Question: Four Number Sum | Find all quadruples of given sum in an array
Difficulty: Hard

Time and space complexity:

Average: O(n^2) time | O(n^2) space 
Worst: O(n^3) time | O(n^2) space - where n is the length of the input array

Write a function that takes in a non-empty array of distinct integers and an integer representing a target sum. The function should find all quadruplets in the array 
that sum up to the target sum and return a two-dimensional array of all these quadruplets in no particular order.

If no four numbers sum up to the target sum, the function should return an empty array.

Sample Input:

array = [7, 6, 4, -1, 1, 2]
targetSum = 16

Sample Output:

[[7, 6, 4, -1], [7, 6, 1, 2]] // the quadruplets could be ordered differently

*/

/*
Hint 1:
Using four for loops to calculate the sums of all possible quadruplets in the array would generate an algorithm that runs in O(n^4) time, where n is the length of the 
input array. Can you come up with something faster using fewer for loops?
*/

/*
Hint 2:
You can calculate the sums of every pair of numbers in the array in O(n^2) time using just two for loops. Then, assuming that you've stored all of these sums in 
a hash table, you can fairly easily find which two sums can be paired to add up to the target sum: the numbers summing up to these two sums constitute candidates for 
valid quadruplets; you just have to make sure that no number was used to generate both of the two sums.
*/

/*
Hint 3:

You can do everything described in Hint #2 with just two sibling for loops nested inside a third for loop. Your goal is to create a hash table mapping the sums of 
every pair of numbers in the array to an array of arrays, with each subarray representing the indices of each pair summing up to that number. Loop through 
the input array with a simple for loop. Inside this loop, loop through the input array again, starting at the index of the first loop. At each iteration, 
calculate the difference between the target sum and the sum of the two numbers represented by the indices of the for loops. If that difference is in the hash 
table that you're building, then valid quadruplets can be formed by combining the current pair of numbers with each pair stored in the hash table at the difference 
just calculated. Following this nested for loop, loop through the array again, this time starting at index zero all the way to the index of the first for loop. At each
iteration, calculate the sum of the two numbers represented by the indices of the for loops and add it to the hash table if it isn't already there; then add the pair 
of indices to the array that the sum in the hash table maps to.

About Javascript

Javascript(JS) is a object-oriented programming language which adhere to ECMA Script Standards. Javascript is required to design the behaviour of the web pages.

Key Features

  • Open-source
  • Just-in-time compiled language
  • Embedded along with HTML and makes web pages alive
  • Originally named as LiveScript.
  • Executable in both browser and server which has Javascript engines like V8(chrome), SpiderMonkey(Firefox) etc.

Syntax help

STDIN Example

var readline = require('readline');
var rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout,
  terminal: false
});

rl.on('line', function(line){
    console.log("Hello, " + line);
});

variable declaration

KeywordDescriptionScope
varVar is used to declare variables(old way of declaring variables)Function or global scope
letlet is also used to declare variables(new way)Global or block Scope
constconst is used to declare const values. Once the value is assigned, it can not be modifiedGlobal or block Scope

Backtick Strings

Interpolation

let greetings = `Hello ${name}`

Multi line Strings

const msg = `
hello
world!
`

Arrays

An array is a collection of items or values.

Syntax:

let arrayName = [value1, value2,..etc];
// or
let arrayName = new Array("value1","value2",..etc);

Example:

let mobiles = ["iPhone", "Samsung", "Pixel"];

// accessing an array
console.log(mobiles[0]);

// changing an array element
mobiles[3] = "Nokia";

Arrow functions

Arrow Functions helps developers to write code in concise way, it’s introduced in ES6.
Arrow functions can be written in multiple ways. Below are couple of ways to use arrow function but it can be written in many other ways as well.

Syntax:

() => expression

Example:

const numbers = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
const squaresOfEvenNumbers = numbers.filter(ele => ele % 2 == 0)
                                    .map(ele => ele ** 2);
console.log(squaresOfEvenNumbers);

De-structuring

Arrays

let [firstName, lastName] = ['Foo', 'Bar']

Objects

let {firstName, lastName} = {
  firstName: 'Foo',
  lastName: 'Bar'
}

rest(...) operator

 const {
    title,
    firstName,
    lastName,
    ...rest
  } = record;

Spread(...) operator

//Object spread
const post = {
  ...options,
  type: "new"
}
//array spread
const users = [
  ...adminUsers,
  ...normalUsers
]

Functions

function greetings({ name = 'Foo' } = {}) { //Defaulting name to Foo
  console.log(`Hello ${name}!`);
}
 
greet() // Hello Foo
greet({ name: 'Bar' }) // Hi Bar

Loops

1. If:

IF is used to execute a block of code based on a condition.

Syntax

if(condition){
    // code
}

2. If-Else:

Else part is used to execute the block of code when the condition fails.

Syntax

if(condition){
    // code
} else {
    // code
}

3. Switch:

Switch is used to replace nested If-Else statements.

Syntax

switch(condition){
    case 'value1' :
        //code
        [break;]
    case 'value2' :
        //code
        [break;]
    .......
    default :
        //code
        [break;]
}

4. For

For loop is used to iterate a set of statements based on a condition.

for(Initialization; Condition; Increment/decrement){  
//code  
} 

5. While

While is also used to iterate a set of statements based on a condition. Usually while is preferred when number of iterations are not known in advance.

while (condition) {  
  // code 
}  

6. Do-While

Do-while is also used to iterate a set of statements based on a condition. It is mostly used when you need to execute the statements atleast once.

do {  
  // code 
} while (condition); 

Classes

ES6 introduced classes along with OOPS concepts in JS. Class is similar to a function which you can think like kind of template which will get called when ever you initialize class.

Syntax:

class className {
  constructor() { ... } //Mandatory Class method
  method1() { ... }
  method2() { ... }
  ...
}

Example:

class Mobile {
  constructor(model) {
    this.name = model;
  }
}

mbl = new Mobile("iPhone");
