Hi guys.
So, I want that my arr to keep multiplying itself until a number is found in a new array which has no remainder in each number of the first array.
I have a program that multiples itself, and also have a program that check if a number has a remainder.
Now I want my isRemainder program to check if multipleArr has a remainder with every number in arr, and if not to multiply again, I am not sure how to write it down… Please assist : )
P.S. I have the while loop but I don’t know how to continue it.
**Your code so far**
function smallestCommons(arr) {
let endNum = arr[1];
let startNum = arr[0];
let rangeNums = endNum - startNum;
arr.sort();
while (rangeNums !== startNum) {
arr.push(rangeNums);
rangeNums--;
}
arr.sort();
console.log(arr)
const multiples = (num) => num + num;
const multipleArr = arr.map(multiples);
console.log(multipleArr)
const isRemainder = (num) => num % 2 == 0;
while (multipleArr) {
}
}
smallestCommons([1,5]);
/*

find range
while (endNum - startNum !== startNum) {
endNum - startNum + 1
I want the arr to keep multiplying itself until a number is found that is divisible without leftover for every number in that previous array.
}

// suppose we have arr like [10, 3]
let endNum = arr[1];
let startNum = arr[0];
// next line will result in -7
let rangeNums = endNum - startNum;
// here you try to sort numeric array with the default sorting method

arr.sort();

// again incorrect sorting
arr.sort();

}
I have added these lines:
now I know it’s not good enough yet, my problem is I want my checker to check remainder for every element in arr array, but how to do it? since I can’t access variables/arrays like objects.
I understand for syntax if I want to check arr elements I have to write it first, but I want every element in checker to check every element in arr… how to write that ;p? and while there is a remainder (false) then checker multiples.
Let’s clarify the algorithm that you’re trying to implement:
we have a few numbers, and we want to find such a number that may be divided by every given number without remainder.
the most straightforward approach is to get the maximum number from our list of numbers and check if it can be divided by every other number without remainder.
if it can not be divided, then we increase it like: curMult += maxNumber
and check again if every other number from the list can be divided or not by curMult.
1 2 3 4 5: max is 5 // max is 5, 5 can not be divided by all other numbers without remainder
1 2 3 4 5: 10 // false
1 2 3 4 5: 15 // false
1 2 3 4 5: 20 // false
and so on
1 2 3 4 5: 60 // ok - answer is 60
function smallestCommons(arr) {
let endNum = arr[1];
let startNum = arr[0];
let rangeNums = endNum - startNum;
arr.sort();
while (rangeNums !== startNum) {
arr.push(rangeNums);
rangeNums--;
}
arr.sort();
console.log(arr)
let checker = arr.slice(-1)[0];
const isRemainder = (num) => num % 2 == 0;
//arr.every(isRemainder(checker));
for (let i =0; i < arr.length; i++) {
console.log(checker % arr[i] !== 0)
while (checker % arr[i] !== 0) {
checker = checker + arr.slice(-1)[0];
}
}
}

Don’t mind sort AT the moment, I’ll fix it when my algorithm works.
Now my second while loop isn’t doing what I want to do , since it only checks 3 of them since the rest pass… how can I fix it?
another question, I tried something using this code //arr.every(isRemainder(checker)); but it is not doing what I wanted it to do, i wanted isRemainder function to take checker as parameter but it is not doing it, any way to re type the syntax so it will do it?
As the task states: The range will be an array of two numbers that will not necessarily be in numerical order. So, the endNum maybe smaller than the startNum.
So maybe you want to sort the arr prior to creating of those two vars.
while (rangeNums !== startNum)
This loop may go infinite. You need to fix the condition.
arr.push(rangeNums);
Here you don’t want to push this range.
I want the highest number in the given range to be divided, and have no remainder. if it has a remainder i want the number to double itself and divide again until the first number that has no remainders.
Now I have tried to do it with the while loop and i understand why it doesn’t work and so on and on.
and also tried with the other command I wrote about. thanks
for (let i =0; i < arr.length; i++) {
console.log(checker % arr[i] !== 0)
while (checker % arr[i] !== 0) {
checker = checker + arr.slice(-1)[0];
}
}
problem in this that my while only checks 3, because 2 passes, so I don’t know how to go around that…
let checker = arr.slice(-1)[0];
const isRemainder = (num) => num % 2 == 0;
I also tried this command //arr.every(isRemainder(checker));
but I am not sure whether this syntax can be written and if so how? i want isRemainder function to use checker variable as a parameter.
where exactly am i replicating logic in my code?
So i iterate through ARR to get the single elements.
checker is the highest number in the range.
then my while has a condition to check if the highest number doesn’t have a remainder with each iteration…
since it is only 3 it only does the adding command i have next on only 3 of them.
so something about my condition is wrong but how can I make on every without using every method.
or this simple code that doesn’t work xD //arr.every(isRemainder(checker)); is it possible to make it work on one line like I want to ?
