I'm doing this javascript algorithm challenge which has this array ['cat', 'game', 'socks'] and it has an image of what it must return:
[
"******cat******",
"*******game*******",
"********socks********"
]
as you see, each word has a * more than the previous word, so not all words should be equal, would you use forEach? or how would you do it?
Also another question, I see my question is getting downvoted, If anybody sees something wrong, could you mention it please so I can fix it? Thanks in advance
I was not going to originally submit an answer, but why not.
My approach would be using a for loop to iterate the list once and maintaining a string that gets incremented with a * for every for call.
In big-o notation, this would be an O(n) solution.
let data = ['cat', 'game', 'socks']
let buffer = '*****';
for(let i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
data[i] = `${buffer}\n*${data[i]}*\n${buffer}`;
buffer += '*';
}
console.log(data)Collected from the Internet
