Clone Multidimensional Array in javascript

Question

I want to make a clone of multidimensional Array so that i can play arround with the clone array without affecting main Array.

I\'m using following function to do so

Answer 1

You need to use recursion

var a = [1,2,[3,4,[5,6]]];

Array.prototype.clone = function() {
    var arr = [];
    for( var i = 0; i < this.length; i++ ) {
//      if( this[i].constructor == this.constructor ) {
        if( this[i].clone ) {
            //recursion
            arr[i] = this[i].clone();
            break;
        }
        arr[i] = this[i];
    }
    return arr;
}

var b = a.clone()

console.log(a);
console.log(b);

b[2][0] = 'a';

console.log(a);
console.log(b);

/*
[1, 2, [3, 4, [5, 6]]]
[1, 2, [3, 4, [5, 6]]]
[1, 2, [3, 4, [5, 6]]]
[1, 2, ["a", 4, [5, 6]]]
*/

Any other objects in the original array will be copied by reference though
