### call
Given a key and a set of arguments, call them when given a context. Primarily useful in composition.
Use a closure to call a stored key with stored arguments.
```js
const call = (key, ...args) => context => context[key](...args);
```
Examples
```js
Promise.resolve([1, 2, 3])
.then(call('map', x => 2 * x))
.then(console.log); //[ 2, 4, 6 ]
const map = call.bind(null, 'map');
Promise.resolve([1, 2, 3])
.then(map(x => 2 * x))
.then(console.log); //[ 2, 4, 6 ]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### collectInto
Changes a function that accepts an array into a variadic function.
Given a function, return a closure that collects all inputs into an array-accepting function.
```js
const collectInto = fn => (...args) => fn(args);
```
Examples
```js
const Pall = collectInto(Promise.all.bind(Promise));
let p1 = Promise.resolve(1);
let p2 = Promise.resolve(2);
let p3 = new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000, 3));
Pall(p1, p2, p3).then(console.log);
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### flip
Flip takes a function as an argument, then makes the first argument the last
Return a closure that takes variadic inputs, and splices the last argument to make it the first argument before applying the rest.
```js
const flip = fn => (...args) => fn(args.pop(), ...args);
```
Examples
```js
let a = { name: 'John Smith' };
let b = {};
const mergeFrom = flip(Object.assign);
let mergePerson = mergeFrom.bind(null, a);
mergePerson(b); // == b
b = {};
Object.assign(b, a); // == b
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### pipeFunctions
Performs left-to-right function composition.
Use `Array.reduce()` with the spread operator (`...`) to perform left-to-right function composition.
The first (leftmost) function can accept one or more arguments; the remaining functions must be unary.
```js
const pipeFunctions = (...fns) => fns.reduce((f, g) => (...args) => g(f(...args)));
```
Examples
```js
const add5 = x => x + 5;
const multiply = (x, y) => x * y;
const multiplyAndAdd5 = pipeFunctions(multiply, add5);
multiplyAndAdd5(5, 2); // 15
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### promisify
Converts an asynchronous function to return a promise.
Use currying to return a function returning a `Promise` that calls the original function.
Use the `...rest` operator to pass in all the parameters.
*In Node 8+, you can use [`util.promisify`](https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_promisify_original)*
```js
const promisify = func => (...args) =>
new Promise((resolve, reject) =>
func(...args, (err, result) => (err ? reject(err) : resolve(result)))
);
```
Examples
```js
const delay = promisify((d, cb) => setTimeout(cb, d));
delay(2000).then(() => console.log('Hi!')); // // Promise resolves after 2s
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### spreadOver
Takes a variadic function and returns a closure that accepts an array of arguments to map to the inputs of the function.
Use closures and the spread operator (`...`) to map the array of arguments to the inputs of the function.
```js
const spreadOver = fn => argsArr => fn(...argsArr);
```
Examples
```js
const arrayMax = spreadOver(Math.max);
arrayMax([1, 2, 3]); // 3
arrayMax([1, 2, 4]); // 4
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
## Array
### chunk
Chunks an array into smaller arrays of a specified size.
Use `Array.from()` to create a new array, that fits the number of chunks that will be produced.
Use `Array.slice()` to map each element of the new array to a chunk the length of `size`.
If the original array can't be split evenly, the final chunk will contain the remaining elements.
```js
const chunk = (arr, size) =>
Array.from({ length: Math.ceil(arr.length / size) }, (v, i) =>
arr.slice(i * size, i * size + size)
);
```
Examples
```js
chunk([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 2); // [[1,2],[3,4],[5]]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### compact
Removes falsey values from an array.
Use `Array.filter()` to filter out falsey values (`false`, `null`, `0`, `""`, `undefined`, and `NaN`).
```js
const compact = arr => arr.filter(Boolean);
```
Examples
```js
compact([0, 1, false, 2, '', 3, 'a', 'e' * 23, NaN, 's', 34]); // [ 1, 2, 3, 'a', 's', 34 ]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### countOccurrences
Counts the occurrences of a value in an array.
Use `Array.reduce()` to increment a counter each time you encounter the specific value inside the array.
```js
const countOccurrences = (arr, value) => arr.reduce((a, v) => (v === value ? a + 1 : a + 0), 0);
```
Examples
```js
countOccurrences([1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3], 1); // 3
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### deepFlatten
Deep flattens an array.
Use recursion.
