Understanding JavaScript .join() and Multidimensional Arrays

JavaScript arrays can be incredibly powerful, especially when we start talking about multidimensional arrays. However, if you're new to coding, you might run into some common issues. One problem that many beginners face is how to concatenate values in a multidimensional array into a neat string output without unwanted commas. This is a typical challenge when using the .join() method in JavaScript.

The Problem

Consider this scenario: you are trying to push strings into a multidimensional array using nested loops and then convert the final result into a formatted string. While your pushing logic works, you readily notice that the output string contains commas where they shouldn't be. Here's a quick look at the initial code:

As you can see from the output, you end up with unwanted commas in each row. The desired output you want looks like this:

The Solution

What you need to do is join the inner arrays before pushing them into your main array. By creating a temporary inner array, you can combine its elements into a string using the join('') method, eliminating those pesky commas. Let's break it down into detailed steps.

Steps to Fix the Code

Create an Inner Array: For each row in your outer array, create an empty inner array to hold the values temporarily.

Push Values into Inner Array: Use a nested loop to fill each inner array with the desired values, in this case, the character 'x'.

Join the Inner Array: After filling the inner array, join its values using innerArray.join('') and push it into the main array.

Return the Final Output: Join the final array into a formatted string where each row is separated by a newline character.

Updated Code

Here's how you can implement these steps in your attempt function:

Conclusion

By taking the time to adjust your approach and understand how the .join() method works with arrays, you can effectively eliminate unwanted commas in your final string output. This foundational understanding will help you tackle more complex coding scenarios in the future. Happy coding!
