Higher Order Function Examples

Example-1 without higher order function

var number = [1,2,3];
var result =[];

for (let i = 0; i < number.length;i++)
{
    result.push(number[i]*2);
}

console.log(result);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example-1 with higher order function

var number = [1,2,3];

var result = number.map((item)=>{
    return item * 2;
})

console.log(result);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example-2 without higher order function

var players =
[
    {
        name: 'A',
        avg: 33.2
    },
    {
        name: 'B',
        avg: 37.3 
    },
    {
        name: 'C',
        avg: 38.32
    },
    {
        name: 'D',
        avg: 40.76
    }
];

var UpdateResult = [];

for(var i = 0; i <players.length; i++)
{
    if(players[i].avg >= 37)
    {
       UpdateResult.push(players[i]);
    }
}

console.log(UpdateResult);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example-2 with higher order function

var players =
    [
        {
            name: 'A',
            avg: 33.2
        },
        {
            name: 'B',
            avg: 37.3
        },
        {
            name: 'C',
            avg: 38.32
        },
        {
            name: 'D',
            avg: 40.76
        }
    ];

var UpdateResult = players.filter((player) => player.avg >= 37);

console.log(UpdateResult);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example-3 without higher order function

var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4];

function getArraySum(array) {
    var total = 0;
    for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
        total += array[i];
    }
    return total;
}

var result = getArraySum(arr);

console.log(result)

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example-3 with higher order function

var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4];

var total = arr.reduce((sum, item) => {
    return result = sum + item;
})

console.log(result);

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
