Finds the last n
elements for which the provided function returns a truthy value.
- Use a
for
loop to execute the providedmatcher
for each element ofarr
. - Use
Array.prototype.unshift()
to prepend elements to the results array and return them if itslength
is equal ton
.
const findLastN = (arr, matcher, n = 1) => {
let res = [];
for (let i = arr.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
const el = arr[i];
const match = matcher(el, i, arr);
if (match) res.unshift(el);
if (res.length === n) return res;
}
return res;
};
// EXAMPLES
findLastN([1, 2, 4, 6], n => n % 2 === 0, 2); // [4, 6]
findLastN([1, 2, 4, 6], n => n % 2 === 0, 5); // [2, 4, 6]
