Question

How would one take a javascript array of objects such as:

my objArr = [

{key:Mon Sep 24 2013 00:00:00 GMT-04         


        

Answer 1

Try this, it should help

var arr1 = [
    { name: 'besart', value: 12 },
    { name: 'astrit', value: 10 },
    { name: 'astrit', value: 10 },
    { name: 'besar', value: 18 },
    { name: 'besar', value: 3 },
    { name: 'astrit', value: 3 },
    { name: 'besart', value: 3 },
    { name: 'besart', value: 10 },
    { name: 'besar', value: 0 },
];

var arr2 = [];
var emri = "";
var value = 0;
for(var i = 0;i

Below is another solution that uses only one loop (while loop):

 var arr2 = [];
    var emri = "";
    var value = 0;
    var i=1;
    var j=0;

while(arr1.length != 0){
        emri = arr1[0].name;
        if(emri == arr1[i].name){
            value+=arr1[i].value;
            arr1.splice(i,1);
            i--;
        }
        i++;
        if(i==arr1.length){
            value+=arr1[0].value;
            i=1;
            arr2[j]={name:emri,value:value};
            j++;
            value=0;
            arr1.splice(0,1);
        }
    }
