How to filter an array in javascript?

Question

This is an array,

total = [\"10%\", 1000, \"5%\", 2000] . how can i filter these into two array like, percentage = [\"10%\",\"5%\"] and absolute = [100

Answer 1

You can use regular expressions since you have only strings in your array.

For % :

total.filter(function(element){
    return /^[0-9]+\%$/gi.test(element);
});

For absolute :

total.filter(function(element){
    return /^[0-9]+$/gi.test(element);
});
