Transform into an Array with No Duplicates

A set is a collection of unique items. A set can be formed from an array from removing all duplicate items.

[1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 5]
// original array

[1, 3, 5]
// original array transformed into a set

Create a function that transforms an array into a set.

Examples
makeSet([1, 3, 3, 5, 5])  [1, 3, 5]

makeSet([4, 4, 4, 4])  [4]

makeSet([5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15])  [5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15]

Spelling It Out

Create a function which takes in a word and spells it out, by consecutively adding letters until the full word is completed.

Examples
spellOut("bee")  ["b", "be", "bee"]

spellOut("happy")  ["h", "ha", "hap", "happ", "happy"]

spellOut("eagerly")  ["e", "ea", "eag", "eage", "eager", "eagerl", "eagerly"]
Notes
  • How might I break a string out into an array?

Isograms

Determine if a word or phrase is an isogram.

An isogram (also known as a “nonpattern word”) is a word or phrase without a repeating letter, however spaces and hyphens are allowed to appear multiple times.

Examples of isograms:

lumberjacks background downstream six-year-old The word isograms, however, is not an isogram, because the s repeats.

Examples
isIsogram('duplicates')  true
isIsogram('eleven')  false
isIsogram('subdermatoglyphic')  true
isIsogram('alphabet')  false
isIsogram('éléphant')  false
isIsogram('six-year-old')  true

Pangrams

Determine if a sentence is a pangram. A pangram (Greek: παν γράμμα, pan gramma, “every letter”) is a sentence using every letter of the alphabet at least once. The best known English pangram is:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

The alphabet used consists of letters from a to z and is case insensitive. The input will not contain any other symbols.

isPangram('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')  true
isPangram('the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog')  true
isPangram('the_quick_brown_fox_jumps_over_the_lazy_dog')  true
isPangram('a quick movement of the enemy will jeopardize five gunboats')  false
