javascript - How does the spread syntax affect array splice

Question

I found the following code and I don't know what is the difference between A and B:

var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];

A

fruits.splice(2,0,["Lemon", "Kiwi"]);

B

fruits.splice(...[2,0].concat(["Lemon", "Kiwi"]));

var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];
var A = fruits.splice(2, 0, ["Lemon", "Kiwi"]);
var B = fruits.splice(...[2, 0].concat(["Lemon", "Kiwi"]));

console.log(A)
console.log(B)

Answer 1

First of all, Statement A & Statement B will generate different results.

In Statement A, you are inserting an array (["Lemon", "Kiwi"]) as an array element at position 2 while removing 0 items. So, you are inserting a string array in another string array at position 2.

var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];


fruits.splice(2,0,["Lemon", "Kiwi"]);

console.log(fruits);
