splice insert into array code example

Example 1: 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 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: insert item into array specific index javascript

myArray.splice(index, 0, item);

Example 4: javascript Inserting values in between an array

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