Chunks an array into `n` smaller arrays.
|
|
|
|
- Use `Math.ceil()` and `Array.prototype.length` to get the size of each chunk.
|
|
- Use `Array.from()` to create a new array of size `n`.
|
|
- Use `Array.prototype.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 chunkIntoN = (arr, n) => {
|
|
const size = Math.ceil(arr.length / n);
|
|
return Array.from({ length: n }, (v, i) =>
|
|
arr.slice(i * size, i * size + size)
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
chunkIntoN([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], 4); // [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6], [7]]
|
|
```