Use `Array.concat()` with an empty array (`[]`) and the spread operator (`...`) to flatten an array.
Recursively flatten each element that is an array.
```js
const deepFlatten = arr => [].concat(...arr.map(v => (Array.isArray(v) ? deepFlatten(v) : v)));
```
Examples
```js
deepFlatten([1, [2], [[3], 4], 5]); // [1,2,3,4,5]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### difference
Returns the difference between two arrays.
Create a `Set` from `b`, then use `Array.filter()` on `a` to only keep values not contained in `b`.
```js
const difference = (a, b) => {
const s = new Set(b);
return a.filter(x => !s.has(x));
};
```
Examples
```js
difference([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 4]); // [3]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### differenceWith
Filters out all values from an array for which the comparator function does not return `true`.
Use `Array.filter()` and `Array.find()` to find the appropriate values.
```js
const differenceWith = (arr, val, comp) => arr.filter(a => !val.find(b => comp(a, b)));
```
Examples
```js
differenceWith([1, 1.2, 1.5, 3], [1.9, 3], (a, b) => Math.round(a) == Math.round(b)); // [1, 1.2]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### distinctValuesOfArray
Returns all the distinct values of an array.
Use ES6 `Set` and the `...rest` operator to discard all duplicated values.
```js
const distinctValuesOfArray = arr => [...new Set(arr)];
```
Examples
```js
distinctValuesOfArray([1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5]); // [1,2,3,4,5]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### dropElements
Removes elements in an array until the passed function returns `true`. Returns the remaining elements in the array.
Loop through the array, using `Array.slice()` to drop the first element of the array until the returned value from the function is `true`.
Returns the remaining elements.
```js
const dropElements = (arr, func) => {
while (arr.length > 0 && !func(arr[0])) arr = arr.slice(1);
return arr;
};
```
Examples
```js
dropElements([1, 2, 3, 4], n => n >= 3); // [3,4]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### dropRight
Returns a new array with `n` elements removed from the right.
Use `Array.slice()` to slice the remove the specified number of elements from the right.
```js
const dropRight = (arr, n = 1) => arr.slice(0, -n);
```
Examples
```js
dropRight([1, 2, 3]); // [1,2]
dropRight([1, 2, 3], 2); // [1]
dropRight([1, 2, 3], 42); // []
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### everyNth
Returns every nth element in an array.
Use `Array.filter()` to create a new array that contains every nth element of a given array.
```js
const everyNth = (arr, nth) => arr.filter((e, i) => i % nth === nth - 1);
```
Examples
```js
everyNth([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 2); // [ 2, 4, 6 ]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### filterNonUnique
Filters out the non-unique values in an array.
Use `Array.filter()` for an array containing only the unique values.
```js
const filterNonUnique = arr => arr.filter(i => arr.indexOf(i) === arr.lastIndexOf(i));
```
Examples
```js
filterNonUnique([1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5]); // [1,3,5]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### flatten
Flattens an array.
Use a new array and concatenate it with the spread input array causing a shallow denesting of any contained arrays.
```js
const flatten = arr => [].concat(...arr);
```
Examples
```js
flatten([1, [2], 3, 4]); // [1,2,3,4]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### flattenDepth
Flattens an array up to the specified depth.
Use recursion, decrementing `depth` by 1 for each level of depth.
Use `Array.reduce()` and `Array.concat()` to merge elements or arrays.
Base case, for `depth` equal to `1` stops recursion.
Omit the second element, `depth` to flatten only to a depth of `1` (single flatten).
```js
const flattenDepth = (arr, depth = 1) =>
depth != 1
? arr.reduce((a, v) => a.concat(Array.isArray(v) ? flattenDepth(v, depth - 1) : v), [])
: arr.reduce((a, v) => a.concat(v), []);
```
Examples
```js
flattenDepth([1, [2], 3, 4]); // [1,2,3,4]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### groupBy
Groups the elements of an array based on the given function.
Use `Array.map()` to map the values of an array to a function or property name.
Use `Array.reduce()` to create an object, where the keys are produced from the mapped results.
```js
const groupBy = (arr, func) =>
arr.map(typeof func === 'function' ? func : val => val[func]).reduce((acc, val, i) => {
acc[val] = (acc[val] || []).concat(arr[i]);
return acc;
}, {});
```
Examples
```js
groupBy([6.1, 4.2, 6.3], Math.floor); // {4: [4.2], 6: [6.1, 6.3]}
groupBy(['one', 'two', 'three'], 'length'); // {3: ['one', 'two'], 5: ['three']}
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### head
Returns the head of a list.
