This code is using the Array.from()
method to generate an array of numbers from 1 to 5.
Array.from({ length: 5 }, (_, x) => x + 1)
// > Array [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Array.from({length: 10}, (_, x) => x + x );
// > Array [0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18]
Array.from()
is a built-in JavaScript method that creates a new array from an iterable or array-like object. It takes an iterable object as its first argument and an optional mapping function as its second argument.{ length: 5 }
is an object literal with alength
property set to 5. In this context, it is acting as an iterable object. This object represents a sequence of 5 items withundefined
values.(_, x) => x + 1
is a mapping function. The first parameter_
is a placeholder for the current element, andx
represents the current index. The function increments the indexx
by 1, effectively generating an array of numbers starting from 1.
When Array.from()
is called with the iterable { length: 5 }
and the mapping function, it creates an array of numbers from 1 to 5.
