--description--

You are given two arrays and an index.

Copy each element of the first array into the second array, in order.

Begin inserting elements at index n of the second array.

Return the resulting array. The input arrays should remain the same after the function runs.

--hints--

frankenSplice([1, 2, 3], [4, 5], 1) should return [4, 1, 2, 3, 5].

assert.deepEqual(frankenSplice([1, 2, 3], [4, 5], 1), [4, 1, 2, 3, 5]);

frankenSplice([1, 2], ["a", "b"], 1) should return ["a", 1, 2, "b"].

assert.deepEqual(frankenSplice(testArr1, testArr2, 1), ['a', 1, 2, 'b']);

frankenSplice(["claw", "tentacle"], ["head", "shoulders", "knees", "toes"], 2) should return ["head", "shoulders", "claw", "tentacle", "knees", "toes"].

assert.deepEqual(
  frankenSplice(
    ['claw', 'tentacle'],
    ['head', 'shoulders', 'knees', 'toes'],
    2
  ),
  ['head', 'shoulders', 'claw', 'tentacle', 'knees', 'toes']
);

All elements from the first array should be added to the second array in their original order.

assert.deepEqual(frankenSplice([1, 2, 3, 4], [], 0), [1, 2, 3, 4]);

The first array should remain the same after the function runs.

frankenSplice(testArr1, testArr2, 1);
assert.deepEqual(testArr1, [1, 2]);

The second array should remain the same after the function runs.

frankenSplice(testArr1, testArr2, 1);
assert.deepEqual(testArr2, ['a', 'b']);

--seed--

--after-user-code--

let testArr1 = [1, 2];
let testArr2 = ["a", "b"];

--seed-contents--

function frankenSplice(arr1, arr2, n) {
  return arr2;
}

frankenSplice([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], 1);

--solutions--

function frankenSplice(arr1, arr2, n) {
  // It's alive. It's alive!
  let result = arr2.slice();
  for (let i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++) {
    result.splice(n+i, 0, arr1[i]);
  }
  return result;
}

frankenSplice([1, 2, 3], [4, 5], 1);