Use `arr[0]` to return the first element of the passed array.
```js
const head = arr => arr[0];
```
Examples
```js
head([1, 2, 3]); // 1
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### initial
Returns all the elements of an array except the last one.
Use `arr.slice(0,-1)` to return all but the last element of the array.
```js
const initial = arr => arr.slice(0, -1);
```
Examples
```js
initial([1, 2, 3]); // [1,2]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### initialize2DArray
Initializes a 2D array of given width and height and value.
Use `Array.map()` to generate h rows where each is a new array of size w initialize with value. If the value is not provided, default to `null`.
```js
const initialize2DArray = (w, h, val = null) =>
Array(h)
.fill()
.map(() => Array(w).fill(val));
```
Examples
```js
initialize2DArray(2, 2, 0); // [[0,0], [0,0]]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### initializeArrayWithRange
Initializes an array containing the numbers in the specified range where `start` and `end` are inclusive.
Use `Array((end + 1) - start)` to create an array of the desired length, `Array.map()` to fill with the desired values in a range.
You can omit `start` to use a default value of `0`.
```js
const initializeArrayWithRange = (end, start = 0) =>
Array.from({ length: end + 1 - start }).map((v, i) => i + start);
```
Examples
```js
initializeArrayWithRange(5); // [0,1,2,3,4,5]
initializeArrayWithRange(7, 3); // [3,4,5,6,7]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### initializeArrayWithValues
Initializes and fills an array with the specified values.
Use `Array(n)` to create an array of the desired length, `fill(v)` to fill it with the desired values.
You can omit `value` to use a default value of `0`.
```js
const initializeArrayWithValues = (n, value = 0) => Array(n).fill(value);
```
Examples
```js
initializeArrayWithValues(5, 2); // [2,2,2,2,2]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### intersection
Returns a list of elements that exist in both arrays.
Create a `Set` from `b`, then use `Array.filter()` on `a` to only keep values contained in `b`.
```js
const intersection = (a, b) => {
const s = new Set(b);
return a.filter(x => s.has(x));
};
```
Examples
```js
intersection([1, 2, 3], [4, 3, 2]); // [2,3]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### last
Returns the last element in an array.
Use `arr.length - 1` to compute the index of the last element of the given array and returning it.
```js
const last = arr => arr[arr.length - 1];
```
Examples
```js
last([1, 2, 3]); // 3
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### mapObject
Maps the values of an array to an object using a function, where the key-value pairs consist of the original value as the key and the mapped value.
Use an anonymous inner function scope to declare an undefined memory space, using closures to store a return value. Use a new `Array` to store the array with a map of the function over its data set and a comma operator to return a second step, without needing to move from one context to another (due to closures and order of operations).
```js
const mapObject = (arr, fn) =>
(a => (
(a = [arr, arr.map(fn)]), a[0].reduce((acc, val, ind) => ((acc[val] = a[1][ind]), acc), {})
))();
```
Examples
```js
const squareIt = arr => mapObject(arr, a => a * a);
squareIt([1, 2, 3]); // { 1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9 }
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### nthElement
Returns the nth element of an array.
Use `Array.slice()` to get an array containing the nth element at the first place.
If the index is out of bounds, return `[]`.
Omit the second argument, `n`, to get the first element of the array.
```js
const nthElement = (arr, n = 0) => (n > 0 ? arr.slice(n, n + 1) : arr.slice(n))[0];
```
Examples
```js
nthElement(['a', 'b', 'c'], 1); // 'b'
nthElement(['a', 'b', 'b'], -3); // 'a'
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### pick
Picks the key-value pairs corresponding to the given keys from an object.
Use `Array.reduce()` to convert the filtered/picked keys back to an object with the corresponding key-value pair if the key exists in the obj.
```js
const pick = (obj, arr) =>
arr.reduce((acc, curr) => (curr in obj && (acc[curr] = obj[curr]), acc), {});
```
Examples
```js
pick({ a: 1, b: '2', c: 3 }, ['a', 'c']); // { 'a': 1, 'c': 3 }
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### pull
Mutates the original array to filter out the values specified.
Use `Array.filter()` and `Array.includes()` to pull out the values that are not needed.
