Shift list elements to left by 3

Shift list elements to left by 3 is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Task

Shift list elements to left by 3.

shift = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
result = [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 3]

Ring

<lang ring> see "working..." + nl

shift = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] lenshift = len(shift) shiftNew = list(lenshift) nshift = 3 temp = list(nshift)

see "original list:" + nl showArray(shift) see nl + "shift list elements to left by 3:" + nl

for n = 1 to nshift

   temp[n] = shift[n]

next

for n = 1 to lenshift - nshift

   shiftNew[n] = shift[n+nshift]

next

for n = lenshift-nshift+1 to lenshift

   shiftNew[n] = temp[n-lenshift+nshift]

next

showArray(shiftNew)
