I have the mapping of abbreviation and full name as follow:
object = {"TSLA":"TESLA INC.","GOOG":"GOOGLE INC.","APPL":"APPLE INC.","AMZN":"AMAZON CORPORATION", "MSFT":"MICROSOFT CORPORATION"}
as an output of function i get the following array:
array = ["AMZN","APPL"]
I want to display the values of the associated keys as follows:
output_array = ["AMAZON CORPORATION", "APPLE INC."]
Note that, the actual object has more key: value pairs
Using IndexOf() I can replace one value. However, I believe there must be a way of mapping the array elements to replace the values at once.
Since I am new to JS, I would appreciate any suggestion.
array.map(abbr => object[abbr]) does the job; it iterates over the array rather than the object, which is more efficient as the object already is a lookup table with the right keys - you are right, there is no need to use indexOf which uses a linear search.
