Sum of array object property values in new array of objects in Javascript

Question

I have an array of objects where i need sum of object property values in new array of objects,

Input:

var inputArray = [
  { subject: \'Maths\', mark         


        

Answer 1

The solution using Array.forEach, parseInt and Object.keys functions:

var summed = {}, result;
inputArray.forEach(function (obj) {
    obj['marks'] = parseInt(obj['marks']);
    obj['noOfStudents'] = parseInt(obj['noOfStudents']);
    var subj = obj['subject'];

    if (!summed[subj]) {
        summed[subj] = obj;
    } else {
        summed[subj]['marks'] += obj['marks'];
        summed[subj]['noOfStudents'] += obj['noOfStudents'];
    }
}, summed);
result = Object.keys(summed).map((k) => summed[k]);

console.log(JSON.stringify(result, 0, 4));

The output:

[
    {
        "subject": "Maths",
        "marks": 70,
        "noOfStudents": 17
    },
    {
        "subject": "Science",
        "marks": 115,
        "noOfStudents": 18
    },
    {
        "subject": "History",
        "marks": 90,
        "noOfStudents": 43
    }
]
