My current challenge lies in finding the correct JavaScript method to achieve a specific task. I need to go through each character of a string (all lowercase) while eliminating only the ith character.
For example, if I have the string abc, the desired output after iteration would be:
'bc' //0th element removed
'ac' //1st element removed
'ab' //2nd element removed
I initially attempted using the replace method but faced issues with strings containing duplicate characters.
An attempt looked like this:
str = 'batman';
for(var i = 0; i < str.length; i++){
var minusOneStr = str.replace(str[i], '');
console.log(minusOneStr);
}
"atman"
"btman"
"baman"
"batan"
"btman" //needed result is batmn
"batma"
I discovered that the replace method couldn't handle multiple instances of a character within the same string - it would only replace the first occurrence. I also explored methods such as substring, splice, and slice, but none seemed suitable for my requirements.
How can I approach this problem more effectively?
