Steamroller - no solution works

JavaScript
1

I’m trying to do steamroller tasks but none of the prebuilt answers work. I’ve tried using Useful Programmer on youtube but it seems like this task has been updated

Your code so far


function steamrollArray(arr) {
function steamrollArray(arr) {
  while (
    arr.some(function(dataPoint){
      return Array.isArray(dataPoint)
    })
  ) {
    arr = arr.flat();
  }
  
  return arr;


}


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

2

why do you have both those lines?

3

Its a copy and paste mistake, my code does’nt have that in it

4

what do the tests say?

5

// running tests Your solution should not use the

Array.prototype.flat()

or

Array.prototype.flatMap()

methods. // tests completed

The rest of the tests, I pass.

6

are you using those methods?

7

This is the method Array.prototype.flat()

8

arr = arr.flat(); is where I use that method. The thing is that the solutions for the task also use that method as well.

9

do you mean the guide? it seems it was last updated before the last update of the challenge, it is not always up to date

10

Also, no, they don’t, which one do you mean?

11

I just tested all 5 solutions given on the hints page and they all pass. So I’m not sure what code you are using?

I’ve got it working. It seems that even if the code is commented out, it still gets picked up
