Suppose I have strings like the ones below:
"22N"
"3X"
"-12X"
"12T"
"123123T"
Now, I want to split the numbers
and alphabets
to form an array of pairs:
[22, "N"]
[3, "X"]
[-12, "X"]
[12, "T"]
[123123, "T"]
What I tried:
var first = parseInt(input.substring(0, input.length - 1));
var last = input.slice(-1);
This works, but is there any faster way, because I have to process millions of data.
Note : alphabets
are single character and always last .
Well, MDN
says next about the unary plus
unary plus is the fastest and preferred way of converting something into a number
If you believe it, you can take next approach:
let tests = ["22N", "3X", "-12X", "12T", "123123T"]; const splitNumLetter = (str) => [+str.slice(0, -1), str.slice(-1)]; tests.forEach(s => console.log(splitNumLetter(s)));
.as-console {background-color:black !important; color:lime;} .as-console-wrapper {max-height:100% !important; top:0;}
And maybe str.charAt(str.length - 1)
is faster than str.slice(-1)
. Here is a good performance comparison you can check: https://jsperf.com/charat-vs-index/5
This comes to my mind,
var str="22N";
str=str.split('');
var last = str.pop();
var last = str.join('');
By analyzing the pattern of your strings, numbers and letters are always left or right, never in the middle of the others. So, the fastest and code-cleanest way to achieve this is by using replace with regex.
The regex is necessary only once, since following this pattern I mention you can extract the numbers first and then just replace those extracted numbers from the same string.
Lets say you have your elements in an array variable:
var elements = [
"22N",
"3X",
"-12X",
"12T",
"123123T"
];
And then, you just need to loop trough every of them, no matter how much elements are present, you can use the forEach()
function after defining your final array:
var splitElements = [];
elements.forEach((string)=>{
let numbers = string.replace(/[a-zA-Z]/g, ''),
letters = string.replace(numbers,'');
splitElements.push([numbers,letters])
});
And then you can see the result at splitElements
. See how it works:
var elements = [ "22N", "3X", "-12X", "12T", "123123T" ], splitElements = []; elements.forEach((string)=>{ let numbers = string.replace(/[a-zA-Z]/g, ''), letters = string.replace(numbers,''); splitElements.push([numbers,letters]) }); console.log(splitElements);
