Javascript: Search For An Array In An Array Of Arrays
I am looking at the best way to search for an instance of an array containing the elements of a given array, in an array of arrays. Now, I understand that that's a confusing line.
Solution 1:
You can use Array.prototype.some()
, Array.prototype.every()
to check each element of win
, score
const win = [
[0, 1, 2],
[3, 4, 5],
[6, 7, 8],
[0, 3, 6],
[1, 4, 7],
[2, 5, 8],
[0, 4, 8],
[2, 4, 6]
];
let board = [null, null, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, null, 0];
let score = [];
board.forEach(function(cell, index) {
if (cell === 1)
score.push(index);
});
console.log(score);
let bool = win.some(function(arr) {
return arr.every(function(prop, index) {
return score[index] === prop
})
});
console.log(bool);
Solution 2:
Using ES6 you can map the win
array to the actual values at each one of those locations:
const win = [[0,1,2],[3,4,5],[6,7,8],[0,3,6],[1,4,7],[2,5,8],[0,4,8],[2,4,6]];
let board = [null,null,1,0,1,0,1,null,0];
let winning_spots = win.map((spots) => spots.map((i) => board[i]));
>>> winning_spots
[[null, null, 1], [0, 1, 0], [1, null, 0], [null, 0, 1], [null, 1, null], [1, 0, 0], [null, 1, 0], [1, 1, 1]]
Then we can filter by which ones have all of either 1's or 0's:
let one_winners = winning_spots.filter((spots) => spots.every((e) => e == 1));
let zero_winners = winning_spots.filter((spots) => spots.every((e) => e == 0));
>>> one_winners
[[1, 1, 1]]
>>> zero_winners
[]
Finally, if we want to find whether there is a winner, just check the lengths:
let is_winner = (one_winners.length + zero_winners.length) > 0
