Mathias Bynens 8ee50178f3 Avoid confusing prototype methods for static methods
Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method)
Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method)

This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

### chunk
Chunks an array into smaller arrays of a specified size.
Use `Array.from()` to create a new array, that fits the number of chunks that will be produced.
Use `Array.prototype.slice()` to map each element of the new array to a chunk the length of `size`.
If the original array can't be split evenly, the final chunk will contain the remaining elements.
```js
const chunk = (arr, size) =>
Array.from({ length: Math.ceil(arr.length / size) }, (v, i) =>
arr.slice(i * size, i * size + size)
);
```
```js
chunk([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 2); // [[1,2],[3,4],[5]]
```
