Sort array by month and year












6















I need help with sorting an array by month and year to display on chart respectively.



Array1: ['Mar19','Apr18','Jun18','Jul18','May18','Jan19'....];
Desired Output : [....'Apr18','May18','Jun18','Jul18','Jan19','Mar19'];


I also have another array with values for each month according to the array above respectively



Array2: ['Mar19_value','Apr18_value','Jun18_value','Jul18_value','May18_value'
,'Jan19_value'....];

Array2: ['55','2','3','0','21','132'....]; //real values


Now when the monthyear array sorts i want the data in this array to move to a new position according to the monthyear position. like this:



Desired Array1: [....'Apr18','May18','Jun18','Jul18','Jan19','Mar19'];
Desired Array2: [....'Apr18_value','May18_value','Jun18_value','Jul18_value','Jan19_value','Mar19_value'];


So i can pick the data later like this:



var label = array[4];
var value = array2[4];


Any help will be appreciated.

You could get the date as sortable string and sort this sting.



For getting more than one array sorted by one signature array, you could take sorting with map, where you sort an array of indices, indicating the final sorting and then reassign all arrays with this sorting.



The getD function returns a formatted string by taking an index of array0 for sorting. Inside of the fuinction the string is destructed into month and year parts and replaced by its ISO 8601 representation. The callback of the replacement function takes the matched items, retuns an array with a formatted year and the month of an object with the month names and the related month numbers. Then this array is joined and returned.



The sorting takes place with a comparsion with String#localeCompare.






var array1 = ['Mar19', 'Apr18', 'Jun18', 'Jul18', 'May18', 'Jan19'],
array2 = ['Mar19_value', 'Apr18_value', 'Jun18_value', 'Jul18_value', 'May18_value', 'Jan19_value'],
array3 = ['55', '2', '3', '0', '21', '132'],
indices = Object
.keys(array1)
.sort(function (a, b) {
function getD(i) {
var months = { Jan: '01', Feb: '02', Mar: '03', Apr: '04', May: '05', Jun: '06', Jul: '07', Aug: '08', Sep: '09', Oct: '10', Nov: '11', Dec: '12' },
s = array1[i];
return s.replace(/^(...)(.+)$/, (_, m, y) => [y.padStart(4, '0'), months[m]].join('-'));
}
return getD(a).localeCompare(getD(b));
}),
result = [array1, array3].map(a => indices.map(i => a[i]));

result.forEach(a => console.log(...a));

You need change the string for to new Date(dateString) format like



new Date(Month Date Year)


Updated regex Pattern for Both Array



https://regex101.com/r/h1cm1z/2/



Updated Sort Second array based on first array sorting index






var arr1 =  ['Mar19','Apr18','Jun18','Jul18','May18','Jan19'];
var arr2 =['55','2','3','0','21','132'];

function datesort(arr){
return arr.concat().sort((a,b)=>{
a = a.replace(/(d+)(.*)/g,' 1 $1'); // Month 1 YEAR
b = b.replace(/(d+)(.*)/g,' 1 $1'); // Month 1 YEAR
return new Date(a) - new Date(b)
})
}

var after_arr1 =new datesort(arr1);
var after_arr2 = arr1.reduce(function(a,b,c){
var ind = after_arr1.indexOf(b);
a[ind] = arr2[c]
return a
},);


console.log(after_arr1.join(','));

  • Thank you , it works as required. What if i have another array with values for each month respectively according to the monthyear array. how do i sort it when the monthyear moves to a new position. do you understand what i am saying?

