How to use String Concatenation In Javascript

This approach involves breaking down the original string into substrings, rearranging them, and then concatenating them to create the swapped string.

  • Extract Substrings: We use the substring() method to extract three substrings: before the first character to swap, between the two characters to swap, and after the second character to swap.
  • Construct Swapped String: By rearranging these substrings and inserting the characters to swap in the desired positions, we construct the swapped string.

Example: Define a function to swap characters in a string using string concatenation.

Javascript
// Define a function to swap characters in 
// a string using string concatenation
function swapCharactersConcat(inputString, index1, index2) {

    // Extract characters at the specified indices
    const charAtIndex1 = inputString[index1];
    const charAtIndex2 = inputString[index2];

    // Create a new string with characters swapped
    const swappedString = inputString.substring(0, index1) +
        charAtIndex2 +
        inputString.substring(index1 + 1, index2) +
        charAtIndex1 +
        inputString.substring(index2 + 1);

    // Return the swapped string
    return swappedString;
}

// Original string
const originalString = "example";

// Swap characters at index 0 and 5
const swappedString = 
    swapCharactersConcat(originalString, 0, 5);

// Output the swapped string
console.log(swappedString);
