defang an ip address

[WHAT]

1. [] defang an ip address  -  is the process of taking an ip address value, like 192.168.1.1 and modifying a given element within that value, the dot separator in this case, to wrap it in a pair of square brackets. 
2. [] Given a valid (IPv4) IP address, return a defanged version of that IP address.  A defanged IP address replaces every period "." with "[.]".
3. [] solutions are coded in javascript 

[WHY]

1. [] practice, practice, practice 

[WHERE]

1. [] the function will take an ip address string and will return a new string with all of the dot/periods in the string replaced with [.] sequence
1. [] my initial solution was to iterate over the string and replace the target char with the new sequence of chars, 
2. [] afterthought - WAS a lot easier/simpler/cleaner to just use a regex , dont know what the performance differences would be

[WHEN]

1. [x] 2019-08-22 (local) 

[EXAMPLE]

// use indexOf to identify each

elements = address.split('.');
elements.forEach( function(element) {element += "[.]");
console.log(elements);

//

var address = '192.168.1.1';
var elements = address.split('.');
elements = elements.forEach(function(element) {element = element + "[.]"});
console.log(elements);

// my solution

var address = '192.168.1.1';
var elements = address.split('.');
console.log(elements);

// elements = elements.forEach((element){return element + "[.]";});

for (i=0; i<elements.length - 1; i++){
    elements[i] = elements[i]+ "[.]";
}
console.log(elements.join(""));

output ==  "192[.]168[.]1[.]1"

// fixed forEach function 

var address = "192.168.1.1";
address = address.split('.');
var address2 = [];
address.forEach(function(element) {
      address2.push(element+'[.]');
});

console.log(address2.join(""));

// still need to remove the last "[.]"

>> 

 

// better solution - regex
