We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of numbers with duplicate entries and sums all the duplicate entries to one index
For example −
If the input array is −
const input = [1, 3, 1, 3, 5, 7, 5, 4];
Then the output should be −
const output = [2, 6, 7, 10, 4];
Example
Let’s write the code −
const input = [1, 3, 1, 3, 5, 7, 5, 3, 4]; const sumDuplicate = arr => { const map = arr.reduce((acc, val) => { if(acc.has(val)){ acc.set(val, acc.get(val) + 1); }else{ return acc; }, new Map()); } return Array.from(map, el => el[0] * el[1]); }; console.log(sumDuplicate(input));
Output
Following is the output in the console −
[ 2, 9, 10, 7, 4 ]