  • i could added the format of date .you could change your array value like this.If you have any new position .Kindly change regex pattern and reproduce the same date format.Or post your new position. i will give the matching pattern

To order properly you need to know the order of the months. This is not alphabetical so you can use an array with the order of the months then look them up.



const monthOrder = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']



Is already properly sorted and can be used in conjunction with .indexOf() to get the position of a month.






const myArr =  ['Mar19','Apr18','Jun18','Jul18','May18','Jan19'];
const myArr2 = ['Mar19_value','Apr18_value','Jun18_value','Jul18_value','May18_value'
,'Jan19_value'];

const monthOrder = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']

let sortYearMonth = (a, b) => {
let monthA = monthOrder.indexOf(a.slice(0,3))
let yearA = a.slice(3,6)
let monthB = monthOrder.indexOf(b.slice(0,3))
let yearB = b.slice(3,6)
return (`${yearA}-${monthA}` < `${yearB}-${monthB}`) ? -1 : (`${yearA}-${monthA}` > `${yearB}-${monthB}`) ? 1 : 0
}

let sortedMonths = myArr.sort(sortYearMonth)
let sortedMonths2 = myArr2.sort(sortYearMonth)

console.log(sortedMonths )
console.log(sortedMonths2 )





Update: values in same position



Updated version links the two arrays together then sorts the first while keeping the relative position to the second.



Idea: Link two arrays with a temporary Object then extract the key/value pair using Object.entries. Then sorting the array based on the first value of the pair, which is the value of array1. Then it returns the key/value pair in the right order you can extract the values into two arrays again by using .map()



I added a run with the string based example and the real values examples below




const myArr = ['Mar19', 'Apr18', 'Jun18', 'Jul18', 'May18', 'Jan19'];
const myArr2 = ['Mar19_value', 'Apr18_value', 'Jun18_value', 'Jul18_value', 'May18_value', 'Jan19_value'];

const myArr3 = ['55','2','3','0','21','132'];

const monthOrder = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']

let sortYearMonth = (a, b) => {
let monthA = monthOrder.indexOf(a.slice(0, 3))
let yearA = a.slice(3, 6)
let monthB = monthOrder.indexOf(b.slice(0, 3))
let yearB = b.slice(3, 6)
return (`${yearA}-${monthA}` < `${yearB}-${monthB}`) ? -1 : (`${yearA}-${monthA}` > `${yearB}-${monthB}`) ? 1 : 0
}

function sortByFirst(myArr, myArr2) {
let keyValue = myArr.reduce((links, item, i) => {
links[item] = myArr2[i];
return links
}, {})
let entries = Object.entries(keyValue)
return entries.sort((a, b) => sortYearMonth(a[0], b[0]))
}

let sortedEntries = sortByFirst(myArr, myArr2)
let sortedMonths = sortedEntries.map(i => i[0])
let sortedValues = sortedEntries.map(i => i[1])

let sortedEntries2 = sortByFirst(myArr, myArr3)
let sortedMonths2 = sortedEntries2.map(i => i[0])
let sortedValues2 = sortedEntries2.map(i => i[1])

console.log(sortedMonths)
console.log(sortedValues)

console.log(sortedMonths2)
console.log(sortedValues2)

  • i have done some changes in the question please can you have a look at it. sortYearMonth can not sort the values array because it does include month and year it justs integers. basically i want to get the new index of array1 items and then move array2 items to their new positions according to month names of array1

//const output : ['Apr18','May18','Jun18','Jul18','Jan19','Mar19'];
//Can be done easily by using momentjs, darte-fns, but here i will do it natively

You can try this raw snippet.






var MY = ['Mar19', 'Apr18', 'Jun18', 'Jul18', 'May18', 'Jan19'];
var s = "JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec";
// converting to raw date format
for (i in MY) {
num = MY[i].match(/d+/g);
letr = MY[i].match(/[a-zA-Z]+/g);
MY[i] = (s.indexOf(letr) / 3 + 1) + '-' + '20' + num;
}
// sorting logic
var sorted = MY.sort(function(a, b) {
a = a.split("-");
b = b.split("-")
return new Date(a[1], a[0], 1) - new Date(b[1], b[0], 1)
});
// converting back to original array after sorting
res = ;
for (i in sorted) {
var a = sorted[i].split('-');
res[i] = (s.substr((parseInt(a[0]) - 1) * 3, 3)) + '-' + a[1].substr(2, 2);
}

console.log(res);

    const monthMap = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"];

        You can try something like that :



        var Array =  ['Mar19','Apr18','Jun18','Jul18','May18','Jan19'];
        Array.sort(function(a, b) {
        a = [a.slice(0,3), ' 20', a.slice(3)].join('');
        b = [b.slice(0,3), ' 20', b.slice(3)].join('')
        return new Date() - new Date(b);

          I would suggest that your data structure is unfortunate. Working with shared indices makes it much more difficult than a data structure that combines them, such as an array of objects, [{label: 'Mar19', value: 55}, ...].



