Partial Overlay is what you generally find in a home with builder-grade kitchen cabinets. To order a cabinet door for a 1/2" overlay, you would add 1" to both the width and height of the door.

The most common overlays are 1/2" for partial overlay cabinet doors and 1 1/4" for full overlay cabinet doors.
It is rather complicated for a simple algorithm, although definitely more appealing. The second approach is to lock the array similar to concurrent computing until the loop is over. I don't like this way because it's awkward and over-complicated. This first one is to modify the loop method so it checks if the array length has changed and then move the pointer accordingly. I would consider a few options to deal with such cases. Note that I usually explicitly convert anything to boolean to make it easier to understand. log ( arr ) > Īs the filter method decides whether to keep or delete each item based on the callback return value, we simply return false for "falsy" array items. filter ( item => Boolean ( item )) console.

And the code above should be rewritten as follows.Ĭonst arr = arr = arr. There is the filter method to help you cleaning the array before iterating over it. The correct and, I claim, the only fix that is worth knowing of is to avoid array modifications from within declarative loops when you don't directly control the pointer. Warning! All the stuff described above and below may very well originate only from the misunderstanding of forEach. The mutating version of act method called on the array will only log 1 and 4 because it internally moves the pointer one step forward every time you delete another item, and hence changes the array length, which leads to omitting an item per deletion. But an element will be skipped for each "falsy" one in an array! Until we have an array of "truthy" values nothing can happen with the callback. The forEach method internally moves the iterator over array elements, counting from the first to the last one. My guess is you've already understood what happens in that case. Internally and intuitively, at least to me, moving through array just one item after another seems the like the safest way of doing things.īut wait! What if an array can be changed during the manipulation?
Even if you stare at this code for a minute you maybe won't exhibit its deceptive nature. The splice method is a good choice to do such manipulation. The new version of act outputs an element if it exists but also takes care of absent or empty elements by removing them from the array.
