JavaScript Stack: Exercise-19 with Solution

Move Nth from Bottom to Top

Write a JavaScript program to implement a stack and move the nth element from the bottom of the stack to the top.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

class Stack {
  constructor() {
    this.items = [];
  }

  push(element) {
    this.items.push(element);
  }
  pop() {
    if (this.isEmpty()) {
      return "Underflow";
    }
    return this.items.pop();
  }
  peek() {
    return this.items[this.items.length - 1];
  }
  isEmpty() {
    return this.items.length === 0;
  }
  size() {
    return this.items.length;
  }
  
moveNthToBottom(n) {
    if (n > this.items.length || n < 1) {
      throw new Error('Invalid input');
    }
    const removed = this.items.splice(n - 1, 1)[0];
    this.items.push(removed);
    return this.items;
  }
  
displayStack(stack) {
  console.log("Stack elements are:");
  let str = "";
  for (let i = 0; i < stack.items.length; i++)
    str += stack.items[i] + " ";
  return str.trim();
 }      
}

let stack = new Stack();
stack.push(100);
stack.push(200);
stack.push(300);
stack.push(400);
stack.push(500);
stack.push(600);
stack.push(700);
console.log(stack.displayStack(stack));
n = 2;
console.log("Move the nth element from the bottom of the stack to the top, where n = "+n);
stack.moveNthToBottom(n)
console.log(stack.displayStack(stack));
n = 5;
console.log("Move the nth element from the bottom of the stack to the top, where n = "+n);
stack.moveNthToBottom(n)
console.log(stack.displayStack(stack));
n = 7;
console.log("Move the nth element from the bottom of the stack to the top, where n = "+n);
stack.moveNthToBottom(n)
console.log(stack.displayStack(stack));

Sample Output:

Stack elements are:
100 200 300 400 500 600 700
Move the nth element from the bottom of the stack to the top, where n = 2
Stack elements are:
100 300 400 500 600 700 200
Move the nth element from the bottom of the stack to the top, where n = 5
Stack elements are:
100 300 400 500 700 200 600
Move the nth element from the bottom of the stack to the top, where n = 7
Stack elements are:
100 300 400 500 700 200 600

Write a JavaScript function that retrieves the nth element from the bottom of a stack and moves it to the top.
Write a JavaScript function that shifts the selected element from the bottom to the top and reorders the remaining elements accordingly.
Write a JavaScript function that implements this operation using a temporary array to store intermediate results.
Write a JavaScript function that validates the stack size and the value of n before performing the operation.
