  console.log('Hello');
};
Alternative implementation:
[...Array(10)].forEach(() => console.log('Hello'))
Alternative implementation:
console.log( 'Hello\n'.repeat(10) )
3
Like a function which doesn't return any value, thus has only side effects (e.g. Print to standard output)
var bli = function() { 
	console.log('Hello World!!!');
}
Alternative implementation:
function bli() { 
	console.log('Hello World!!!');
}

Alternative implementation:

const x = new Map();
x.set("one", 1);
x.set("two", 2);
Alternative implementation:
const x = new Map([["one",1],["two",2]]);
9
The structure must be recursive because left child and right child are binary trees too. A node has access to children nodes, but not to its parent.
class Node {
  constructor (data) {
    this.data = data
    this.left = null
    this.right = null
  }
}

    console.log('key:', key, 'value:', mymap[key]);
}
14

}
17
The structure must be recursive. A node may have zero or more children. A node has access to its children nodes, but not to its parent.

  constructor (value, children = []) {
    this.value = value
    this.children = children
  }
}
18
Call a function f on every node of a tree, in depth-first prefix order

	f(root)
	if (root.children) {
		root.children.forEach(child => DFS(f, child))
	}
}
19
Reverse the order of the elements of the list x.
This may reverse "in-place" and destroy the original ordering.
x = x.reverse();
20
Implement a function search which looks for item x in a 2D matrix m.
Return indices i, j of the matching cell.
Think of the most idiomatic way in the language to return the two values at the same time.
function search(m, x) {
    for (var i = 0; i < m.length; i++) {
        for (var j = 0; j < m[i].length; j++) {
            if (m[i][j] == x) {
                return [i, j];
            }
        }
    }
    return false;
}
21

  // in file worker.js
  onmessage = ({data}) => {
    console.log (`Hello, ${data}`)
  }
}
{
  // in file main.js
  const worker = new Worker ('worker.js')
  worker.postMessage ('Alan')
}
Alternative implementation:
if (isMainThread) {
  const worker = new Worker(new URL(import.meta.url));
  worker.postMessage('Alan');
} else {
  parentPort.once('message', (message) => {
    console.log(`Hello, ${message}`);
  });
}
26
Declare and initialize a matrix x having m rows and n columns, containing real numbers.
var x = [];

  )
)
28
Sort the elements of the list (or array-like collection) items in ascending order of x.p, where p is a field of the type Item of the objects in items.
items.sort(function(a,b) {
  return compareFieldP(a.p, b.p);
});
29
Remove i-th item from list items.
This will alter the original list or return a new list, depending on which is more idiomatic.
Note that in most languages, the smallest valid value for i is 0.
let new_list = items.filter(function(val,idx,ary) { return idx != i });
Alternative implementation:
items.splice(i,1);
30
Launch the concurrent execution of procedure f with parameter i from 1 to 1000.
Tasks are independent and f(i) doesn't return any value.
Tasks need not run all at the same time, so you may use a pool.
for (let i = 1; i <= 1000; i++) setTimeout(() => f(i), 0);
31
Create the recursive function f which returns the factorial of the non-negative integer i, calculated from f(i-1)

32
Create function exp which calculates (fast) the value x power n.
x and n are non-negative integers.
function exp(x, n) {
   if (n===0) return 1;
   if (n===1) return x;
   return n%2 ? x * exp(x*x, (n-1)/2)
              : exp(x*x, n/2);
}

37
Transform a function that takes multiple arguments into a function for which some of the arguments are preset.

    var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 2);
    
    return function() {
	var trueArgs = args.concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0));
        fn.apply(scope, trueArgs);
    };
}
Alternative implementation:
const curry = (fn, ...initialArgs) => (...args) => fn(...initialArgs, ...args);

const add = (a, b) => a + b;

const add5 = curry(add, 5);

const result = add5(1) // 6
38
Find substring t consisting in characters i (included) to j (excluded) of string s.
Character indices start at 0 unless specified otherwise.
Make sure that multibyte characters are properly handled.
let t = s.substring(i, j);
Alternative implementation:
let t = s.slice(i, j);
39

var ok = s.indexOf(word) !== -1;
Alternative implementation:
var ok = s.includes(word);
41

For this, write an outer loop to iterate on a and an inner loop to iterate on b.

      if (a[i] === b[j]) {
         continue OUTER;
      }
   }
   console.log(a[i] + " not in the list");
}
43
Look for a negative value v in 2D integer matrix m. Print it and stop searching.
OUTER:
for (var i in m) {
   for (var j in m[i]) {
      if (m[i][j] < 0) {
         console.log("Negative value found: "+m[i][j]);
         break OUTER;

var s = i.toString();
Alternative implementation:
var s = i + "";
56
Fork-join : launch the concurrent execution of procedure f with parameter i from 1 to 1000.
Tasks are independent and f(i) doesn't return any value.
Tasks need not run all at the same time, so you may use a pool.
Wait for the completion of the 1000 tasks and then print "Finished".
{
  // in file worker.js
  onmessage = f
}
{
  // in file main.js

For languages that don't have mutable lists, refer to idiom #57 instead.

	if (!p(value)) x.splice(key, 1);
}
Alternative implementation:
x = x.filter((e) => p(e));

i.toString(2)
  .split('')
  .reduce((parity, bit) => parity ^ bit, 0)
266
Assign to the string s the value of the string v repeated n times, and write it out.

E.g. v="abc", n=5 ⇒ s="abcabcabcabcabc"
const s = v.repeat(n)
267
Declare an argument x to a procedure foo that can be of any type. If the type of the argument is a string, print it, otherwise print "Nothing."

Test by passing "Hello, world!" and 42 to the procedure.
function foo(x) {
  console.log(typeof x == 'string' ? x : 'Nothing.')
}

foo('Hello, world!')
foo(42)
272
Fizz buzz is a children's counting game, and a trivial programming task used to affirm that a programmer knows the basics of a language: loops, conditions and I/O.

The typical fizz buzz game is to count from 1 to 100, saying each number in turn. When the number is divisible by 3, instead say "Fizz". When the number is divisible by 5, instead say "Buzz". When the number is divisible by both 3 and 5, say "FizzBuzz"
for (let i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
    let out = "";
    if (!(i % 3)) out += "Fizz";
    if (!(i % 5)) out += "Buzz";
    if (!out) out = i;
    console.log(out);
}

const a = new Array(n).fill(0);
286
Print a line "Char i is c" for each character c of the string s, where i is the character index of c in s (not the byte index).
