How to do a function that accepts an array AND a callback function as parameters

#1

Hey everyone,

I have been given this optional exercise for my school, that dives into advanced functions.
The exercise has 3 parts, and I did the first without diffulties. But then…

I tried to do a function as asked, but can’t achieve to get the right result.

Here is a link to my stackblitz : ** Exercice - Fonctions avancées - StackBlitz **

I’m not asking for the solution, just for help to get unstuck !
Thanks in advance for your time,

François

A few questions:

  • Why are using the spread syntax (...people) to pass in an argument to your function? Your arrayRefacto function expects an array as the first argument.

  • Have a look at the documentation for forEach and map. In particular, look at the “Return value” section in the documentation. Which of the two methods is more suitable for your task?

Thanks mtrtmk for your implication,

  • I was using the spread syntax because it wasn’t clear for me how I could use an array as a parameter, but it seems that it’s like anything else !

  • I went to see the documentation for forEach and map.
    I understand that the difference between those 2 is :

    • forEach returns undefined
    • map returns a new array with the result of the callback function

I know .map would be amazing but I simply can’t use it in the exercise, I need to modify the original array !

It seems that I missed some pieces on my way to the solution, as I thought not necessary to take the index as a parameter of the forEach function, to be able to call the callback function on each element of the array.
