javascript insert in array 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: 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 3: add array to array javascript

// SPREAD OPERATOR
 const list1 = ["pepe", "luis", "rua"];
 const list2 = ["rojo", "verde", "azul"];
 const newList = [...list1, ...list2];
 // ["pepe", "luis", "rua", "rojo", "verde", "azul"]

Example 4: add elements to an array with splice

var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = fruits;

function myFunction() {
  fruits.splice(2, 0, "Lemon", "Kiwi");
  document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = fruits;
}

Example 5: javascript Inserting values in between an array

myArray.splice(index, itemsToDelete, item1ToAdd, item2ToAdd, ...)

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"]
