For this game of BINGO, you will receive a single array of 10 numbers from 1 to 26 as an input. Duplicate numbers within the array are possible.
Each number corresponds to their alphabetical order letter (e.g. 1 = A. 2 = B, etc). Write a function where you will win the game if your numbers can spell "BINGO". They do not need to be in the right order in the input array). Otherwise you will lose. Your outputs should be "WIN" or "LOSE" respectively.
Test Arrays:
bingo([21,13,2,7,5,14,7,15,9,10])
bingo([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
Good luck!

Why adding
publicbefore thefunctionkeyword?Force of habit.
I never code in a procedural way, I always have a class, so I declare method visibility ...
It's for sure a Fatal Error in a procedural code.
I'll edit my snippet in consequence
Okay I though it was a new language feature haha.
I didn't found any use case of this function in PHP before but now I do thanks to your take at the challenge. Well done btw!
Python with typing indicators
JavaScript version:
Explanation:
The
Setobject lets you storeuniquevalues of any type.That is why new
Set([1,2,1,3,3,4])will give a set of1,2,3,4. Since a set is iterable whe can spread it into an new array, thus creating a new array containing only the unique values of the input array.const uniqueValues = [...new Set(input)]can be written as follows:The unique input values are then filtered with
.filter()checking if each and every value is in the winning sequence usingwinSequence.includes(value).This will result in an intersection between the unique values in the input array and the winning sequence. Then if the length of that intersection is the same as the length of the winning sequence, that means a "WIN".
good ol' Clojure 😏

Here we say that we only want the function
bingoto be exposed to the outside world.We then define a helper function
belongsTowhich will not be exposed to the outside world.It takes two parameters: the first being a list (array) of integers, and the second is an integer. The function will then return a boolean indicating if the
integeris indeed part of theintegerListthanks to theList.memberfunction.Finally, we define our main function
bingowhich takes a list of integers. TheList.alltakes a function applied to each one of ourBINGOlist (which is just the integer representation of that word). If there is noBINGOinteger in theintegerList, it will return false.List.allexpects all applied functions to returnTrue. If only one of them returnFalse(meaning, one of theBINGOinteger has not been found in theintegerList), it will return false.Tests
