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.`.

### flatten
|
|
|
|
Flattens an array up to the specified depth.
|
|
|
|
Use recursion, decrementing `depth` by 1 for each level of depth.
|
|
Use `Array.prototype.reduce()` and `Array.prototype.concat()` to merge elements or arrays.
|
|
Base case, for `depth` equal to `1` stops recursion.
|
|
Omit the second argument, `depth` to flatten only to a depth of `1` (single flatten).
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const flatten = (arr, depth = 1) =>
|
|
arr.reduce((a, v) => a.concat(depth > 1 && Array.isArray(v) ? flatten(v, depth - 1) : v), []);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
flatten([1, [2], 3, 4]); // [1, 2, 3, 4]
|
|
flatten([1, [2, [3, [4, 5], 6], 7], 8], 2); // [1, 2, 3, [4, 5], 6, 7, 8]
|
|
```
