Zip Arrays

Question

Zip Arrays

Accepted Answer

### 💡 How to Think About This Problem
When implementing **Zip Arrays** in an interview, the interviewer evaluates your core JavaScript capabilities, syntax familiarity, and edge-case handling.

#### 1. Deconstructing the Requirements
To construct a robust solution:
* **Pre-conditions**: Handle empty collections or incorrect parameter types.
* **Core Logic**: Target the required functional transformation cleanly.

#### 2. Step-by-Step Breakdown

* **Step 1: Input Validation** - Check constraints and boundary values early on.
* **Step 2: Algorithm Implementation** - Find the length of the longest array. Loop from 0 to that length, mapping over input arrays and extracting item at index. If missing, return the default parameter (or undefined).
* **Step 3: Complexity Analysis** - We prioritize structural sharing and minimal allocations.
