indexOfSubstrings
Finds all the indexes of a substring in a given string.
- Use
Array.prototype.indexOf()
to look for searchValue
in str
.
- Use
yield
to return the index if the value is found and update the index, i
.
- Use a
while
loop that will terminate the generator as soon as the value returned from Array.prototype.indexOf()
is -1
.
const indexOfSubstrings = function* (str, searchValue) {
let i = 0;
while (true) {
const r = str.indexOf(searchValue, i);
if (r !== -1) {
yield r;
i = r + 1;
} else return;
}
};
[...indexOfSubstrings('tiktok tok tok tik tok tik', 'tik')]; // [0, 15, 23]
[...indexOfSubstrings('tutut tut tut', 'tut')]; // [0, 2, 6, 10]
[...indexOfSubstrings('hello', 'hi')]; // []
