Generate an array of numbers, filled from start to length - allowing values to be skipped in a skipValues array

generateArrayOfNumbers.ts

const generateArray = (start: number, length: number, skipValues: number[] = []): number[] => {
    const outputArray: number[] = [];

    // Length of array should be length + skipValues length since we will be skipping that many iterations of i
    length = length + skipValues.length;

    // Loop until proper array length is reached
    for (let i=start;i<length-1;i++) {
        
        // If the value of i isn't contained in skipValues, we push it to outputArray;
        if (skipValues.indexOf(i) < 0) {
            outputArray.push(i);
        } else {
            // Skip the value because it's contained in skipValues. Since we did this, 
            // and to ensure proper length of outputArray, we increment i and move on.
            i++;
        }
    }

    // Return the result
    return outputArray;
