Instructions
Given a string made of digits [0-9], return a string where each digit is repeated a number of times equals to its value.
Examples
explode("312"); // => "333122"
explode("102269"); // => "12222666666999999999"
My solution:
function explode(s) {
return s.split('').map(d=>{
let y = '';
for(let i = 0; i < +d; i++){
y += d
}
return y
}).join('')
}
Explanation
First I splitted the first string into an array and mapped it, then I made a variable "y" that contained an empty string.
function explode(s) {
return s.split('').map(d=>{
let y = '';
Then I added a for loop that would continue iterating until the i varible is higher than the digit that is being mapped.
Inside of this loop I just added the digit string to the "y" variable, and at the end of this loop I just returned y
Input Digit: '4'
Output String: '4444'
at the end I would end up with an array of strings like this ones:
Input String: '4213'
Output String: ['4444', '22', '1', '333']
So at the end I just joined the result array so I get something like this.
Input string: ['4444', '22', '1', '333']
Output String: '4444221333'
