Lengthy provides a similar mechanism to Ruby's times, but without extending
the prototype of number.
Although you can create arrays at a certain length using
Array(5)
you can't iterate over these. This is kinda annoying because you can't do stuff like this:
Array(5).map(() => Math.random() * 5)
Which is pretty useful.
Lengthy saves the day with simple syntax:
Lengthy(5)
So you can create all kinds of fun one liners.
const randData = Lengthy(1000).map((val, i) => Math.PI * i)
Lengthy sets the value of the array to the same as the key, this means that you can rewrite the above a little simpler:
const randData = Lengthy(1000).map(i => Math.PI * i)
Good times 🙂️