          If your data is coming from an upstream solution you cannot control, you can still manage this in your own work, converting before you use it. (And if you really have to converting back to pass to others.)



          A common name for a function combining two arrays is zip -- think of it acting like a zipper. This version uses one that takes a function to say how the paired elements should be combined. (Elsewhere such a function might be called zipWith.)



          Here sortArraysByDate calls zip passing a function that turns 'Mar19' and 55 into {label: 'Mar19, value: 55, month: 'Mar', year: 19} using dateFields to extract the month and year from that label, then sorts these using the straightforward dateSort






          const months = {Jan: 1, Feb: 2, Mar: 3, Apr: 4,  May: 5,  Jun: 6,
          Jul: 7, Aug: 8, Sep: 9, Oct: 10, Nov: 11, Dec: 12}

          const dateFields = (d) => ({
          month: d.slice(0, 3),
          year: Number(d.slice(3))
          })

          const dateSort = ({month: m1, year: y1}, {month: m2, year: y2}) =>
          (y1 - y2) || (months[m1] - months[m2])

          const zip = (fn, a1, a2) => a1.map((a, i) => fn(a, a2[i]))

          const sortArraysByDate = (a1, a2) =>
          zip((label, value) => ({label, value, ...dateFields(label)}), a1, a2)
          .sort(dateSort)
          .map(({label, value}) => ({label, value}))


          const Array1 = ['Mar19','Apr18','Jun18','Jul18','May18','Jan19'];
          const Array2 = ['55','2','3','0','21','132']; //real values

          const result = sortArraysByDate(Array1, Array2)

          console.log(result)





          The map call in sortArraysByDate is quite possibly not necessary. Without it, the resulting data includes extra year and month fields; that might not be an issue.



          If you really need those updated arrays in the original format, you can just map the result:



          const newArray1 = result.map(o => o.label)
          const newArray2 = result.map(o => o.value)


          But I would urge you not to do this unless it's absolutely necessary. This structure is really useful. The paired arrays are much less so.



          Also, if you need to combine more than two arrays, you could write a slightly more sophisticated version of zip:



          const zip = (fn, ...as) => as[0].map((_, i) => fn(...as.map(a => a[i])))


          This takes a function on n arguments, and n arrays, and yields a new array containing the result of calling that function respectively on the successive items in each of the arrays.

            You could get the date as sortable string and sort this sting.



            For getting more than one array sorted by one signature array, you could take sorting with map, where you sort an array of indices, indicating the final sorting and then reassign all arrays with this sorting.



            The getD function returns a formatted string by taking an index of array0 for sorting. Inside of the fuinction the string is destructed into month and year parts and replaced by its ISO 8601 representation. The callback of the replacement function takes the matched items, retuns an array with a formatted year and the month of an object with the month names and the related month numbers. Then this array is joined and returned.



            The sorting takes place with a comparsion with String#localeCompare.






            var array1 = ['Mar19', 'Apr18', 'Jun18', 'Jul18', 'May18', 'Jan19'],
            array2 = ['Mar19_value', 'Apr18_value', 'Jun18_value', 'Jul18_value', 'May18_value', 'Jan19_value'],
            array3 = ['55', '2', '3', '0', '21', '132'],
            indices = Object
            .keys(array1)
            .sort(function (a, b) {
            function getD(i) {
            var months = { Jan: '01', Feb: '02', Mar: '03', Apr: '04', May: '05', Jun: '06', Jul: '07', Aug: '08', Sep: '09', Oct: '10', Nov: '11', Dec: '12' },
            s = array1[i];
            return s.replace(/^(...)(.+)$/, (_, m, y) => [y.padStart(4, '0'), months[m]].join('-'));
            }
            return getD(a).localeCompare(getD(b));
            }),
            result = [array1, array3].map(a => indices.map(i => a[i]));

            result.forEach(a => console.log(...a));

