We have an array that contains some number literals and some string literals mixed, and we are required to write a sorting function that separates the two and the two types should also be sorted within.
The code for this sorting function will be −
Example
const arr = [1, 5, 'fd', 6, 'as', 'a', 'cx', 43, 's', 51, 7];
const sorter = (a, b) => {
const first = typeof a === 'number';
const second = typeof b === 'number';
if(first && second){
return a - b;
}else if(first && !second){
return -1;
}else if(!first && second){
return 1;
}else{
return a > b ? 1 : -1;
}
};
arr.sort(sorter);
console.log(arr);Output
The output in the console will be −
[ 1, 5, 6, 7, 43, 51, 'a', 'as', 'cx', 'fd', 's' ]
