Basic JavaScript - Manipulate Arrays With push Method

Tell us what’s happening:

Describe your issue in detail here.

I have a silly question. In the sample code, I am presented with two push examples. The first “arr1.push(4, 5);” utilises only parentheses, while the second utilises both parentheses and brackets (). I wonder why the difference? Couldn’t the second one simply have been written as arr2.push(“happy”, “joy”); and still have worked?
I thank you for your time and kindness!

Your code so far

const arr1 = [1, 2, 3];
arr1.push(4, 5);

const arr2 = ["Stimpson", "J", "cat"];
arr2.push(["happy", "joy"]);

Here you are pushing two things, the number 4 and the number 5

Here you are pushing one thing, an array holding two words
