Shuffle Array Elements

In this lab, you are tasked to implement a function that shuffles elements of a given array. The given array, nums, consists of 2n elements in the form [x1,x2,...,xn,y1,y2,...,yn].

Your task is to return the array in the form [x1,y1,x2,y2,...,xn,yn].

Example

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,5,1,3,4,7], n = 3
Output: [2,3,5,4,1,7]
Explanation: Since x1=2, x2=5, x3=1, y1=3, y2=4, y3=7, the answer is [2,3,5,4,1,7].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1], n = 4
Output: [1,4,2,3,3,2,4,1]

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,1,2,2], n = 2
Output: [1,2,1,2]

Constraints

• 1 <= n <= 500
• nums.length == 2n
• 1 <= nums[i] <= 10^3

Challenges

1. Implement the shuffle function
2. Test the implementation with the given examples
3. Export the shuffle function for evaluation

Evaluation Script

import fs from 'fs'
import { shuffle } from '../index.js'

const testlog = []

try {
  const result = shuffle([2, 5, 1, 3, 4, 7], 3)
  if (JSON.stringify(result) === JSON.stringify([2, 3, 5, 4, 1, 7])) {
    testlog.push({ status: 'pass' })
  } else {
    throw new Error('Failed for the provided example 1')
  }
} catch (error) {
  testlog.push({
    status: 'error',
    error: error.message || 'Challenge 1 and 2 failed',
  })
}

try {
  const result = shuffle([1, 1, 2, 2], 2)
  if (JSON.stringify(result) === JSON.stringify([1, 2, 1, 2])) {
    testlog.push({ status: 'pass' })
  } else {
    throw new Error('Failed for the provided example 3')
  }
} catch (error) {
  testlog.push({
    status: 'error',
    error: error.message || 'Challenge 3 failed',
  })
}

fs.writeFileSync(
  '/home/damner/code/.labtests/testlog.json',
  JSON.stringify(testlog),
)

fs.writeFileSync(
  process.env.UNIT_TEST_OUTPUT_FILE,
  JSON.stringify(testlog.map((result) => result.status === 'pass')),
)

Setting Up Test Environment Script

#!/bin/bash
set -e 1

mkdir -p /home/damner/code/.labtests

cat > /home/damner/code/.labtests/package.json << EOF
{
    "type": "module"
}
EOF

cd /home/damner/code/.labtests
mv $TEST_FILE_NAME ./nodecheck.test.js

# import puppeteer doesn't work without it
npm link puppeteer

node nodecheck.test.js 2>&1 | tee evaluationscript.log
