Spread operator in Remove an Item from an Array

Tell us what’s happening:
SPOILER: The answer to the exercise is written below.

Why do I need the spread operator there, if I’m calling slice? I don’t quite understand.

Your code so far


const immutableReducer = (state = [0,1,2,3,4,5], action) => {
switch(action.type) {
  case 'REMOVE_ITEM':
    return [...state.slice(0,action.index), ...state.slice(action.index+1, state.length)];
  default:
    return state;
}
};

const removeItem = (index) => {
return {
  type: 'REMOVE_ITEM',
  index
}
}

const store = Redux.createStore(immutableReducer);

SOLVED: I figured it out right after posting. You are recreating a new array composed of the content of both truncated arrays. so you want to spread the arrays in the new array.
