Chunky Monkey question

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:
Hello. So I came up with the following code to Chunky Monkey. For some reason the last two elements are omitted each time, and also if the last array would not have two elements, it is also omitted. I think it is because the end argument of slice needs to be larger than the length of the array, which would by the end of the for loop be 2, when indexes 4 and 5 are left in forArr. But it is still just equal to the array length. I tried multiple codes but am at a loss. Please tell me what I am missing here.

Your code so far

function chunkArrayInGroups(arr, size) {
  // Break it up.
  var m = arr.join("");
  var newArr = [];
  var forArr = arr;
  var n=0;
  

  for (i=0;i<forArr.length;i++) {
  newArr.push(forArr.slice(0,size));
   
    for (j=0;j<size;j++) {
      forArr.shift();
    } 
   
  }return newArr;
}

chunkArrayInGroups(["a", "b", "c", "d","e","f"], 2);

Work out what the last “chunk” length should be and add this after all the other loops finish.

I took a look and came up with the following code:


function chunkArrayInGroups(arr, size) {
  // Break it up.
  var m = arr.join("");
  var newArr = [];
  var forArr = arr;
  var n=0;
  

  for (i=0;i<forArr.length;i++) {
  newArr.push(forArr.slice(0,size));
   
    for (j=0;j<size;j++) {
      forArr.shift();
    } 
   
  }
  if (forArr.length>0) {
  newArr.push(forArr);
}
  return newArr;
}

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

As you can see, for the last test, it does for some reason ignore the fact that the last sub-array still contains three elements. I tried to add an else to the if statement, and re-add the for loops above but with no result. I can’t tell why this is happening.
