TakeMeTour Internship Program 2019

Hi all applicants! Welcome to TakeMeTour Internship Program 2019. Being an intern at TakeMeTour is challenging so we have challenges for you! These challenges are designed to assess your learning skill, which is the fundamental and most important skill of a great software developer. So I do not expect you to have full or any knowledge about the topic beforehand but it's your job to try to learn and answer those challenges.

Algorithm in Javascript

Code must be written in Javascript language. The code will be tested with Node8, so you can use all Javascript features that are available in Node8.

1. Write a function that shifts the elements of array to left or right by n elements in an infinite loop. the function receives 3 parameters, 1st is an array, 2nd is the direction ('left' or 'right'), 3rd is the number of elements which will be shifted. For example,

> shift(['john', 'jane', 'sarah', 'alex'], 'left', 2)
['sarah', 'alex', 'john', 'jane']

> shift([1, 2, 3, 4 ,5], 'right', 3)
[3, 4, 5, 1, 2]
