To Generate UUID

function generateUUID() {
            var d = new Date().getTime();
            var uuid = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function(c) {
                var r = (d + Math.random() * 16) % 16 | 0;
                d = Math.floor(d / 16);
                return (c == 'x' ? r : (r & 0x3 | 0x8)).toString(16);
            });
            return uuid;
        }

Extract Sentences from Paragraph

function extractSentences(paragraph) {
      return paragraph.match(/[^\.!\?]+[\.!\?]+/g); //get sentences
}

Produces an array of sentences from paragraph.

Sample output as executed in console:

var paragraph = "In that year, German inventor Karl Benz built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen.. Electric cars, which were invented early in the history of the car, began to become commercially available in 2008.. His inventions were, however, handicapped by problems with water supply and maintaining steam pressure.. Coincidentally, in 1807 the Swiss inventor François Isaac de Rivaz designed his own 'de Rivaz internal combustion engine' and used it to develop the world's first vehicle to be powered by such an engine.. In November 1881, French inventor Gustave Trouvé demonstrated a working three-wheeled car powered by electricity at the International Exposition of Electricity, Paris.. Although several other German engineers (including Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach, and Siegfried Marcus) were working on the problem at about the same time, Karl Benz generally is acknowledged as the inventor of the modern car..

He was awarded the patent for its invention as of his application on 29 January 1886 (under the auspices of his major company, Benz & Cie..

Javascript endsWith and startsWith methods

String.prototype.endsWith = function(suffix) {
     return this.indexOf(suffix, this.length - suffix.length) !== -1;

String.prototype.startsWith = function(searchString, position) {
     position = position || 0;
     return this.substr(position, searchString.length) === searchString;
