 Checks if the provided argument is array-like (i.e. is iterable).
 
-Use the spread operator (`...`) to check if the provided argument is iterable inside a `try... catch` block and the comma operator (`,`) to return the appropriate value.
+Check if the provided argument is not `null` and that its `Symbol.iterator` property is a function.
 
 ```js
-const isArrayLike = val => {
-  try {
-    return [...val], true;
-  } catch (e) {
-    return false;
-  }
-};
+const isArrayLike = obj => obj != null && typeof obj[Symbol.iterator] === 'function';
