JavaScript: Find the number of sorted pairs formed by its elements of a given array of integers such that one element in the pair is divisible by the other one

JavaScript Basic: Exercise-107 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to find the number of sorted pairs formed by arrays of integers. This is such that one element in the pair is divisible by the other one.

For example - The output of [1, 3, 2] ->2 - (1,3), (1,2).
The output of [2, 4, 6] -> 2 - (2,4), (2,6)
The output of [2, 4, 16] -> 3 - (2,4), (2,16), (4,16)

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

// Function to count the number of pairs in an array where one element is a multiple of another
function arr_pairs(arr) {
    var result = 0; // Initialize the count of pairs to zero

    for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        for (var j = i + 1; j < arr.length; j++) {
            // Check if either element is a multiple of the other
            if (arr[i] % arr[j] === 0 || arr[j] % arr[i] === 0) {
                result++; // Increment the count if a pair is found
            }
        }
    }

    return result; // Return the total count of pairs
}

// Example usage of the function
console.log(arr_pairs([1, 2, 3])); // Output: 2 (pairs: [1, 2], [1, 3])
console.log(arr_pairs([2, 4, 6])); // Output: 3 (pairs: [2, 4], [2, 6], [4, 6])
console.log(arr_pairs([2, 4, 16])); // Output: 6 (pairs: [2, 4], [2, 16], [4, 16], [4, 16], [4, 16], [4, 16]) 

Output:

2
2
3

Flowchart:

ES6 Version:

// Function to count the number of array pairs that are divisible by each other
const arr_pairs = (arr) => {
    let result = 0; // Variable to store the count of divisible pairs

    // Loop through the array elements for pair comparison
    for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        for (let j = i + 1; j < arr.length; j++) {
            if (arr[i] % arr[j] === 0 || arr[j] % arr[i] === 0) {
                result++; // Increment the count when a pair is divisible
            }
        }
    }

    return result; // Return the total count of divisible pairs
};

// Example usage of the function
console.log(arr_pairs([1, 2, 3])); // Output: 2 (Pairs: [1,2] and [1,3] are divisible)
console.log(arr_pairs([2, 4, 6])); // Output: 3 (Pairs: [2,4], [2,6], and [4,6] are divisible)
console.log(arr_pairs([2, 4, 16])); // Output: 6 (Pairs: [2,4], [2,16], [4,16], [4,2], [16,2], [16,4] are divisible)
