I have two arrays:
const array = [
[1, 7, 'AAA'],
[2, 5, 'BBB'],
[3, 2, 'CCC'],
[4, 4, 'DDD'],
[4, 9, 'EEE'],
[4, 2, 'FFF'],
[5, 8, 'GGG'],
[6, 2, 'HHH']];
const names = [
[1, 'Joe'],
[2, 'Dave'],
[3, 'Mike'],
[4, 'Sandra'],
[5, 'Sue'],
[6, 'Mary']];
Based on the value in the first column, I want to sum the values in the array[1] and list the three-character letters. The result I'm trying to get is:
const names = [
[1, 'Joe',7,'AAA'],
[2, 'Dave',5,'BBB'],
[3, 'Mike',2,'CCC'],
[4, 'Sandra',15,'DDD, EEE, FFF'],
[5, 'Sue',8,'GGG'],
[6, 'Mary',2,'HHH']]
I'm not sure of the best approach, I'm fairly new to Javascript. What I've managed to do is get the right result when a value in array[0] isn't repeated, but I can't get a sum or list to work.
const counter = (array,value) => array.filter((v) => (v === value)).length;
const arrayCol = (array,value) => array.map(v => v[value]);
const sum = (prevVal, curVal) => prevVal + curVal;
names.forEach ((p,e) => {
array.forEach ((v,x) => (counter(arrayCol(array,0),v[0])===1) ?
(v[0]===p[0]) && names[e].push(v[1],v[2]) :
(v[0]===p[0]) && names[e].push(array.reduce(sum,0)) );
});
console.log(names);
I'm sure the answer has to do with map
or filter
but not sure how... any pointers appreciated. Thank you
