Iteration in TypeScript

Objectives

• After completing this assignment, you should be able to:
  • Demonstrate understanding of iteration/enumeration

Instructions

1. Fork this repository to your own account.
2. Change into your projects directory:
3. Clone your repository: hub clone ts-iteration
4. Change into your project's directory: cd ts-iteration
5. Install the dependencies: npm install
6. Open in your editor: code .
7. Start the test runner: npm start
8. In VS Code, open the file: src/functions.ts and work on functions until tests pass.
9. Commit and push your work to GitHub.

Explorer Mode

• As you write each function and make them pass the npm start screen will show your progress.
• Work until all the tests are passing

Epic Mode

• Using the forEach looping method and no other looping or enumeration helper, write your own version of the following methods, except name yours _map, _filter, etc.

  • Your method must accept an array and a callback function.
  • Example for your _map:

  const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  const doubled = _map(numbers, function (number) {
    return number * 2
  })
  // doubled needs to be [2,4,6,8,10]
  const increased = _map(numbers, function (number) {
    return number + 2
  })
  // increased needs to be [2,3,4,5,6]

  • map
  • filter
  • reduce
  • every
  • some

• Write some example usage of your new methods to demonstrate that they work
