One way to transfer a specific element within an array to a different position within the same array is to use the splice() method.
The splice() method can add or remove elements from an array and returns the removed element(s) as a new array.
To move an element within an array, you can use the splice() method twice: once to remove the element from its original position and another time to add it to its desired position.
Here is an example code snippet to move an element within an array:
const array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
// remove the element at index 3 and save it in a variable
const element = array.splice(3, 1)[0];
// add the element back at index 1
array.splice(1, 0, element);
console.log(array); // Output: [1, 4, 2, 3, 5]
In this example, the element at index 3 (with value 4) is removed from the array and saved in the element
variable. Then, the element is added back to the array at index 1 using the splice()
method.
As a result, the array now contains the element with value 4 at index 1, and the other elements are shifted accordingly.
