Q: What do I mean by saying rectangle?
A: [[1,2,3],[1,2,3]]
inner arrays have more elements.
Example:
Input: [[1,2,3,4],[1,2,3,4],[1,2,3,4]]
Desired Output: [[1,1,1],[2,2,2],[3,3,3],[4,4,4]]
Output: [[1,1,1],[2,2,2],[3,3,3]]
The reason of the problem: main array has fewer elements, so, when I loop over it, as expected it will return an array with its own length. Shown in the example above.
This is what I tried with an arbitrary example.
const arr = [
[1, 2, 3],
[1, 2, 3],
];
const get_column = (arr, i) => arr.map((el) => el[i]);
const columns = arr.map((_, i, arr) => get_column(arr, i));
console.log(columns);
I know map method returns an array with the same length as main array. I also know this is a nested loop.
Thanks for the help.
Assuming "rectangle" implies each sub-array is of equal length:
array[0].map((_, i) => {
return array.map((el, _) => {
return el[i];
});
});
Or, for short:
array[0].map((_, i) => array.map((el, _) => el[i]));
