The enumerate function in Javascript

In Python, the enumerate function is an iterator that returns/yield each time a tuple that contains an index (starting from 0 and incrementing) and the element in the list.

In Javascript, we can implement the enumerate function using the iterator and the yield keyword (the asteroid star immediate after function keyword indicates that the function should return an iterator via the yield keyword).

function *enumerate(array) {
   for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i += 1) {
      yield [i, array[i]];
   }
}
function *enumerate(array) {
   for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i += 1) {
      yield [i, array[i]];
   }
}

Since Javascript does not have a Tuple-type, but we can use array anyway. We can use the defined enumerate function like below:

1

const list = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
for (let x of enumerate(list)) {
   console.log(x);
}
const list = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
for (let x of enumerate(list)) {
   console.log(x);
}

That should output the following:

1
2
3
[0, 'a']
[1, 'b']
[2, 'c']
[0, 'a']
[1, 'b']
[2, 'c']

As you can see, the incrementing index is coupled with the element in the original list/array.

Also, we can use the iterator.next() function until iterator.done is true.

let it = enumerate(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])
let result = it.next();
while (!result.done) {
    console.log(result.value)
    result = it.next();
}
let it = enumerate(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])
let result = it.next();
while (!result.done) {
    console.log(result.value)
    result = it.next();
}

This should print the following:

1
2
3
4
[ 0, 'a' ]
[ 1, 'b' ]
[ 2, 'c' ]
[ 3, 'd' ]
[ 0, 'a' ]
[ 1, 'b' ]
[ 2, 'c' ]
[ 3, 'd' ]
