0052【Edabit ★☆☆☆☆☆】Learn Lodash: _.drop, Drop the First Elements of an Array

arrays

Instructions

According to the lodash documentation, _.drop creates a slice of an array with n elements dropped from the beginning.

Your challenge is to write your own version using vanilla JavaScript.

Examples

drop([1, 2, 3], 1) // [2, 3]
drop([1, 2, 3], 2) // [3]
drop([1, 2, 3], 5) // []
drop([1, 2, 3], 0) // [1, 2, 3]

Notes

• Do not attempt to import lodash; you are simply writing your own version.

Solutions

function drop(arr, val = 1) {while(val-->0){arr.shift();}return arr;
}

TestCases

let Test = (function(){return {assertEquals:function(actual,expected){if(actual !== expected){let errorMsg = `actual is ${actual},${expected} is expected`;throw new Error(errorMsg);}},assertSimilar:function(actual,expected){if(actual.length != expected.length){throw new Error(`length is not equals, ${actual},${expected}`);}for(let a of actual){if(!expected.includes(a)){throw new Error(`missing ${a}`);}}}}
})();Test.assertSimilar(drop([1, 2, 3], 2), [3])
Test.assertSimilar(drop([1, 2, 3], 5), [])
Test.assertSimilar(drop([1, 2, 3], 0), [1, 2, 3])
Test.assertSimilar(drop(["banana", "orange", "watermelon", "mango"], 2), ["watermelon", "mango"])
Test.assertSimilar(drop([], 2), [])