Use `Array.length = 0` to mutate the passed in an array by resetting it's length to zero and `Array.push()` to re-populate it with only the pulled values.
_(For a snippet that does not mutate the original array see [`without`](#without))_
```js
const pull = (arr, ...args) => {
let argState = Array.isArray(args[0]) ? args[0] : args;
let pulled = arr.filter((v, i) => !argState.includes(v));
arr.length = 0;
pulled.forEach(v => arr.push(v));
};
```
Examples
```js
let myArray1 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'a', 'b', 'c'];
pull(myArray1, 'a', 'c');
console.log(myArray1); // [ 'b', 'b' ]
let myArray2 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'a', 'b', 'c'];
pull(myArray2, ['a', 'c']);
console.log(myArray2); // [ 'b', 'b' ]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### pullAtIndex
Mutates the original array to filter out the values at the specified indexes.
Use `Array.filter()` and `Array.includes()` to pull out the values that are not needed.
Use `Array.length = 0` to mutate the passed in an array by resetting it's length to zero and `Array.push()` to re-populate it with only the pulled values.
Use `Array.push()` to keep track of pulled values
```js
const pullAtIndex = (arr, pullArr) => {
let removed = [];
let pulled = arr
.map((v, i) => (pullArr.includes(i) ? removed.push(v) : v))
.filter((v, i) => !pullArr.includes(i));
arr.length = 0;
pulled.forEach(v => arr.push(v));
return removed;
};
```
Examples
```js
let myArray = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
let pulled = pullAtIndex(myArray, [1, 3]);
console.log(myArray); // [ 'a', 'c' ]
console.log(pulled); // [ 'b', 'd' ]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### pullAtValue
Mutates the original array to filter out the values specified. Returns the removed elements.
Use `Array.filter()` and `Array.includes()` to pull out the values that are not needed.
Use `Array.length = 0` to mutate the passed in an array by resetting it's length to zero and `Array.push()` to re-populate it with only the pulled values.
Use `Array.push()` to keep track of pulled values
```js
const pullAtValue = (arr, pullArr) => {
let removed = [],
pushToRemove = arr.forEach((v, i) => (pullArr.includes(v) ? removed.push(v) : v)),
mutateTo = arr.filter((v, i) => !pullArr.includes(v));
arr.length = 0;
mutateTo.forEach(v => arr.push(v));
return removed;
};
```
Examples
```js
let myArray = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
let pulled = pullAtValue(myArray, ['b', 'd']);
console.log(myArray); // [ 'a', 'c' ]
console.log(pulled); // [ 'b', 'd' ]
```

### quickSort
QuickSort an Array (ascending sort by default).
Use recursion.
Use `Array.filter` and spread operator (`...`) to create an array that all elements with values less than the pivot come before the pivot, and all elements with values greater than the pivot come after it.
If the parameter `desc` is truthy, return array sorts in descending order.
```js
const quickSort = ([n, ...nums], desc) =>
isNaN(n)
? []
: [
...quickSort(nums.filter(v => (desc ? v > n : v <= n)), desc),
n,
...quickSort(nums.filter(v => (!desc ? v > n : v <= n)), desc)
];
```
Examples
```js
quickSort([4, 1, 3, 2]); // [1,2,3,4]
quickSort([4, 1, 3, 2], true); // [4,3,2,1]
```

### remove
Removes elements from an array for which the given function returns `false`.
Use `Array.filter()` to find array elements that return truthy values and `Array.reduce()` to remove elements using `Array.splice()`.
The `func` is invoked with three arguments (`value, index, array`).
```js
const remove = (arr, func) =>
Array.isArray(arr)
? arr.filter(func).reduce((acc, val) => {
arr.splice(arr.indexOf(val), 1);
return acc.concat(val);
}, [])
: [];
```
Examples
```js
remove([1, 2, 3, 4], n => n % 2 == 0); // [2, 4]
```

### sample
Returns a random element from an array.
Use `Math.random()` to generate a random number, multiply it by `length` and round it of to the nearest whole number using `Math.floor()`.
This method also works with strings.
```js
const sample = arr => arr[Math.floor(Math.random() * arr.length)];
```
Examples
```js
sample([3, 7, 9, 11]); // 9
```

### shuffle
Randomizes the order of the values of an array, returning a new array.
