Iterating through an array with a function
var array = ['apple','banana','grapefruit','cantelope'];
// Backwards
function reportarray(array) {
var max = array.length;
console.log(array[max - 1]);
array.pop();
if(max > 1) {
return (reportarray(array));
} else {
return -1;
}
}
// Forwards
function reportarrayrev(array) {
var max = array.length;
console.log(array[0]);
array.shift();
if(max > 1) {
return (reportarrayrev(array));
} else {
return -1;
}
}
// Except this is destructive and destroys the array
// Now for a non-desctructive way
var array = ['apple','banana','grapefruit','cantelope'];
// Backwards
function reportarray(array) {
var arraynew = array.slice(0);
var max = arraynew.length;
console.log(arraynew[max - 1]);
arraynew.pop();
if(max > 1) {
return (reportarray(arraynew));
} else {
return -1;
}
}
// Forwards
function reportarrayrev(array) {
var arraynew = array.slice(0);
var max = array.length;
console.log(arraynew[0]);
arraynew.shift();
if(max > 1) {
return (reportarrayrev(arraynew));
} else {
return -1;
}
}
