Given a function fn
, an array of arguments args
, and a timeout t
in milliseconds, return a cancel function cancelFn
.
After a delay of t
, fn
should be called with args
passed as parameters unless cancelFn
was invoked before the delay of t
milliseconds elapses, specifically at cancelT
ms. In that case, fn
should never be called.
Example 1:
Input: fn = (x) => x * 5, args = [2], t = 20, cancelT = 50 Output: [{"time": 20, "returned": 10}] Explanation: const cancel = cancellable((x) => x * 5, [2], 20); // fn(2) called at t=20ms setTimeout(cancel, 50); The cancellation was scheduled to occur after a delay of cancelT (50ms), which happened after the execution of fn(2) at 20ms.
Example 2:
Input: fn = (x) => x**2, args = [2], t = 100, cancelT = 50 Output: [] Explanation: const cancel = cancellable((x) => x**2, [2], 100); // fn(2) not called setTimeout(cancel, 50); The cancellation was scheduled to occur after a delay of cancelT (50ms), which happened before the execution of fn(2) at 100ms, resulting in fn(2) never being called.
Example 3:
Input: fn = (x1, x2) => x1 * x2, args = [2,4], t = 30, cancelT = 100 Output: [{"time": 30, "returned": 8}] Explanation: const cancel = cancellable((x1, x2) => x1 * x2, [2,4], 30); // fn(2,4) called at t=30ms setTimeout(cancel, 100); The cancellation was scheduled to occur after a delay of cancelT (100ms), which happened after the execution of fn(2,4) at 30ms.
Constraints:
fn is a function
args is a valid JSON array
1 <= args.length <= 10
20 <= t <= 1000
10 <= cancelT <= 1000