Uses the Fisher-Yates algoritm to reorder the elements of the array, based on the [Lodash implementation](https://github.com/lodash/lodash/blob/b2ea6b1cd251796dcb5f9700c4911a7b6223920b/shuffle.js), but as a pure function.
```js
const shuffle = ([...arr]) => {
let m = arr.length;
while (m) {
const i = Math.floor(Math.random() * m--);
[arr[m], arr[i]] = [arr[i], arr[m]];
}
return arr;
};
```
Examples
```js
const foo = [1, 2, 3];
shuffle(foo); // [2,3,1]
console.log(foo); // [1,2,3]
```

const similarity = (arr, values) => arr.filter(v => values.includes(v));
```
Examples
```js
similarity([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 4]); // [1,2]
```

### symmetricDifference
Returns the symmetric difference between two arrays.
Create a `Set` from each array, then use `Array.filter()` on each of them to only keep values not contained in the other.
```js
const symmetricDifference = (a, b) => {
const sA = new Set(a),
sB = new Set(b);
return [...a.filter(x => !sB.has(x)), ...b.filter(x => !sA.has(x))];
};
```

```
Examples
```js
take([1, 2, 3], 5); // [1, 2, 3]
take([1, 2, 3], 0); // []
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### takeRight

### without
Filters out the elements of an array, that have one of the specified values.
Use `Array.filter()` to create an array excluding(using `!Array.includes()`) all given values.
_(For a snippet that mutates the original array see [`pull`](#pull))_
```js
const without = (arr, ...args) => arr.filter(v => !args.includes(v));
```
Examples
```js
without([2, 1, 2, 3], 1, 2); // [3]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### zip
Creates an array of elements, grouped based on the position in the original arrays.
Use `Math.max.apply()` to get the longest array in the arguments.
Creates an array with that length as return value and use `Array.from()` with a map-function to create an array of grouped elements.
If lengths of the argument-arrays vary, `undefined` is used where no value could be found.
```js
const zip = (...arrays) => {
const maxLength = Math.max(...arrays.map(x => x.length));
return Array.from({ length: maxLength }).map((_, i) => {
return Array.from({ length: arrays.length }, (_, k) => arrays[k][i]);
});
};
```
Examples
```js
zip(['a', 'b'], [1, 2], [true, false]); // [['a', 1, true], ['b', 2, false]]
zip(['a'], [1, 2], [true, false]); // [['a', 1, true], [undefined, 2, false]]
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)
### zipObject
Given an array of valid property identifiers and an array of values, return an object associating the properties to the values.
Since an object can have undefined values but not undefined property pointers, the array of properties is used to decide the structure of the resulting object using `Array.reduce()`.
```js
const zipObject = (props, values) =>
props.reduce((obj, prop, index) => ((obj[prop] = values[index]), obj), {});
```
Examples
```js
zipObject(['a', 'b', 'c'], [1, 2]); // {a: 1, b: 2, c: undefined}
zipObject(['a', 'b'], [1, 2, 3]); // {a: 1, b: 2}
```

### elementIsVisibleInViewport
Returns `true` if the element specified is visible in the viewport, `false` otherwise.
Use `Element.getBoundingClientRect()` and the `window.inner(Width|Height)` values
to determine if a given element is visible in the viewport.
Omit the second argument to determine if the element is entirely visible, or specify `true` to determine if
it is partially visible.
```js
const elementIsVisibleInViewport = (el, partiallyVisible = false) => {
const { top, left, bottom, right } = el.getBoundingClientRect();
const { innerHeight, innerWidth } = window;
return partiallyVisible
? ((top > 0 && top < innerHeight) || (bottom > 0 && bottom < innerHeight)) &&
((left > 0 && left < innerWidth) || (right > 0 && right < innerWidth))
: top >= 0 && left >= 0 && bottom <= innerHeight && right <= innerWidth;
};
```
Examples
```js
// e.g. 100x100 viewport and a 10x10px element at position {top: -1, left: 0, bottom: 9, right: 10}
elementIsVisibleInViewport(el); // false // (not fully visible)
elementIsVisibleInViewport(el, true); // true // (partially visible)

```js
const getURLParameters = url =>
url
.match(/([^?=&]+)(=([^&]*))/g)
.reduce((a, v) => ((a[v.slice(0, v.indexOf('='))] = v.slice(v.indexOf('=') + 1)), a), {});

### httpsRedirect
Redirects the page to HTTPS if its currently in HTTP. Also, pressing the back button doesn't take it back to the HTTP page as its replaced in the history.
