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

You could use Array.from to create an array with the final size, and then use the callback argument to actually populate it:

const intersperse = (arr, sep) => Array.from(
    { length: Math.max(0, arr.length * 2 - 1) }, 
    (_, i) => i % 2 ? sep : arr[i >> 1]
);
// Demo:
let res = intersperse([1, 2, 3], "&");
console.log(res);
