0 1 1 minute read

With the help of _.iterators.unfoldWithReturn() method, we can get two values from iteration function where unary function is expected to return two values whenever function is invoked by using this method.

Syntax:

_.iterators.unfoldWithReturn(seed, unaryFn)

Return Value: It returns the two values from iteration function.

Note: To execute the below examples, you have to install the underscore-contrib library by using this command prompt and execute the following command.

npm install underscore-contrib

Example 1: In this example, we can see that by using _.iterators.unfoldWithReturn() method, we are able to get the values from iteration function where unary function returns two values whenever iteration function is invoked.

// Defining underscore contrib variable  
var _ = require('underscore-contrib'); 
  
function isGFG (val) { 
    return [val, String(val.length)]; 
} 
  
var geek = _.iterators.unfoldWithReturn("Geeks", isGFG); 
  
for(var i = 0; i < 3; i++) { 
    console.log(geek()); 
}

Output:

Geeks
[ 'Geeks', '5' ]
[ [ 'Geeks', '5' ], '2' ]

Example 2:

// Defining underscore contrib variable  
var _ = require('underscore-contrib'); 
  
function isGFG (val) { 
    return [val + 1, val * 5]; 
} 
  
var geek = _.iterators.unfoldWithReturn(1, isGFG); 
  
for(var i = 0; i < 2; i++) { 
    console.log(geek()); 
}

Output:

1
[ 2, 5 ]
