Tell us what’s happening:

“Hey everyone, I’m looking for some guidance on using the Array() constructor in JavaScript. Specifically, I’m curious about its usage with single numeric arguments versus multiple arguments. Any insights or examples would be greatly appreciated!”

Welcome to the forum!

You can study Array( ) here:

The thing with this task (I struggled with this too first) is that it wants you to write the function in one specific way:

  • After the new ES6 syntax as an arrow function and without brackets for the function body (one element rule).
  • Also implicit, meaning without a return keyword.
  • Array( ) without anything passed to is as an “empty array”.