            To order properly you need to know the order of the months. This is not alphabetical so you can use an array with the order of the months then look them up.



            const monthOrder = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']



            Is already properly sorted and can be used in conjunction with .indexOf() to get the position of a month.






            const myArr =  ['Mar19','Apr18','Jun18','Jul18','May18','Jan19'];
            const myArr2 = ['Mar19_value','Apr18_value','Jun18_value','Jul18_value','May18_value'
            ,'Jan19_value'];

            const monthOrder = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']

            let sortYearMonth = (a, b) => {
            let monthA = monthOrder.indexOf(a.slice(0,3))
            let yearA = a.slice(3,6)
            let monthB = monthOrder.indexOf(b.slice(0,3))
            let yearB = b.slice(3,6)
            return (`${yearA}-${monthA}` < `${yearB}-${monthB}`) ? -1 : (`${yearA}-${monthA}` > `${yearB}-${monthB}`) ? 1 : 0
            }

            let sortedMonths = myArr.sort(sortYearMonth)
            let sortedMonths2 = myArr2.sort(sortYearMonth)

            console.log(sortedMonths )
            console.log(sortedMonths2 )





            Update: values in same position



            Updated version links the two arrays together then sorts the first while keeping the relative position to the second.



            Idea: Link two arrays with a temporary Object then extract the key/value pair using Object.entries. Then sorting the array based on the first value of the pair, which is the value of array1. Then it returns the key/value pair in the right order you can extract the values into two arrays again by using .map()



            I added a run with the string based example and the real values examples below




            const myArr = ['Mar19', 'Apr18', 'Jun18', 'Jul18', 'May18', 'Jan19'];
            const myArr2 = ['Mar19_value', 'Apr18_value', 'Jun18_value', 'Jul18_value', 'May18_value', 'Jan19_value'];

            const myArr3 = ['55','2','3','0','21','132'];

            const monthOrder = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']

            let sortYearMonth = (a, b) => {
            let monthA = monthOrder.indexOf(a.slice(0, 3))
            let yearA = a.slice(3, 6)
            let monthB = monthOrder.indexOf(b.slice(0, 3))
            let yearB = b.slice(3, 6)
            return (`${yearA}-${monthA}` < `${yearB}-${monthB}`) ? -1 : (`${yearA}-${monthA}` > `${yearB}-${monthB}`) ? 1 : 0
            }

            function sortByFirst(myArr, myArr2) {
            let keyValue = myArr.reduce((links, item, i) => {
            links[item] = myArr2[i];
            return links
            }, {})
            let entries = Object.entries(keyValue)
            return entries.sort((a, b) => sortYearMonth(a[0], b[0]))
            }

            let sortedEntries = sortByFirst(myArr, myArr2)
            let sortedMonths = sortedEntries.map(i => i[0])
            let sortedValues = sortedEntries.map(i => i[1])

            let sortedEntries2 = sortByFirst(myArr, myArr3)
            let sortedMonths2 = sortedEntries2.map(i => i[0])
            let sortedValues2 = sortedEntries2.map(i => i[1])

            console.log(sortedMonths)
            console.log(sortedValues)

            To order properly you need to know the order of the months. This is not alphabetical so you can use an array with the order of the months then look them up.



            const monthOrder = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']



            Is already properly sorted and can be used in conjunction with .indexOf() to get the position of a month.






            const myArr =  ['Mar19','Apr18','Jun18','Jul18','May18','Jan19'];
            const myArr2 = ['Mar19_value','Apr18_value','Jun18_value','Jul18_value','May18_value'
            ,'Jan19_value'];

            const monthOrder = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']

            let sortYearMonth = (a, b) => {
            let monthA = monthOrder.indexOf(a.slice(0,3))
            let yearA = a.slice(3,6)
            let monthB = monthOrder.indexOf(b.slice(0,3))
            let yearB = b.slice(3,6)
            return (`${yearA}-${monthA}` < `${yearB}-${monthB}`) ? -1 : (`${yearA}-${monthA}` > `${yearB}-${monthB}`) ? 1 : 0
            }

            let sortedMonths = myArr.sort(sortYearMonth)
            let sortedMonths2 = myArr2.sort(sortYearMonth)

            console.log(sortedMonths )
            console.log(sortedMonths2 )





            Update: values in same position



            Updated version links the two arrays together then sorts the first while keeping the relative position to the second.



