Trying to take an integer and have it return as a
string with the integers from 1 to the number passed.
Trying to use a loop to return the string but not sure how!
Example of how I want it to look:
count(5) => 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
count(3) => 1, 2, 3
Not really sure where to even start
I would do it with a recursive function. Keep concatenating the numbers until it reaches 1.
var sequence = function(num){
if(num === 1) return '1';
return sequence(num - 1) + ', ' + num;
}
Or just:
var sequence = (num) => num === 1 ? '1' : sequence(num - 1) + ', ' + num;
You can use a for loop to iterate the number of times that you pass in. Then, you need an if-statement to handle the comma (since you don't want a comma at the end of the string).
function count(num) {
var s = "";
for(var i = 1; i <= num; i++) {
s += i;
if (i < (num)) {
s += ', ';
}
}
return s;
}
Try this:
function count(n) {
var arr = [];
for (var i = 1; i<=n; i++) {
arr.push(i.toString());
}
return arr.toString();
}
[] + 1. Why? If you want to add to the array, it should be [].push(i). If you want to perform string concatenation then you don't need an array.+= "1"[] + 1 is essentially the same as "" + 1.Here's a non-recursive solution:
var sequence = num => new Array(num).fill(0).map((e, i) => i + 1).toString();
here is a goofy way to do it
function count(i)
{
while (i--) {
out = (i + 1) + "," + this.out;
}
return (out + ((delete out) && "")).replace(",undefined", "");
}
Quite possibly the most ridiculous way, defining an iterator:
"use strict";
function count ( i ) {
let n = 0;
let I = {};
I[Symbol.iterator] = function() {
return { next: function() { return (n > i) ? {done:true}
: {done:false, value:n++} } } };
let s = "";
let c = "";
for ( let i of I ) {
s += c + i;
c = ", "
}
return s;
}
let s = count(3);
console.log(s);
