We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of numbers. The function should sum odd indexed and even indexed elements separately and finally should return their absolute difference.
Example
const arr = [4, 6, 3, 1, 5, 8, 9, 3, 4]; const oddEvenDifference = (arr = []) => { let oddSum = 0; let evenSum = 0; for(let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){ const el = arr[i]; if(i % 2 === 0){ evenSum += el; }else{ oddSum += el; }; }; return Math.abs(oddSum - evenSum); }; console.log(oddEvenDifference(arr));
Output
And the output in the console will be −
