总结对象数组的数组

Question

I have the following array with objects, and the object consists of an array. I would like to return the total length of the array "species".

let fish = [
    {
        "name": "salmon", 
        "species": [
            {
                "name": "atlantic salmon",
                "gender": "male"
            },
            {
                "name": "sockeye salmon",
                "gender": "female"
            },
        ],
    },  
    {
        "name": "carp", 
        "species": [
            {
                "name": "grass carp",
                "gender": "male"
            },
            {
                "name": "common carp",
                "gender": "female"
            },
        ],
    },  
]

I would like to get back a result of 4 from this but I'm not too sure how. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

Try this line. It works fine.

let fish = [
    {
        "name": "salmon", 
        "species": [
            {
                "name": "atlantic salmon",
                "gender": "male"
            },
            {
                "name": "sockeye salmon",
                "gender": "female"
            },
        ],
    },  
    {
        "name": "carp", 
        "species": [
            {
                "name": "grass carp",
                "gender": "male"
            },
            {
                "name": "common salmon",
                "gender": "female"
            },
        ],
    },  
];
const speciesCount = fish.flatMap(f => f.species).length;
console.log(speciesCount);

Answer 2

You could use .reduce to accumulate the length of species

const res = fish.reduce((acc, el) => acc + el.species.length, 0)

 let fish = [ { name: "salmon", species: [ { name: "atlantic salmon", gender: "male", }, { name: "sockeye salmon", gender: "female", }, ], }, { name: "carp", species: [ { name: "grass carp", gender: "male", }, { name: "common salmon", gender: "female", }, ], }, ] const res = fish.reduce((acc, el) => acc + el.species.length, 0) console.log(res)

Answer 3

Try this.

let count = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < fish.length; i++) {
  for (let j = 0; j < fish[i][species].length; i++) {
    count++;
  }
}
