I'm trying to do a for loop on an array and be able to start that loop on a specific index and loop over the array x amount of times.
const array = ['c','d','e','f','g','a','b','c']
I want to loop 8 indexes starting at any index I wish. Example starting at array[4] (g) would return
'g','a','b','c','c','d','e','f'
This is what I've tried so far
const notes = ['c','d','e','f','g','a','b','c']
var res = []
for (var i = 4; i < notes.length; i++) {
res.push(notes[i])
}
console.log(res)
You can use modulo % operator.
const getArray = (array, index) => {
const result = [];
const length = array.length;
for (let i = 0; i < length; i++) {
result.push(array[(index + i) % length]);
}
return result;
};
Simple way.
var notes = ['c','d','e','f','g','a','b','c'];
function looparr(arr, start)
{
var res = [], start = start || 0;
for(var index = start, length=arr.length; index<length; index++)
{
res.push(arr[index]);
index == (arr.length-1) && (index=-1,length=start);
}
return res;
}
console.log(looparr(['c','d','e','f','g','a','b','c'], 0));
console.log(looparr(['c','d','e','f','g','a','b','c'], 2));
console.log(looparr(['c','d','e','f','g','a','b','c'], 4));
console.log(looparr(['c','d','e','f','g','a','b','c']));Very simple solution below :) While i < index, remove the first character from the array, store it in a variable and then add it back onto the end of the array.
let array = ['c','d','e','f','g','a','b','c'];
var index = 4;
for(var i = 0; i < index; i++) {
var letter1 = array.shift(i); // Remove from the start of the array
array.push(letter1); // Add the value to the end of the array
}
console.log(array);Enjoy :)
