Intermediate Algorithm Scripting - Steamroller

Tell us what’s happening:
I already figured out the recursive function, but for whatever reason I cannot push the primitive elements to a new array.

Your code so far

function steamrollArray(arr) {
  let newArr = []
  for (let x of arr) {

    if (Array.isArray(x) == true ) { 
        steamrollArray(x);
    } 
        
    else {
      newArr.push(x)     
     }
     
  }
   return newArr
  
}

steamrollArray([1, [2], [3, [[4]]]]);

Yes, you are making a recursive call here, but what are you doing with the return value?
