Remove from String

  1. x='hello'
  2. x.replace(/h/g,'') // 17 bytes
  3. x.split`h`.join`` // 16 bytes
  4. x.replaceAll('h','') // 19 bytes

Another fun one from the great javascript golfing tips stackexchange thread.

This one comes from user emanresu-a and this answer.

Array Range from 1

  1. Object.assign(Number.prototype, {
  2.   *[Symbol.iterator]() {
  3.     for (let i = this; i--;) 
  4.       yield this - i;
  5.   }
  6. });
  7.  
  8. console.log([...3]);

I saw this on twitter a little while back. Tweet was from James Padolsey. A fun trick, the thread is pretty entertaining.

This is a bit of a longer snippet that uses the Bresenham circle drawing algorithm to draw some circles with text. I recommend looking at it with the fullscreen button.

I like to do this:

  1. hLine
  2.   (p0, yp + yoff, w0, sym)
  3.   (p0, yp - yoff, w0, sym)
  4.   (p6, yp + xoff, w1, sym)
  5.   (p6, yp - xoff, w1, sym);

Make a function return itself, so that if you need to call it many times without having to repeat the function name. Because this isn’t a common style it is generally frowned upon, I’m always tempted to use it at work for some reason… maybe next April fools.
