complementary DNA.js

// Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a chemical found in the nucleus of cells and carries the "instructions" for the development and functioning of living organisms.

// If you want to know more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA

// In DNA strings, symbols "A" and "T" are complements of each other, as "C" and "G". Your function receives one side of the DNA (string, except for Haskell); you need to return the other complementary side. DNA strand is never empty or there is no DNA at all (again, except for Haskell).

// More similar exercise are found here: http://rosalind.info/problems/list-view/ (source)

// Example: (input --> output)

// "ATTGC" --> "TAACG"
// "GTAT" --> "CATA"

function dnaStrand(dna){
    return dna.split('')
              .map(x=> {
                  return x=='A'? "T": x=="T"? "A": x =="C"? "G" : "C"
                  })
              .join('')
