Elyses Transformative Enchantments
10 Points
array-transformations
Instructions
Elyse, magician-to-be, continues her training. She will be given a deck of cards and attempt to transform that deck. She will make certain cards appear, disappear, change their values, or completely rearrange themselves. To make things easier, she usually only starts with cards numbered 1 to 10, although some of the tricks may result in larger cards being created.
1. Double every single card
Elyse wants to double the number of every card in the deck. This may result in higher cards than 1-10.
const deck = [1, 2, 3, 4, 10];
seeingDouble(deck);
// => [2, 4, 6, 8, 20]2. Create multiple copies of every 3 found in the deck
Elyse wants to triplicate every 3 found in the deck. If a deck started with a single 3, after the trick the deck would have three 3's in place of the original.
const deck = [1, 3, 9, 3, 7];
threeOfEachThree(deck);
// => [1, 3, 3, 3, 9, 3, 3, 3, 7]3. Find two cards from the exact middle of the deck
Elyse will take a deck of ten cards, and make every card disappear except the middle two cards.
const deck = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
middleTwo(deck);
// => [5, 6]4. The outside two cards will reappear in the middle of the deck
Elyse wants to move the top and bottom cards of the deck into the middle, in reverse order.
You can assume that the deck has an even number of cards.
const deck = [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10];
sandwichTrick(deck);
// => [2, 3, 10, 1, 5, 6]5. Every card that isn't 2 disappears
Elyse's favorite number today is 2. In this trick, every card that isn't a 2 will disappear from the deck.
const deck = [1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 2];
twoIsSpecial(deck);
// => [2, 2]6. Convert a shuffled deck into a perfectly ordered deck
Elyse wishes to demonstrate her mastery of reordering the cards perfectly - no matter how well shuffled.
const deck = [10, 1, 5, 3, 2, 8, 7];
perfectlyOrdered(deck);
// => [1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10]7. Reorder the deck
Elyse wants to change the order of the cards in the deck. After the trick, the card that is currently at the top should end up at the bottom of the deck. The second card should end up second last etc.
const deck = [10, 1, 5, 3, 2];
reorder(deck);
// => [2, 3, 5, 1, 10]Elyses Transformative Enchantments
