const array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
function checkOdd(value) {
return value % 2;
}
for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
if (checkOdd(array[i])) {
array.splice(i, 1);
i--;
}
}
The provided code snippet examines an array of unknown length and evaluates each value. If a value meets a specific condition (in this context, oddness), it is eliminated from the array.
During this process, the method Array.prototype.splice()
is employed to delete the value from the array. Consequently, i
is decremented to ensure that the loop correctly accounts for the remaining values in the array.
However, a concern arises when the for
loop continues until i
reaches the length of the array, which is shrinking due to value removal.
Does the value of array.length
adjust dynamically as the loop progresses, or does it remain static from the loop outset? If the latter scenario is true, what steps can be taken to rectify this issue?
Thank you for any assistance!
