Question

I have an array that contains three different strings for example:

[ 'obtain wealth1', 'obtain dreams3', 'obtain discretion3' ]

The array is created from a function I’ve written.

What I want to do next is compare the last characters of the strings to one another (the numbers) to see if I produce a match.

How would I go about doing this?

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

First loop through the array and determine (with an if statement) if the elements held at the positions in the array have, as its last character, a value equal to the number you wish. You can add else if statements to check for
multiple conditions. We use the slice method with an argument of -1 to check for the rightmost character in the string.

for (var i = list.length; i--;) {
    if (list[i].slice(-1) == the_number) {

    } else {}
}
