replaceAll

the method string.replaceAll(search, replaceWith) replaces all appearances of search string with replaceWith.

const str = 'this is a JSsnippets example';

const updatedStr = str.replace('example', 'snippet'); // 'this is a  JSsnippets snippet'


The tricky part is that replace method replaces only the very first match of the substring we have passed:


const str = 'this is a JSsnippets example and examples are great';

const updatedStr = str.replace('example', 'snippet'); //'this is a JSsnippets snippet and examples are great'

In order to go through this, we need to use a global regexp instead:


const str = 'this is a JSsnippets example and examples are great';

const updatedStr = str.replace(/example/g, 'snippet'); //'this is a JSsnippets snippet and snippets are greatr'

but now we have new friend in town, replaceAll

const str = 'this is a JSsnippets example and examples are great';

const updatedStr = str.replaceAll('example', 'snippet'); //'this is a JSsnippets snippet and snippets are greatr'

Fibonacci in Python

def fib_iter(n):
    if n == 0:
        return 0
    if n == 1:
        return 1
    p0 = 0
    p1 = 1
    for i in range(n-1):
        next_val = p0 + p1
        p0 = p1
        p1 = next_val
    return next_val
for i in range(10):
    print(f'{i}: {fib_iter(i)}')

Yesterday's Snippet of the day

def quicksort(l):
    # One of our base cases is an empty list or list with one element
    if len(l) == 0 or len(l) == 1:
        return l
    # If we have a left list, a pivot point and a right list...
    # assigns the return values of the partition() function
    left, pivot, right = partition(l)
    # Our sorted list looks like left + pivot + right, but sorted.
    # Pivot has to be in brackets to be a list, so python can concatenate all the elements to a single list
    return quicksort(left) + [pivot] + quicksort(right)



print(quicksort([]))



print(quicksort([1]))



print(quicksort([1,2]))

print(quicksort([2,1]))


print(quicksort([2,2]))


print(quicksort([5,3,9,4,8,1,7]))


print(quicksort([1,2,3,4,5,6,7]))


print(quicksort([9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1]))