            Idea: Link two arrays with a temporary Object then extract the key/value pair using Object.entries. Then sorting the array based on the first value of the pair, which is the value of array1. Then it returns the key/value pair in the right order you can extract the values into two arrays again by using .map()



            I added a run with the string based example and the real values examples below




            const myArr = ['Mar19', 'Apr18', 'Jun18', 'Jul18', 'May18', 'Jan19'];
            const myArr2 = ['Mar19_value', 'Apr18_value', 'Jun18_value', 'Jul18_value', 'May18_value', 'Jan19_value'];

            const myArr3 = ['55','2','3','0','21','132'];

            const monthOrder = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']

            let sortYearMonth = (a, b) => {
            let monthA = monthOrder.indexOf(a.slice(0, 3))
            let yearA = a.slice(3, 6)
            let monthB = monthOrder.indexOf(b.slice(0, 3))
            let yearB = b.slice(3, 6)
            return (`${yearA}-${monthA}` < `${yearB}-${monthB}`) ? -1 : (`${yearA}-${monthA}` > `${yearB}-${monthB}`) ? 1 : 0
            }

            function sortByFirst(myArr, myArr2) {
            let keyValue = myArr.reduce((links, item, i) => {
            links[item] = myArr2[i];
            return links
            }, {})
            let entries = Object.entries(keyValue)
            return entries.sort((a, b) => sortYearMonth(a[0], b[0]))
            }

            let sortedEntries = sortByFirst(myArr, myArr2)
            let sortedMonths = sortedEntries.map(i => i[0])
            let sortedValues = sortedEntries.map(i => i[1])

            let sortedEntries2 = sortByFirst(myArr, myArr3)
            let sortedMonths2 = sortedEntries2.map(i => i[0])
            let sortedValues2 = sortedEntries2.map(i => i[1])

            console.log(sortedMonths)
            console.log(sortedValues)

            console.log(sortedMonths2)
            console.log(sortedValues2)

            • i have done some changes in the question please can you have a look at it. sortYearMonth can not sort the values array because it does include month and year it justs integers. basically i want to get the new index of array1 items and then move array2 items to their new positions according to month names of array1

                                            I would suggest that your data structure is unfortunate. Working with shared indices makes it much more difficult than a data structure that combines them, such as an array of objects, [{label: 'Mar19', value: 55}, ...].



                                            If your data is coming from an upstream solution you cannot control, you can still manage this in your own work, converting before you use it. (And if you really have to converting back to pass to others.)



                                            A common name for a function combining two arrays is zip -- think of it acting like a zipper. This version uses one that takes a function to say how the paired elements should be combined. (Elsewhere such a function might be called zipWith.)



                                            Here sortArraysByDate calls zip passing a function that turns 'Mar19' and 55 into {label: 'Mar19, value: 55, month: 'Mar', year: 19} using dateFields to extract the month and year from that label, then sorts these using the straightforward dateSort






                                            const months = {Jan: 1, Feb: 2, Mar: 3, Apr: 4,  May: 5,  Jun: 6,
                                            Jul: 7, Aug: 8, Sep: 9, Oct: 10, Nov: 11, Dec: 12}

                                            const dateFields = (d) => ({
                                            month: d.slice(0, 3),
                                            year: Number(d.slice(3))
                                            })

                                            const dateSort = ({month: m1, year: y1}, {month: m2, year: y2}) =>
                                            (y1 - y2) || (months[m1] - months[m2])

                                            const zip = (fn, a1, a2) => a1.map((a, i) => fn(a, a2[i]))

