Hi there!
I’m doing an exercise which requires me to remove every other repeated word from an array of words.
Basically i’ve gor an array with 188 words called betterWords and another array called overusedWords which contains the ones i’ve got to remove every other time they appear in the betterWords array.
Could someone give me a hint on how to do it??
Here’s the code: (It’s wrong but I can’t figure out how to do it)
Basically I thought I would keep the count of the overusedWords and then remove those in an odd index position from the betterWords array, but obviously that does not work.
let story = 'Last weekend, I took literally the most beautiful bike ride of my life. The route is called "The 9W to Nyack" and it actually stretches all the way from Riverside Park in Manhattan to South Nyack, New Jersey. It\'s really an adventure from beginning to end! It is a 48 mile loop and it basically took me an entire day. I stopped at Riverbank State Park to take some extremely artsy photos. It was a short stop, though, because I had a really long way left to go. After a quick photo op at the very popular Little Red Lighthouse, I began my trek across the George Washington Bridge into New Jersey. The GW is actually very long - 4,760 feet! I was already very tired by the time I got to the other side. An hour later, I reached Greenbrook Nature Sanctuary, an extremely beautiful park along the coast of the Hudson. Something that was very surprising to me was that near the end of the route you actually cross back into New York! At this point, you are very close to the end.';
let overusedWords = ['really', 'very', 'basically'];
let unnecessaryWords = ['extremely', 'literally', 'actually' ];
const storyWords = story.split(' ');
//console.log(storyWords.length);
const betterWords = storyWords.filter(word => {
if(unnecessaryWords.includes(word) === false) {
return word;
}
});
//console.log(betterWords);
let reallyCount = 0;
let veryCount = 0;
let basicallyCount = 0;
const removeEveryOtherWord = betterWords.forEach(word => {
if(word === overusedWords[0]) {
reallyCount++;
} else if (word === overusedWords[1]) {
veryCount++;
} else if (word === overusedWords[2]) {
basicallyCount++;
}
for(i = 0; i < reallyCount.length; i++) {
if(reallyCount[i] % 2 != 0) {
betterWords.splice(reallyCount[i]);
} else if (veryCount[i] % 2 != 0) {
betterWords.splice(veryCount[i]);
} else if (basicallyCount[i] % 2 != 0) {
betterWords.splice(basicallyCount[i]);
}
}
});
