I am trying to solve a math problem where I take a number e.g. 45
, or 111
and then split the number into separate digits e.g. 4 5
or 1 1 1
. I will then save each number to a var to run a method on. Does anyone know how to split a number into individual digitals?
For example I have a loop that runs on an array :
for (var i = 0; i < range.length; i++) {
var n = range[i];
}
For each number, I would like to split its digits and add them together?
This question is related to
javascript
math
You can do it in single line, seperate each digits than add them together :
var may = 12987;
var sep = (""+may).split("").map(n=>+n).reduce((a,b)=>a+b);
('' + 123456789).split('').map( x => +x ).reduce( (a,b) => a+b ) === 45
true
or without map
('' + 123456789).split('').reduce( (a,b) => (+a)+(+b) ) === 45
true
You can try this.
var num = 99;
num=num.toString().split("").map(value=>parseInt(value,10)); //output [9,9]
Hope this helped!
To just split an integer into its individual digits in the same order, Regular Expression is what I used and prefer since it prevents the chance of loosing the identity of the numbers even after they have been converted into string.
The following line of code convert the integer into a string, uses regex to match any individual digit inside the string and return an array of those, after which that array is mapped to be converted back to numbers.
const digitize = n => String(n).match(/\d/g).map(Number);
With ES6, you could use Array.from
with a stringed number as iterables and Number
as mapping function.
const getDigits = n => Array.from(n.toString(), Number);_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(getDigits(12345));
_x000D_
javascript has a function for it and you can use it easily.
console.log(new Intl.NumberFormat().format(number));
for example :
console.log(new Intl.NumberFormat().format(2334325443534));
==> 2,334,325,443,534
Without converting to string:
function toDigits(number) {
var left;
var results = [];
while (true) {
left = number % 10;
results.unshift(left);
number = (number - left) / 10;
if (number === 0) {
break;
}
}
return results;
}
function iterateNumber(N, f) {
let n = N;
var length = Math.log(n) * Math.LOG10E + 1 | 0;
for (let i = 0; i < length; i++) {
const pow = Math.pow(10, length - i - 1)
let c = (n - (n % pow)) / pow
f(c, i)
n %= pow
}
}
A functional approach in order to get digits from a number
would be to get a string
from your number
, split it into an array
(of characters) and map each element back into a number.
For example:
var number = 123456;
var array = number.toString()
.split('')
.map(function(item, index) {
return parseInt(item);
});
console.log(array); // returns [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
If you also need to sum all digits, you can append the reduce()
method to the previous code:
var num = 123456;
var array = num.toString()
.split('')
.map(function(item, index) {
return parseInt(item);
})
.reduce(function(previousValue, currentValue, index, array) {
return previousValue + currentValue;
}, 0);
console.log(array); // returns 21
As an alternative, with ECMAScript 2015 (6th Edition), you can use arrow functions:
var number = 123456;
var array = number.toString().split('').map((item, index) => parseInt(item));
console.log(array); // returns [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
If you need to sum all digits, you can append the reduce()
method to the previous code:
var num = 123456;
var result = num.toString()
.split('')
.map((item, index) => parseInt(item))
.reduce((previousValue, currentValue) => previousValue + currentValue, 0);
console.log(result); // returns 21
You can also do it in the "mathematical" way without treating the number as a string:
var num = 278;_x000D_
var digits = [];_x000D_
while (num > 0) {_x000D_
digits.push(num % 10);_x000D_
num = parseInt(num / 10);_x000D_
}_x000D_
digits.reverse();_x000D_
console.log(digits);
_x000D_
One upside I can see is that you won't have to run parseInt()
on every digit, you're dealing with the actual digits as numeric values.
Shadow Wizard , extended version by Orien
var num:Number = 1523;
var digits:Array = [];
var cnt:int = 0;
while (num > 0) {
var mod:int = num % 10;
digits.push(mod * Math.pow(10, cnt))
num = Math.floor(num / 10);
cnt++;
}
digits.reverse();
trace(digits);
output:1000,500,20,3
I used this simple way of doing it.
To split digits
var N = 69;
var arr = N.toString().split('').map(Number)
// outputs [6,9]
console.log( arr );
To add them together
console.log(arr.reduce( (a,b) => a+b )); // 15
I will provide a variation on an answer already given so you can see a different approach that preserves the numeric type all along:
var number = 12354987,
output = [];
while (number) {
output.push(number % 10);
number = Math.floor(number/10);
}
console.log(output.reverse().join(',')); // 1,2,3,5,4,9,8,7
I've used a technique such as the above to good effect when converting a number to Roman numerals, which is one of my favorite ways to begin to learn a programming language I'm not familiar with. For instance here is how I devised a way to convert numbers to Roman numerals with Tcl slightly after the turn of the century: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/68379-conversion-to-roman-numerals/
The comparable lines in my Tcl script being:
while {$arabic} {
set digit [expr {$arabic%10}]
set arabic [expr {$arabic/10}]
var num = 111,
separateDigits = num.toString().split(""), i, l = separateDigits.length;
for( i = 0; i < l; ++i ) {
someObject.someMethod( +separateDigits[i] );
}
I might be wrong, but a solution picking up bits and pieces. Perhaps, as I still learning, is that the functions does many things in the same one. Do not hesitate to correct me, please.
const totalSum = (num) => [...num + ' '].map(Number).reduce((a, b) => a + b);
So we take the parameter and convert it to and arr, adding empty spaces. We do such operation in every single element and push it into a new array with the map method. Once splited, we use reduce to sum all the elements and get the total.
