We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a string sentence as first and the only argument. The function should return the length of the second smallest word from the string.
For example: If the string is −
const str = 'This is a sample string';
Then the output should be 2.
Example
Following is the code −
const str = 'This is a sample string';
const secondSmallest = str => {
const strArr = str.split(' ');
if(strArr.length < 2){
return false;
}
for(let i = 0; i < strArr.length; i++){
strArr[i] = strArr[i].length;
};
strArr.sort((a, b) => a - b);
return strArr[1];
};
console.log(secondSmallest(str));Output
Following is the output in the console −
2
