JavaScript Array: Exercise-40 with Solution

Write a JavaScript function to generate an array of specified length, filled with integer numbers, increase by one from starting position.

Test Data :
console.log(array_range(1, 4));
[1, 2, 3, 4]
console.log(array_range(-6, 4));
[-6, -5, -4, -3]

JavaScript: Generate an array of specified length, the content of the array is integer numbers, increase by one from starting

Sample Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>JavaScript function to generate an array of given length, the content of the array is integer numbers, increase by one from starting</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

JavaScript Code:

function array_range(start, len) 
     {
		var arr = new Array(len);
		for (var i = 0; i < len; i++, start++) 
        {
			arr[i] = start;
		}
      		return arr;
}


console.log(array_range(1, 4));

console.log(array_range(-6, 4));

Sample Output:

[1,2,3,4]
[-6,-5,-4,-3]

Flowchart:

ES6 Version:

function array_range(start, len) 
     {
		const arr = new Array(len);
		for (let i = 0; i < len; i++, start++) 
        {
			arr[i] = start;
		}
      		return arr;
}


console.log(array_range(1, 4));

console.log(array_range(-6, 4));

JavaScript: Tips of the Day

How to insert an item into an array at a specific index (JavaScript)?

What you want is the splice function on the native array object.

arr.splice(index, 0, item); will insert item into arr at the specified index (deleting 0 items first, that is, it's just an insert). In this example we will create an array and add an element to it into index 2:

var arr = []; arr[0] = "Jani"; arr[1] = "Hege"; arr[2] = "Stale"; arr[3] = "Kai Jim"; arr[4] = "Borge"; console.log(arr.join()); arr.splice(2, 0, "Lene"); console.log(arr.join());
