Sample Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
  <title>JavaScript program to create a new string of 4 copies of the last 3 characters of a given original string. The length of the given string must be 3 and above.</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

JavaScript Code:

function newstring(str)
{
  if (str.length >= 3) {
    result_str = str.substring(str.length - 3);
    return result_str + result_str + result_str + result_str;
  }
  else
    return false;
}
console.log(newstring("Python 3.0"));
console.log(newstring("JS"));
console.log(newstring("JavaScript"));

Sample Output:

JavaScript: Tips of the Day

How to insert an item into an array at a specific index (JavaScript)?

What you want is the splice function on the native array object.

arr.splice(index, 0, item); will insert item into arr at the specified index (deleting 0 items first, that is, it's just an insert). In this example we will create an array and add an element to it into index 2:

var arr = []; arr[0] = "Jani"; arr[1] = "Hege"; arr[2] = "Stale"; arr[3] = "Kai Jim"; arr[4] = "Borge"; console.log(arr.join()); arr.splice(2, 0, "Lene"); console.log(arr.join());
