In this lab, you will need to create an algorithm to merge two arrays.
Objective: Fulfill the user stories below and get all the tests to pass to complete the lab.
User Stories:
frankenSplice function that accepts two arrays and an index.frankenSplice([1, 2, 3], [4, 5], 1) should return [4, 1, 2, 3, 5].
assert.deepEqual(frankenSplice([1, 2, 3], [4, 5], 1), [4, 1, 2, 3, 5]);
frankenSplice([1, 2], ["a", "b"], 1) should return ["a", 1, 2, "b"].
let testArr1 = [1, 2];
let testArr2 = ['a', 'b'];
assert.deepEqual(frankenSplice(testArr1, testArr2, 1), ['a', 1, 2, 'b']);
frankenSplice(["claw", "tentacle"], ["head", "shoulders", "knees", "toes"], 2) should return ["head", "shoulders", "claw", "tentacle", "knees", "toes"].
assert.deepEqual(
frankenSplice(
['claw', 'tentacle'],
['head', 'shoulders', 'knees', 'toes'],
2
),
['head', 'shoulders', 'claw', 'tentacle', 'knees', 'toes']
);
All elements from the first array should be added to the second array in their original order. frankenSplice([1, 2, 3, 4], [], 0) should return [1, 2, 3, 4].
assert.deepEqual(frankenSplice([1, 2, 3, 4], [], 0), [1, 2, 3, 4]);
The first array should remain the same after the function runs.
let testArr1 = [1, 2];
let testArr2 = ['a', 'b'];
frankenSplice(testArr1, testArr2, 1);
assert.deepEqual(testArr1, [1, 2]);
The second array should remain the same after the function runs.
let testArr1 = [1, 2];
let testArr2 = ['a', 'b'];
frankenSplice(testArr1, testArr2, 1);
assert.deepEqual(testArr2, ['a', 'b']);
function frankenSplice(arr1, arr2, n) {
let result = arr2.slice();
for (let i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++) {
result.splice(n + i, 0, arr1[i]);
}
return result;
}
