js array push at index code example

Example 1: javascript insert item into array

var colors=["red","blue"];
var index=1;

//insert "white" at index 1
colors.splice(index, 0, "white");   //colors =  ["red", "white", "blue"]

Example 2: javascript push in specific index

arr.splice(index, 0, item);
//explanation:
inserts "item" at the specified "index",
deleting 0 other items before it

Example 3: insert into array js

// for me lol... pls don't delete!
// use splice to insert element
// arr.splice(index, numItemsToDelete, item); 
var list = ["hello", "world"]; 
list.splice( 1, 0, "bye"); 
//result
["hello", "bye", "world"]

Example 4: add element to array using splice

//we can add elements to array using splice

const strings=['a','b','c','d']

//go the 2nd index,remove 0 elements and then add 'alien' to it
strings.splice(2,0,'alien')

console.log(strings) //["a", "b", "alien", "c", "d"]

//what is the time complexity ???
//worst case is O(n). if we are adding to end of array then O(1)
//in our example we added to the middle of array so O(n/2)=>O(n)

Example 5: javascript array push element at index

var arr = [];
arr[0] = "Jani";
arr[1] = "Hege";
arr[2] = "Stale";
arr[3] = "Kai Jim";
arr[4] = "Borge";

console.log(arr.join()); // Jani,Hege,Stale,Kai Jim,Borge
arr.splice(2, 0, "Lene");
console.log(arr.join()); // Jani,Hege,Lene,Stale,Kai Jim,Borge

Example 6: js insert in array

const months = ['Jan', 'March', 'April', 'June'];
months.splice(1, 0, 'Feb');
// inserts at index 1
console.log(months);
// expected output: Array ["Jan", "Feb", "March", "April", "June"]

months.splice(4, 1, 'May');
// replaces 1 element at index 4
console.log(months);
// expected output: Array ["Jan", "Feb", "March", "April", "May"]
