Checks if a numeric array is sorted.
|
|
|
|
- Calculate the ordering `direction` for the first pair of adjacent array elements.
|
|
- Return `0` if the given array is empty, only has one element or the `direction` changes for any pair of adjacent array elements.
|
|
- Use `Math.sign()` to covert the final value of `direction` to `-1` (descending order) or `1` (ascending order).
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const isSorted = arr => {
|
|
if (arr.length <= 1) return 0;
|
|
const direction = arr[1] - arr[0];
|
|
for (let i = 2; i < arr.length; i++) {
|
|
if ((arr[i] - arr[i - 1]) * direction < 0) return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
return Math.sign(direction);
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
isSorted([0, 1, 2, 2]); // 1
|
|
isSorted([4, 3, 2]); // -1
|
|
isSorted([4, 3, 5]); // 0
|
|
isSorted([4]); // 0
|
|
```
