Why not use a really simple solution with plain ES5?
function lastToFirst(array) { const result = array.slice(0); result.unshift(result.pop()); return result; }
This was literally my first thought when I was reading the problem.
I agree this is readable.
If you handed this to a new developer and asked them what it did they might be lost for a little while.
const lastToFirst = _ => [_.pop(), ..._];
Also, that would change the original array, which is not the intended functionality.
Good point, you'd have to do something like
const lastToFirst = _ => {const $ = _.slice(); return [$.pop(), ...$]};
which is even more convoluted.
How about const lastToFirst = _ => ($ => [$.pop(), ...$])(_.slice()) as even more convoluted example?
const lastToFirst = _ => ($ => [$.pop(), ...$])(_.slice())
Yikes...
I kinda love it.
I mean it would be ES5 if const was var. 😂
const
var
Anyway, I like how concise it is. Three lines of code sure does look more satisfying than whatever I did, despite their similarities.
