Sample Solution:

Swift Code:

 func three_elements(_ a: [Int]) -> [Int] {
    var new_array = a
    
    if a.count % 2 == 1 {
        let ctr = a.count
        let second_index = ctr / 2
        let third_index = second_index + 1
        let first_index = second_index - 1
        
        new_array = [a[first_index], a[second_index], a[third_index]]
    }
    
    return new_array
}

print(three_elements([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])) 
print(three_elements([7, 5, 4, 1, 3, 0, 9])) 
print(three_elements([0, 1, 2])) 

Sample Output:

[2, 3, 4]
[4, 1, 3]
[0, 1, 2]

Previous: Write a Swift program to swap the first and last elements of a given array of integers. Return the modified array (length will be at least 1).
Next: Write a Swift program to find the largest value from the first, last, and middle values in a given array of integers and length will be at least 1.