Use `location.protocol` to get the protocol currently being used. If it's not HTTPS, use `location.replace()` to replace the existing page with the HTTPS version of the page. Use `location.href` to get the full address, split it with `String.split()` and remove the protocol part of the URL.
Examples
```js
const httpsRedirect = () => {
if (location.protocol !== 'https:') location.replace('https://' + location.href.split('//')[1]);
};
```
[⬆ Back to top](#table-of-contents)

### curry
Curries a function.
Use recursion.
If the number of provided arguments (`args`) is sufficient, call the passed function `fn`.
Otherwise, return a curried function `fn` that expects the rest of the arguments.
If you want to curry a function that accepts a variable number of arguments (a variadic function, e.g. `Math.min()`), you can optionally pass the number of arguments to the second parameter `arity`.

### hexToRGB
Converts a color code to a `rgb()` or `rgba()` string if alpha value is provided.
Use bitwise right-shift operator and mask bits with `&` (and) operator to convert a hexadecimal color code (with or without prefixed with `#`) to a string with the RGB values. If it's 3-digit color code, first convert to 6-digit version. If an alpha value is provided alongside 6-digit hex, give `rgba()` string in return.
```js
const hexToRGB = hex => {
let alpha = false,
h = hex.slice(hex.startsWith('#') ? 1 : 0);
if (h.length === 3) h = [...h].map(x => x + x).join('');
else if (h.length === 8) alpha = true;
h = parseInt(h, 16);
return (
'rgb' +
(alpha ? 'a' : '') +
'(' +
(h >>> (alpha ? 24 : 16)) +
', ' +
((h & (alpha ? 0x00ff0000 : 0x00ff00)) >>> (alpha ? 16 : 8)) +
', ' +
((h & (alpha ? 0x0000ff00 : 0x0000ff)) >>> (alpha ? 8 : 0)) +
(alpha ? `, ${h & 0x000000ff}` : '') +
')'
);
};
```
Examples
```js
hexToRGB('#27ae60ff'); // 'rgba(39, 174, 96, 255)'
hexToRGB('27ae60'); // 'rgb(39, 174, 96)'
hexToRGB('#fff'); // 'rgb(255, 255, 255)'

### randomHexColorCode
Generates a random hexadecimal color code.
Use `Math.random` to generate a random 24-bit(6x4bits) hexadecimal number. Use bit shifting and then convert it to an hexadecimal String using `toString(16)`.
```js
const randomHexColorCode = () => {
let n = ((Math.random() * 0xfffff) | 0).toString(16);
return '#' + (n.length !== 6 ? ((Math.random() * 0xf) | 0).toString(16) + n : n);
};
```
Examples
```js
randomHexColorCode(); // "#e34155"
randomHexColorCode(); // "#fd73a6"
randomHexColorCode(); // "#4144c6"
```

### RGBToHex
Converts the values of RGB components to a color code.
Convert given RGB parameters to hexadecimal string using bitwise left-shift operator (`<<`) and `toString(16)`, then `padStart(6,'0')` to get a 6-digit hexadecimal value.
```js
const RGBToHex = (r, g, b) => ((r << 16) + (g << 8) + b).toString(16).padStart(6, '0');
```
Examples
```js
RGBToHex(255, 165, 1); // 'ffa501'
```

### sbdm
This algorithm is a simple hash-algorithm that hashes it input string `s` into a whole number.
Use `split('')` and `Array.reduce()` to create a hash of the input string, utilizing bit shifting.
```js
const sdbm = str => {
let arr = str.split('');
return arr.reduce(
(hashCode, currentVal) =>
(hashCode = currentVal.charCodeAt(0) + (hashCode << 6) + (hashCode << 16) - hashCode),
0
);
};
```
Examples
```js
console.log(sdbm('name')); // -3521204949
console.log(sdbm('age')); // 808122783
```

### timeTaken
Measures the time taken by a function to execute.
Use `console.time()` and `console.timeEnd()` to measure the difference between the start and end times to determine how long the callback took to execute.
```js
const timeTaken = callback => {
console.time('timeTaken');
const r = callback();
console.timeEnd('timeTaken');
return r;
};
```
Examples
```js
timeTaken(() => Math.pow(2, 10)); // 1024
// (logged): timeTaken: 0.02099609375ms
