We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of Number / String literals and returns another array of arrays. With each subarray containing exactly two elements, the nth element from start nth from last.
For example −
If the array is −
const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
Then the output should be −
const output = [[1, 6], [2, 5], [3, 4]];
Example
Following is the code −
const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
const edgePairs = arr => {
const res = [];
const upto = arr.length % 2 === 0 ? arr.length / 2 : arr.length / 2 - 1;
for(let i = 0; i < upto; i++){
res.push([arr[i], arr[arr.length-1-i]]);
};
if(arr.length % 2 !== 0){
res.push([arr[Math.floor(arr.length / 2)]]);
};
return res;
};
console.log(edgePairs(arr));Output
Following is the output in the console −
[ [ 1, 6 ], [ 2, 5 ], [ 3, 4 ] ]
