The _.explode() method is used to explode a string into an array of characters.
Syntax:
_.explode( String );
Parameters:
- String: This method takes a String to explode.
Return Value: This method returns the generated character array.
Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the underscore.js contrib library to be installed. Underscore.js contrib library can be installed using npm install underscore-contrib –save.
Example 1:
Javascript
// Defining underscore contrib variable var _ = require( 'underscore-contrib' ); var a = _.explode( "neveropen" ); console.log( "The generated array is : " , a); |
Output:
The generated array is : [ 'G', 'e', 'e', 'k', 's', 'f', 'o', 'r', 'G', 'e', 'e', 'k', 's' ]
Example 2:
Javascript
// Defining underscore contrib variable var _ = require( 'underscore-contrib' ); var a = _.explode( "Computer Science Portal" ); console.log( "The generated array is : " , a); |
Output:
The generated array is : [ 'C', 'o', 'm', 'p', 'u', 't', 'e', 'r', ' ', 'S', 'c', 'i', 'e', 'n', 'c', 'e', ' ', 'P', 'o', 'r', 't', 'a', 'l' ]
