Finding word starting with specific letter in JavaScript
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of string literals as the first argument and a single string character as the second argument.
Then our function should find and return the first array entry that starts with the character specified by the second argument.
Example
The code for this will be −
const names = ['Naman', 'Kartik', 'Anmol', 'Rajat', 'Keshav', 'Harsh', 'Suresh', 'Rahul'];
const firstIndexOf = (arr = [], char = '') => {
for(let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
const el = arr[i];
if(el.substring(0, 1) === char){
return i;
};
};
return -1;
};
console.log(firstIndexOf(names, 'K'));
console.log(firstIndexOf(names, 'R'));
console.log(firstIndexOf(names, 'J'));Output
And the output in the console will be −
1 3 -1
