My question involves a complex laTeX string:
let result = "\\frac{x}{2}+\\frac{3}{x}";
The task at hand is to locate the instances of "frac" in the string, store their positions in an array, find the first '}' character after each occurrence of "frac", replace it with "}/", and finally eliminate "frac" from the original string.
I attempted to solve this issue using a code block, but encountered limitations when there were multiple occurrences of "frac".
let result = "\\frac{x}{2}+\\frac{3}{x}";
if (result.indexOf("frac") != -1) {
for (let i = 0; i < result.split("frac").length; i++) {
let j = result.indexOf("frac");
let permission = true;
while (permission) {
if (result[j] == "}") {
result = result.replace(result[j], "}/")
permission = false;
}
j++;
}
result = result.replace('frac', '');
}
}
console.log(result)
UPDATED OUTPUT: \\{x}//{2}+\\{3}{x}
If you have any suggestions on how I can enhance my code, I would greatly appreciate your input!
