. When traversing the array, it will be called for each array element. The callback function accepts three parameters:

Value: Current element

## Index: Index of the current element

Array: Array to be traversed

In addition, you can pass an optional second parameter as the context (this) of each function call.

['_', 't', 'a', 'n', 'i', 'f', ']'].forEach(function (value, index, array) {
    this.push(String.fromCharCode(value.charCodeAt() + index + 2))
}, out = [])
out.join('')
// <- &#39;awesome&#39;

We will mention .join later, in In this example, it is used to splice different elements in the array, and the effect is similar to out[0] + ” + out[1] + ” + out[2] + ” + out[n].

The .forEach loop cannot be interrupted, and throwing an exception is also an unwise choice. Fortunately we have another way to interrupt operations.

Judgment: .some and .every

## If you have used enumerations in .NET, these two methods and .Any(x => x.IsAwesome), .All(x => x.IsAwesome) is similar.

Similar to the parameters of .forEach, it requires a callback function containing three parameters: value, index, and array, and also has an optional second context parameter. MDN describes .some as follows:

Some will execute the callback function for each element in the array until the callback function returns true. If the target element is found, some returns true immediately, otherwise some returns false. The callback function is only executed for array indices that have assigned values; it is not called for deleted or unassigned elements.

max = -Infinity
satisfied = [10, 12, 10, 8, 5, 23].some(function (value, index, array) {
    if (value > max) max = value
    return value < 10
})
console.log(max)
// <- 12
satisfied
// <- true

Note that when the value of the callback function < At 10 o'clock, the function loop is interrupted. The operating principle of .every is similar to .some, but the callback function returns false instead of true.

Distinguish between .join and .concat

.join and .concat Often confused. .join(separator) uses the separator as the separator to join the array elements and returns the string form. If the separator is not provided, the default , will be used. .concat creates a new array as a shallow copy of the source array.

Common usage of .concat: array.concat(val, val2, val3, valn)

.concat returns a new array

Array.concat() returns a shallow copy of the source array without parameters.

A shallow copy means that the new array maintains the same object references as the original array, which is usually a good thing. For example:

var a = { foo: 'bar' }
var b = [1, 2, 3, a]
var c = b.concat()
console.log(b === c)
// <- false
b[3] === a && c[3] === a
// <- true

Implementation of stack and queue: .pop, .push, .shift and .unshift

　　每个人都知道.push可以再数组末尾添加元素，但是你知道可以使用[].push(‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’, ‘z’)一次性添加多个元素吗?

　　.pop 方法是.push 的反操作，它返回被删除的数组末尾元素。如果数组为空，将返回void 0 (undefined),使用.pop和.push可以创建LIFO (last in first out)栈。

function Stack () {
    this._stack = []
}
Stack.prototype.next = function () {
    return this._stack.pop()
}
Stack.prototype.add = function () {
    return this._stack.push.apply(this._stack, arguments)
}
stack = new Stack()
stack.add(1,2,3)
stack.next()
// <- 3
相反，可以使用.shift和 .unshift创建FIFO (first in first out)队列。

function Queue () {
    this._queue = []
}
Queue.prototype.next = function () {
    return this._queue.shift()
}
Queue.prototype.add = function () {
    return this._queue.unshift.apply(this._queue, arguments)
}
queue = new Queue()
queue.add(1,2,3)
queue.next()
// <- 1
Using .shift (or .pop) is an easy way to loop through a set of array elements, while draining the array in the process.
list = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
while (item = list.shift()) {
    console.log(item)
}
list
// <- []

　　模型映射：.map

　　.map为数组中的每个元素提供了一个回调方法，并返回有调用结果构成的新数组。回调函数只对已经指定值的数组索引执行;它不会对已删除的或未指定值的元素调用。

　　Array.prototype.map 和上面提到的.forEach、.some和 .every有相同的参数格式：.map(fn(value, index, array), thisArgument)

values = [void 0, null, false, '']
values[7] = void 0
result = values.map(function(value, index, array){
    console.log(value)
    return value
})
// <- [undefined, null, false, &#39;&#39;, undefined × 3, undefined]

　　undefined × 3很好地解释了.map不会对已删除的或未指定值的元素调用，但仍然会被包含在结果数组中。.map在创建或改变数组时非常有用，看下面的示例：

// casting
[1, '2', '30', '9'].map(function (value) {
    return parseInt(value, 10)
})
// 1, 2, 30, 9
[97, 119, 101, 115, 111, 109, 101].map(String.fromCharCode).join('')
// <- &#39;awesome&#39;
// a commonly used pattern is mapping to new objects
items.map(function (item) {
    return {
        id: item.id,
        name: computeName(item)
    }
})

　　查询：.filter

　　filter对每个数组元素执行一次回调函数，并返回一个由回调函数返回true的元素组成的新数组。回调函数只会对已经指定值的数组项调用。

　　通常用法：.filter(fn(value, index, array), thisArgument),跟C#中的LINQ表达式和SQL中的where语句类似，.filter只返回在回调函数中返回true值的元素。

[void 0, null, false, '', 1].filter(function (value) {
    return value
})
// <- [1]
[void 0, null, false, &#39;&#39;, 1].filter(function (value) {
    return !value
})
// <- [void 0, null, false, &#39;&#39;]

