I am trying to create an array with a variable gap between its values.
Eg.: supposing my gap equals 15, then my array will be [0, 15, 30, 45, 60].
This is what I have tried to do, but I couldn't make this work.
var min_array = 0;
var max_array = 60;
var gap = 15;
var arr = [];
while(min_array < max_array +1){
arr.push(min_array+gap);
}
console.log(arr);
You have to count up min_array also with gap. Otherwise it will end in an infinity loop.
while(min_array < max_array){
arr.push(min_array+gap);
min_array += gap;
}
Also, just as a heads up, the JS for loop can also do this pretty easily.
See this for the documentation.
var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i <= 60; i+=15) {
// Parameters: the first argument is your min_array, the next is your max_array, and the final is your gap.
arr.push(i);
}
i to start at 0
Edit your code to be like the code below , the problem with your code is that its runs for ever so you need to increase the min_array value every time you run the loop .
var min_array = 0;
var max_array = 60;
var gap = 15;
var arr = [];
while(min_array < max_array) {
min_array = min_array+gap
arr.push( min_array);
}
console.log(arr);The previous answers are almost correct, but to include 0 do the following:
var min_array = 0;
var max_array = 60;
var gap = 15;
var arr = [];
while(min_array <= max_array){
arr.push(min_array);
min_array += gap;
}
console.log(arr); // [0, 15, 30, 45, 60]
