really? that was super simple bro

//lets say you have an array like this
let animal=['panda','cat','mongoose'];

//then if you want to clone it one of the method i copy from mr awais is this one
let animalClone=[...animal]

as simple as that

Which method do you prefer to clone an array, and why?

1️⃣ [...arr];
2️⃣ arr.slice(0);
3️⃣ Array.from(arr);
4️⃣ arr.map((x) => x);
5️⃣ arr.concat([]);
6️⃣ JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(arr));

You can do the same with objects. Keep in mind, this doesn't deep clone. So if you intend to change the values in any way, you'll still be mutating the pointer, and by consequence, the original object.