                                            const sortArraysByDate = (a1, a2) =>
                                            zip((label, value) => ({label, value, ...dateFields(label)}), a1, a2)
                                            .sort(dateSort)
                                            .map(({label, value}) => ({label, value}))


                                            const Array1 = ['Mar19','Apr18','Jun18','Jul18','May18','Jan19'];
                                            const Array2 = ['55','2','3','0','21','132']; //real values

                                            const result = sortArraysByDate(Array1, Array2)

                                            console.log(result)





                                            The map call in sortArraysByDate is quite possibly not necessary. Without it, the resulting data includes extra year and month fields; that might not be an issue.



                                            If you really need those updated arrays in the original format, you can just map the result:



                                            const newArray1 = result.map(o => o.label)
                                            const newArray2 = result.map(o => o.value)


                                            But I would urge you not to do this unless it's absolutely necessary. This structure is really useful. The paired arrays are much less so.



                                            Also, if you need to combine more than two arrays, you could write a slightly more sophisticated version of zip:



                                            const zip = (fn, ...as) => as[0].map((_, i) => fn(...as.map(a => a[i])))


                                            This takes a function on n arguments, and n arrays, and yields a new array containing the result of calling that function respectively on the successive items in each of the arrays.

                                                I would suggest that your data structure is unfortunate. Working with shared indices makes it much more difficult than a data structure that combines them, such as an array of objects, [{label: 'Mar19', value: 55}, ...].



                                                If your data is coming from an upstream solution you cannot control, you can still manage this in your own work, converting before you use it. (And if you really have to converting back to pass to others.)



                                                A common name for a function combining two arrays is zip -- think of it acting like a zipper. This version uses one that takes a function to say how the paired elements should be combined. (Elsewhere such a function might be called zipWith.)



                                                Here sortArraysByDate calls zip passing a function that turns 'Mar19' and 55 into {label: 'Mar19, value: 55, month: 'Mar', year: 19} using dateFields to extract the month and year from that label, then sorts these using the straightforward dateSort






                                                const months = {Jan: 1, Feb: 2, Mar: 3, Apr: 4,  May: 5,  Jun: 6,
                                                Jul: 7, Aug: 8, Sep: 9, Oct: 10, Nov: 11, Dec: 12}

                                                const dateFields = (d) => ({
                                                month: d.slice(0, 3),
                                                year: Number(d.slice(3))
                                                })

                                                const dateSort = ({month: m1, year: y1}, {month: m2, year: y2}) =>
                                                (y1 - y2) || (months[m1] - months[m2])

                                                const zip = (fn, a1, a2) => a1.map((a, i) => fn(a, a2[i]))

                                                const sortArraysByDate = (a1, a2) =>
                                                zip((label, value) => ({label, value, ...dateFields(label)}), a1, a2)
                                                .sort(dateSort)
                                                .map(({label, value}) => ({label, value}))


                                                const Array1 = ['Mar19','Apr18','Jun18','Jul18','May18','Jan19'];
                                                const Array2 = ['55','2','3','0','21','132']; //real values

                                                const result = sortArraysByDate(Array1, Array2)

                                                console.log(result)





                                                The map call in sortArraysByDate is quite possibly not necessary. Without it, the resulting data includes extra year and month fields; that might not be an issue.



                                                If you really need those updated arrays in the original format, you can just map the result:



                                                const newArray1 = result.map(o => o.label)
                                                const newArray2 = result.map(o => o.value)


                                                But I would urge you not to do this unless it's absolutely necessary. This structure is really useful. The paired arrays are much less so.



                                                Also, if you need to combine more than two arrays, you could write a slightly more sophisticated version of zip:



                                                const zip = (fn, ...as) => as[0].map((_, i) => fn(...as.map(a => a[i])))


                                                This takes a function on n arguments, and n arrays, and yields a new array containing the result of calling that function respectively on the successive items in each of the arrays.

                                                const dateFields = (d) => ({
                                                month: d.slice(0, 3),
                                                year: Number(d.slice(3))
