My goal with the code below is to have whatever function passed into fn to ONLY be invoked once. e.g. result returns 5 and the repeated invocation below should also return that same number. What I have right now keeps returning a new number instead of the same one.
function once(fn) {
var done = false;
return function () {
if (!done) {
done = true;
return fn.apply(this, arguments);
} else if (done) {
return fn.apply(this, arguments);
}
};
}
function add(x, y) {
return x + y;
}
var addOnce = once(add);
var result = addOnce(2, 3);
result = addOnce(4, 4);
For getting the same value, you could store the value and return it for every call.
function once(fn) {
var done = false,
value;
return function() {
if (!done) {
done = true;
value = fn.apply(this, arguments);
}
return value;
};
}
function add(x, y) {
return x + y;
}
var addOnce = once(add);
console.log(addOnce(2, 3)); // 5
console.log(addOnce(4, 4)); // 5
