How to move specific item in array list to the first item

Question

For example : A list

A B C D E

Given C , Switch to

C A B D E

Notice that the array size will change, some items may removed in run times

Answer 1

Another solution, just keep swaping from 0 to indexOf(itemToMove).

This is my Kotlin version:

val list = mutableListOf('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E')
(0..list.indexOf('C')).forEach {
    Collections.swap(list, 0, it)
}

Sorry I am unfamiliar with Java but learned a little Kotlin. But the algorithm is the same.
