Describe the process of inserting an element at a specific position in an array using swapping.

To insert an element at a specific position in an array using swapping, follow the steps below:

1. Determine the position where you want to insert the element. Let's assume the position is 'pos'.

2. Check if the position is valid, i.e., it should be within the range of the array's indices. If the position is less than 0 or greater than the array's length, it is an invalid position.

3. Create a new array with a size one greater than the original array to accommodate the new element.

4. Iterate through the original array up to the position 'pos - 1' and copy each element to the new array.

5. Insert the new element at the position 'pos' in the new array.

6. Continue iterating through the original array from position 'pos' and copy each element to the new array starting from position 'pos + 1'.

7. Finally, assign the new array to the original array to replace it.

Here is a sample implementation in Python:

```python
def insert_element(arr, pos, element):
if pos < 0 or pos > len(arr):
print("Invalid position")
return arr

new_arr = [None] * (len(arr) + 1)

for i in range(pos):
new_arr[i] = arr[i]

new_arr[pos] = element

for i in range(pos + 1, len(new_arr)):
new_arr[i] = arr[i - 1]

return new_arr

# Example usage
array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
position = 2
element = 10

new_array = insert_element(array, position, element)
print(new_array)
```

In this example, the original array is [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. We want to insert the element 10 at position 2. The output will be [1, 2, 10, 3, 4, 5], which is the updated array after inserting the element at the specified position.
