Photoshop CC2021 layer switch script

Question

Is there a simple approach to switch between Layer 1 and Layer 2 via a script?What should take place first, looping through the layer stack to make sure Layer 1 exist?or making Layer 1 active?

See the code I posted on the following thread. I used the getByName method to get the layer we want to select. If the layer does not exist, the method call raises an expectation; hence the code is enclosed in a try-catch block.

UnlockLayers(app.activeDocument)function UnlockLayers(doc) {     var layers = doc.layers;     for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {          if (layers[i].typename == "LayerSet") {               if (layers[i].visible == true) {                    if (layers[i].allLocked == true) {                         layers[i].allLocked = false;                    }               }          UnlockLayers(layers[i]);} else if (layers[i].typename == "ArtLayer") {     if (layers[i].name == "Layer 1") {          if (layers[i].allLocked == true) {               layers[i].allLocked = false;          }     app.activeDocument.activeLayer = layers[i];     }}If you do not want to UnLock the layers you can comment on the lines.}}
