Terse way to intersperse element between all elements in JavaScript array?

Question

Say I have an array var arr = [1, 2, 3], and I want to separate each element by an element eg. var sep = \"&\", so the output is [1, \"&a

Answer 1

In ES6, you'd write a generator function that can produce an iterator which yields the input with the interspersed elements:

function* intersperse(iterable, separator) {
    const iterator = iterable[Symbol.iterator]();
    const first = iterator.next();
    if (first.done) return;
    else yield first.value;
    for (const value of iterator) {
        yield separator;
        yield value;
    }
}

console.log(Array.from(intersperse([1, 2, 3], "&")));
