Suppose I have this data
Name | Mark |
---|---|
John | 76 |
Jack | 55 |
Dani | 90 |
and for the grade
Marks | Grade |
---|---|
100-80 | A |
79 – 60 | B |
59 – 40 | C |
suppose i declare the script as
let data = [ [John, 76], [Jack, 55], [Dani, 90] ];
The program should assign the grade with the corresponding mark, how do I sort the grade since we know we cant change the index for mark as usual because each mark assign to different student? The output should display all data in descending order as
Name | Mark | Grade |
---|---|---|
Dani | 90 | A |
John | 76 | B |
Jack | 55 | C |

Answer
I would break it up into different functions so that you can handle each task separately. Then you can combine them to produce your desired result, like this:
const grades = [ ['A', 80], ['B', 60], ['C', 40], ]; function getGrade (mark) { for (const [grade, minMark] of grades) { if (mark < minMark) continue; return grade; } return 'F'; // use minimum grade as default if mark is too low } function mapToObject ([name, mark]) { return {grade: getGrade(mark), name, mark}; } function sortByHighestMark (a, b) { return b.mark - a.mark; } const data = [ ['John', 76], ['Jack', 55], ['Dani', 90] ]; const result = data.map(mapToObject).sort(sortByHighestMark); console.log(result); // and data is unmodified: console.log(data);
