Move an array element from one array position to another

Question

I\'m having a hard time figuring out how to move an array element. For example, given the following:

var arr = [ \'a\', \'b\', \'c\', \'d\', \'e\'];
<         


        

Answer 1

let ar = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];

function change( old_array, old_index , new_index ){

  return old_array.map(( item , index, array )=>{
    if( index === old_index ) return array[ new_index ];
    else if( index === new_index ) return array[ old_index ];
    else return item;
  });

}

let result = change( ar, 0, 1 );

console.log( result );

result:

["b", "a", "c", "d"]
