Basic Algorithm Scripting, Slice and Splice
You are given two arrays and an index.
Use the array methods slice
and splice
to copy each element of the first array into the second array, in order.
Begin inserting elements at index n
of the second array.
Return the resulting array. The input arrays should remain the same after the function runs.
Task
function frankenSplice(arr1, arr2, n) {
// It's alive. It's alive!
return arr2;
}
frankenSplice([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], 1);
Task Conditions to be satisfied
- frankenSplice([1, 2, 3], [4, 5], 1) should return [4, 1, 2, 3, 5].
- frankenSplice([1, 2], [“a”, “b”], 1) should return [“a”, 1, 2, “b”].
- frankenSplice([“claw”, “tentacle”], [“head”, “shoulders”, “knees”, “toes”], 2) should return [“head”, “shoulders”, “claw”, “tentacle”, “knees”, “toes”].
- All elements from the first array should be added to the second array in their original order.
- The first array should remain the same after the function runs.
- The second array should remain the same after the function runs.
Solution
function frankenSplice(arr1, arr2, n) {
// It's alive. It's alive!
let newArr = [];
newArr = arr2.slice(0);
// console.log(newArr);
newArr.splice(n, 0, ...arr1)
arr2 = newArr;
// console.log(arr2);
return arr2;
}
frankenSplice([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], 1);
