javascript 用第二个数组值替换第一个数组值。 第一个数组长度为 2，第二个数组长度为 7

Question

I have two arrays a and b and i need to replace array b value with a.

a= [1,2];
b=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7];

Expected output should be like this

[1,2,1,2,1,2,1]

Answer 1

Simply

var output = b.map( function(item, index){
  return a[ index % a.length ]
});

Demo

 var a= [1,2]; var b=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7]; var output = b.map( function(item, index){ return a[ index % a.length ] }); console.log( JSON.stringify( output ) )

Answer 2

You could take the index of the target array and map the value of source array with the index and remainder operator for the given length.

 var a = [1, 2], b = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]; b = b.map((_, i) => a[i % a.length]); console.log(b);

Answer 3

You can use forEach to change the array in place and modulo to get the right index. You also can use map on the array if you want a new one.

 var a = [1,2] var b = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] var l = a.length b.forEach((el,idx,arr) => { arr[idx] = a[idx%l] }) console.log(b)
