_replaceAdjacentItems(
      startingIndex,
      numItemsToReplace,
      newValues: any[],
      array
): void

Beginning at startingIndex, replaces adjacent numItemsToReplace with newValues, in array.
startingIndex can be negative or positive.
The number of items in newValues does not have to match numItemsToReplace.

Examples

let arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8];

_replaceAdjacentItems(0, 1, [30, 40], arr);
// arr is now [30, 40, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8];

_replaceAdjacentItems(3, 3, ['x'], arr);
// arr is now  [1, 2, 3, 'x', 7, 8];

arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8];

_replaceAdjacentItems(-4, 2, ['x', 'y', 'z'], arr);
// arr is now  [1, 2, 3, 4, 'x', 'y', 'z', 7, 8];
