Tell us what’s happening:
On the Smallest Common Multiple challange I use a while-loop solution that executes one time for a given number (num), where it checks the modulo return over each item using a filter. This works just fine for smaller ranges (e.g. [2,10],) but the in-built protection implemented by FCC using JSBin stops the loop before it finishes, and the last two challanges fail as a result of this. I have tried to add //noprotect at several places in the code, with no results. Below is my latest try. (I have also tried to add //noprotect above and within the function.)
Your code so far
/*jshint esnext: true */
function smallestCommons(arr) {
arr.sort((a,b) => a-b);
let directive = [];
for (let i = arr[0]; i<=arr[arr.length-1];i++) {
directive.push(i);
}
console.log(directive);
let num = 1;
let numFound = false;
while(numFound == false) {
let filtered = directive.filter( item => num % item == 0);
filtered.length == directive.length ? numFound = true : num++;
}
console.log(num);
return num;
}
//noprotect
smallestCommons([1,13]);
