Mutate array by copy
When working with arrays in JavaScript, it’s essential to understand the distinction between mutating an array in place and creating a new array by copying its elements. Let’s explore both approaches: Mutating the Original Array (In-Place) When you want to modify the original array directly, you can use methods that mutate the array without creating a new one.