　　排序：.sort(compareFunction)

　　如果没有提供compareFunction，元素会被转换成字符串并按照字典排序。例如，”80″排在”9″之前，而不是在其后。

　　跟大多数排序函数类似，Array.prototype.sort(fn(a,b))需要一个包含两个测试参数的回调函数,其返回值如下：

　　a在b之前则返回值小于0

　　a和b相等则返回值是0

　　a在b之后则返回值小于0

[9,80,3,10,5,6].sort()
// <- [10, 3, 5, 6, 80, 9]
[9,80,3,10,5,6].sort(function (a, b) {
    return a - b
})
// <- [3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 80]

　　计算：.reduce和.reduceRight

　　这两个函数比较难理解，.reduce会从左往右遍历数组，而.reduceRight则从右往左遍历数组，二者典型用法：.reduce(callback(previousValue,currentValue, index, array), initialValue)。

　　previousValue 是最后一次调用回调函数的返回值，initialValue则是其初始值，currentValue是当前元素值，index是当前元素索引，array是调用.reduce的数组。

　　一个典型的用例，使用.reduce的求和函数。

Array.prototype.sum = function () {
    return this.reduce(function (partial, value) {
        return partial + value
    }, 0)
};
[3,4,5,6,10].sum()
// <- 28

　　如果想把数组拼接成一个字符串，可以用.join实现。然而，若数组值是对象，.join就不会按照我们的期望返回值了，除非对象有合理的valueOf或toString方法，在这种情况下，可以用.reduce实现：

function concat (input) {
    return input.reduce(function (partial, value) {
        if (partial) {
            partial += ', '
        }
        return partial + value
    }, '')
}
concat([
    { name: 'George' },
    { name: 'Sam' },
    { name: 'Pear' }
])
// <- &#39;George, Sam, Pear&#39;

　　复制：.slice

　　和.concat类似，调用没有参数的.slice()方法会返回源数组的一个浅拷贝。.slice有两个参数：一个是开始位置和一个结束位置。

　　Array.prototype.slice 能被用来将类数组对象转换为真正的数组。

Array.prototype.slice.call({ 0: 'a', 1: 'b', length: 2 })
// <- [&#39;a&#39;, &#39;b&#39;]
这对.concat不适用，因为它会用数组包裹类数组对象。

Array.prototype.concat.call({ 0: &#39;a&#39;, 1: &#39;b&#39;, length: 2 })
// <- [{ 0: &#39;a&#39;, 1: &#39;b&#39;, length: 2 }]

　　此外，.slice的另一个通常用法是从一个参数列表中删除一些元素，这可以将类数组对象转换为真正的数组。

function format (text, bold) {
    if (bold) {
        text = '' + text + ''
    }
    var values = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 2)
    values.forEach(function (value) {
        text = text.replace('%s', value)
    })
    return text
}
format('some%sthing%s %s', true, 'some', 'other', 'things')

　　强大的.splice

　　.splice 是我最喜欢的原生数组函数，只需要调用一次，就允许你删除元素、插入新的元素，并能同时进行删除、插入操作。需要注意的是，不同于`.concat和.slice,这个函数会改变源数组。

var source = [1,2,3,8,8,8,8,8,9,10,11,12,13]
var spliced = source.splice(3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7)
console.log(source)
// <- [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ,13]
spliced
// <- [8, 8, 8, 8]

　　正如你看到的，.splice会返回删除的元素。如果你想遍历已经删除的数组时，这会非常方便。

var source = [1,2,3,8,8,8,8,8,9,10,11,12,13]
var spliced = source.splice(9)
spliced.forEach(function (value) {
    console.log('removed', value)
})
// <- removed 10
// <- removed 11
// <- removed 12
// <- removed 13
console.log(source)
// <- [1, 2, 3, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9]

　　查找：.indexOf

　　利用.indexOf 可以在数组中查找一个元素的位置，没有匹配元素则返回-1。我经常使用.indexOf的情况是当我有比较时，例如：a === ‘a’ || a === ‘b’ || a === ‘c’，或者只有两个比较，此时，可以使用.indexOf：['a', 'b', 'c'].indexOf(a) !== -1。

　　注意，如果提供的引用相同，.indexOf也能查找对象。第二个可选参数用于指定开始查找的位置。

var a = { foo: 'bar' }
var b = [a, 2]
console.log(b.indexOf(1))
// <- -1
console.log(b.indexOf({ foo: &#39;bar&#39; }))
// <- -1
console.log(b.indexOf(a))
// <- 0
console.log(b.indexOf(a, 1))
// <- -1
b.indexOf(2, 1)
// <- 1

　　如果你想从后向前搜索，可以使用.lastIndexOf。

　　操作符：in

　　在面试中新手容易犯的错误是混淆.indexOf和in操作符:

var a = [1, 2, 5]
1 in a
// <- true, but because of the 2!
5 in a
// <- false

　　问题是in操作符是检索对象的键而非值。当然，这在性能上比.indexOf快得多。

var a = [3, 7, 6]
1 in a === !!a[1]
// <- true

　　走近.reverse

　　该方法将数组中的元素倒置。

var a = [1, 1, 7, 8]
a.reverse()
// [8, 7, 1, 1]

　　.reverse 会修改数组本身。
