## JavaScript
```js
const track = document.getElementById('track');
  const slideWidth = 340;
  let current = 0;
  const total = 4;

  function goTo(idx) {
    current = Math.max(0, Math.min(total - 1, idx));
    track.style.transform = `translateX(-${current * slideWidth}px)`;
  }

  function next() { goTo(current + 1); }
  function prev() { goTo(current - 1); }
  function skip() { goTo(total - 1); }

  // Touch/swipe support
  let startX = 0;
  track.addEventListener('touchstart', e => { startX = e.touches[0].clientX; }, { passive: true });
  track.addEventListener('touchend', e => {
    const dx = e.changedTouches[0].clientX - startX;
    if (dx < -40) next();
    if (dx > 40) prev();
  });
```
