distinct elements in js code example

Example 1: how to find unique elements in array in javascript

let a = ["1", "1", "2", "3", "3", "1"];
let unique = a.filter((item, i, ar) => ar.indexOf(item) === i);
console.log(unique);

Example 2: javascript get distinct values from array

const categories = ['General', 'Exotic', 'Extreme', 'Extreme', 'General' ,'Water', 'Extreme']
.filter((value, index, categoryArray) => categoryArray.indexOf(value) === index);

This will return an array that has the unique category names
['General', 'Exotic', 'Extreme', 'Water']

Example 3: javascript get intersection of two arrays

function getArraysIntersection(a1,a2){
    return  a1.filter(function(n) { return a2.indexOf(n) !== -1;});
}
var colors1 = ["red","blue","green"];
var colors2 = ["red","yellow","blue"];
var intersectingColors=getArraysIntersection(colors1, colors2); //["red", "blue"]

Example 4: sum of all elements in array javascript

arrSum = function(arr){  return arr.reduce(function(a,b){    return a + b  }, 0);}
