I have a multidimensional array like below and I want to shift column positions using javascript or ES6 with no jquery or any other plugins.
Eg: Initial array will look like this.
1|2|3|4
2|2|6|4
4|2|3|4
9|2|7|4
How can I shift the 4th column to 1st position so that it will look like this?
4|1|2|3
4|2|2|6
4|4|2|3
4|9|2|7
Could someone can help with logic to shift any columns like this?
You can use array.map to re-arrange the values:
function rearrange(rows, pos) {
return rows.map(function(cols) {
return pos.map(function(i) {
return cols[i];
});
});
}
var old_arr;
var new_arr;
old_arr = [
[1, 2, 3, 4],
[2, 2, 6, 4],
[4, 2, 3, 4],
[9, 2, 7, 4]
];
new_arr = rearrange(old_arr, [3, 0, 1, 2]);
console.log(new_arr);
old_arr = [
[1, 2, 3, 4],
[2, 2, 6, 4],
[4, 2, 3, 4],
[9, 2, 7, 4]
];
new_arr = rearrange(old_arr, [3, 2, 1, 0]);
console.log(new_arr);
You could assing a mapped outer array with new items by slicing the inner arrays with a given index.
For getting the original sort, you could shiftby the delta of length and index.
const shift = (array, index) => array.map(a => [...a.slice(index), ...a.slice(0, index)]);
var array = [[1, 2, 3, 4], [2, 2, 6, 4], [4, 2, 3, 4], [9, 2, 7, 4]],
index = 3;
array = shift(array, index);
console.log(array.map(a => a.join(' ')));
array = shift(array, array[0].length - index);
console.log(array.map(a => a.join(' ')));.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }
