JavaScript: Check whether 1 appears in first or last position of a given array of integers

JavaScript Basic: Exercise-71 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to check whether 1 appears in the first or last position of a given array of integers. The array length must be larger than or equal to 1.

The program verifies if the number 1 is present at either the first or last position of an array of integers, ensuring the array's length is at least 1. If the condition is met, it returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

Visual Presentation:

JavaScript: Check whether 1 appears in first or last position of a given array of integers.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

// Define a function named first_last_1 with a parameter nums
function first_last_1(nums)
{
  // Calculate the index of the last element in the array
  var end_pos = nums.length - 1;
  // Check if the first or last element in the array is equal to 1, and return the result
  return nums[0] == 1 || nums[end_pos] == 1;
}

// Call the function with sample arguments and log the results to the console
console.log(first_last_1([1, 3, 5]));
console.log(first_last_1([1, 3, 5, 1]));
console.log(first_last_1([2, 4, 6]));

Output:

true
true
false

ES6 Version:

// Define a function named first_last_1 with a parameter nums using arrow function syntax
const first_last_1 = nums => {
    // Use the logical OR operator to check if the first or last element of the array is equal to 1
    return nums[0] === 1 || nums[nums.length - 1] === 1;
};

// Call the function with sample arguments and log the results to the console
console.log(first_last_1([1, 3, 5]));
console.log(first_last_1([1, 3, 5, 1]));
console.log(first_last_1([2, 4, 6]));
