Java Shifting Elements in an Array

Question

I have an array of objects in Java  and I am trying to pull one element to the top and shift the rest down by one   Assume I have an array of size 10  and I am trying to pull the fifth element  The fifth element goes into position 0 and all elements from 0 to 5 will be shifted down by one   This algorithm does not properly shift the elements   Object temp   pool position    for  int i   0  i  lt  position  i                          array i 1    array i     array 0    temp    How do I do it correctly

Just for completeness  Stream solution since Java 8   final String   shiftedArray   Arrays stream array           skip 1           toArray String    new     I think I sticked with the System arraycopy   in your situtation  But the best long-term solution might be to convert everything to Immutable Collections  Guava  Vavr   as long as those collections are short-lived

Manipulating arrays in this way is error prone  as you ve discovered  A better option may be to use a LinkedList in your situation  With a linked list  and all Java collections  array management is handled internally so you don t have to worry about moving elements around  With a LinkedList you just call remove and then addLast and the you re done

Try this   Object temp   pool position    for  int i   position-1  i  gt   0  i--                        array i 1    array i      array 0    temp    Look here to see it working  http   www ideone com 5JfAg

Another variation if you have the array data as a Java-List      listOfStuff add               0               listOfStuff remove listOfStuff size   - 1       Just sharing another option I ran across for this  but I think the answer from  Murat Mustafin is the way to go with a list

Assuming your array is  10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100   What your loop does is   Iteration 1  array 1    array 0    10 10 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100   Iteration 2  array 2    array 1    10 10 10 40 50 60 70 80 90 100   What you should be doing is  Object temp   pool position    for  int i    position - 1   i  gt   0  i--                        array i 1    array i      array 0    temp

Logically it does not work and you should reverse your loop   for  int i   position-1  i  gt   0  i--                        array i 1    array i       Alternatively you can use  System arraycopy array  0  array  1  position

In the first iteration of your loop  you overwrite the value in array 1    You should go through the indicies in the reverse order

You can just use Collections rotate List lt   gt  list  int distance   Use Arrays asList array  to convert to List   more info at  https   docs oracle com javase 7 docs api java util Collections html rotate java util List  20int

Instead of shifting by one position you can make this function more general using module like this   int   original     1  2  3  4  5  6    int   reordered   new int original length   int shift   1   for int i 0  i lt original length i         reordered i    original  shift i  original length
