Split string into individual characters?

[gtrman97]

This code

var chars = "the".split(" "); 
  console.log(chars);

seems to put the entire word “the” into index 0 of an array.

But I want it to print out like [‘t’, ‘h’, ‘e’]

You have passed it a string with a space in it - that is you telling it to break it up using the spaces as delimiters. If you send it nothing, it will just break it into every character, split();

[gtrman97]

var chars = "the".split(); 
  console.log(chars);

produces the same result.

You will want to look at the second example from the docs.
