Chunky monkey - how to decide on best method

Tell us what’s happening:
My code works, but it is different than any of the solutions. At this point in my learning, does it matter that I use the best performing method? How do I know what the best performing method is?

Your code so far


function chunkArrayInGroups(arr, size) {

let newArray = [];

for (let i=0; i<arr.length; i+=size) {
  newArray[i/size] = (arr.slice(i,i+size));
}

return newArray;
}

chunkArrayInGroups([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], 2);

  • Done is better than perfect.
  • It’s pretty common to solve a problem any way you can first and then look at it for opportunities to improve it. Much more common than doing it perfectly the first time.
  • Just because a solution is in the guide doesn’t mean its the best solution.

Honestly, the only thing I would change about your solution is that I would use newArray.push() instead of newArray[i/size] =. Otherwise, that’s how I would solve the problem.
