Discussion on: Daily Challenge #9 - What's Your Number?

JavaScript

I assumed the US phone number format that is (XXX) XXX-XXXX

const formatNumber = numbers => {

  let phoneNumber = "";

  // prerequisites:
  //   - input must be an array
  //   - with 10 elements
  //   - each element will be a single digit number
  if (
    Array.isArray(numbers) &&
    numbers.length === 10 &&
    numbers.every(n => n > -1 && n < 10)
  ) {
    // break the phone number into parts and generate the formmated string
    const areaCode = numbers.slice(0,3).join('');
    const firstPart = numbers.slice(3,6).join('');
    const secondPart = numbers.slice(6).join('');
    phoneNumber = `(${areaCode}) ${firstPart}-${secondPart}`;
  }

  return phoneNumber;
}

Why the one line solution?

No real reason. Both do the same, the first one is more verbose and easier to understand. I deleted the one-line one to avoid any confusion.