As I said, don't hesitate to correct me or improve the function if you see something that I don't.
Almost forgot, just in case:
const totalSum = (num) => ( num === 0 || num < 0) ? 'I need a positive number' : [...num + ' '].map(Number).reduce((a, b) => a + b);
If negatives numbers or just plain zero go down as parameters. Happy coding to us all.
A fun introduction to recursion. This answer takes a Number and returns an array of Number digits. It does not convert the number to a string as an intermediate step.
Given n = 1234
,
n % 10
will return first (right-moist) digit, 4
n / 10
will return 123
with some remainderMath.floor
we can chop the remainder offNow we just have to build the recursion condition,
const digits = (n = 0) =>_x000D_
n < 10_x000D_
? [ n ]_x000D_
: [ ... digits (Math.floor (n / 10)), n % 10 ]_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log (digits ()) // [ 0 ]_x000D_
console.log (digits (1)) // [ 1 ]_x000D_
console.log (digits (12)) // [ 1, 2 ]_x000D_
console.log (digits (123)) // [ 1, 2, 3 ]_x000D_
console.log (digits (11234)) // [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log (digits (123456789012))_x000D_
// [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1, 2 ]
_x000D_
This also works:
var number = 12354987;_x000D_
console.log(String(number).split('').map(Number));
_x000D_
Iterate through each number with for...of
statement.
By adding a +
sign before a String, it will be converted into a number.
const num = 143,
digits = [];
for (const digit of `${num}`) {
digits.push(+digit)
}
console.log(digits);
_x000D_
Inspired by @iampopov You can write it with spread syntax.
const num = 143;
const digits = [...`${num}`].map(Number);
console.log(digits);
_x000D_
This is my short solution.. with sum of number
function sum (num) {
let sNumber = num
.toString()
.split('')
.reduce((el1, el2) => {
return Number(el1) + Number(el2)
}, 0)
return sNumber
}
console.log(sum(123))
console.log(sum(456))
You can work on strings instead of numbers to achieve this. You can do it like this
(111 + '').split('')
This will return an array of strings ['1','1','1']
on which you can iterate upon and call parseInt
method.
parseInt('1') === 1
If you want the sum of individual digits, you can use the reduce function (implemented from Javascript 1.8) like this
(111 + '').split('').reduce(function(previousValue, currentValue){
return parseInt(previousValue,10) + parseInt(currentValue,10);
})
var num = 123456;_x000D_
var digits = num.toString().split('');_x000D_
var realDigits = digits.map(Number)_x000D_
console.log(realDigits);
_x000D_
// Split positive integer n < 1e21 into digits:_x000D_
function digits(n) {_x000D_
return Array.from(String(n), Number);_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
// Example:_x000D_
console.log(digits(1234)); // [1, 2, 3, 4]
_x000D_
Using String
, ...
and map
const num = 7890;
const digits = [...String(num)].map(Number);
console.log(digits)
_x000D_
Alternatively, using ...
and reduce
to get digits and their sum.
const sumOfDigits = num => [...""+num].reduce((acc, dig) => acc + +dig, 0);
console.log('Sum of digits: ', sumOfDigits(7890));
_x000D_
And the easiest.... num_string.split('').map(Number)
Try below:
console.log((''+123).split('').map(Number))
_x000D_
Separate each 2 parametr.
function separator(str,sep) {
var output = '';
for (var i = str.length; i > 0; i-=2) {
var ii = i-1;
if(output) {
output = str.charAt(ii-1)+str.charAt(ii)+sep+output;
} else {
output = str.charAt(ii-1)+str.charAt(ii);
}
}
return output;
}
console.log(separator('123456',':')); //Will return 12:34:56
I am posting this answer to introduce the use of unshift which is a modern solution. With push
, you add to the end of an array while unshift adds to the beginning. This makes the mathematical approach more powerful as you won't need to reverse anymore.
let num = 278;
let digits = [];
while (num > 0) {
digits.unshift(num % 10);
num = parseInt(num / 10);
}
console.log(digits);
_x000D_
This is the shortest I've found, though it does return the digits as strings:
let num = 12345;
[...num+''] //["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"]
Or use this to get back integers:
[...num+''].map(n=>+n) //[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
