Q. Sum all the numbers of a given array ( cq. list ), except the highest and the lowest element ( by value, not by index! ).
The highest or lowest element respectively is a single element at each edge, even if there are more than one with the same value.
Mind the input validation.
Example
{ 6, 2, 1, 8, 10 } => 16
{ 1, 1, 11, 2, 3 } => 6
Input validation
If an empty value ( null, None, Nothing etc. ) is given instead of an array, or the given array is an empty list or a list with only 1 element, return 0.
//#my solution
function sumArray(array) {
if(array && array.length > 1) {
const sortedArray = array.sort((a,b) => a - b).slice(1, -1)
return sortedArray.reduce((acc, cur) => acc + cur, 0)
}
return 0
}
//#other solution
function sumArray(array) {
return Array.isArray(array) && array.length > 1
? array.reduce((s, n) => s + n, 0) - Math.min(...array) - Math.max(...array)
: 0
}
