So use of this function with "associative arrays" // note 1: (objects) may lead to unexpected behavior in an IE environment if // note 1: you add back properties with the same keys that you removed // example 1: array_pop([0,1,2]) // returns 1: 2 // example 2: var $data = {firstName: 'Kevin', surName: 'van Zonneveld'} // example 2: var $lastElem = array_pop($data) // example 2: var $result = $data // returns 2: {firstName: 'Kevin'} let key = '' let lastKey = '' if (inputArr.hasOwnProperty('length')) { // Indexed if (!inputArr.length) { // Done popping, are we? return null } return inputArr.pop() } else { // Associative for (key in inputArr) { if (inputArr.hasOwnProperty(key)) { lastKey = key } } if (lastKey) { const tmp = inputArr[lastKey] delete inputArr[lastKey] return tmp } else { return null } } }
