231,269 PointsWhat the spread operator itself does is to convert a collection of items into its individual elements. In your example, "arr
" is an array with potentially several elements; and "...arr
" is the elements all listed out as separate items.
This lets you do things in one step that would otherwise require loops, such as your example of re-combining multiple arrays into a single one.

[1, 2, 3, 'a', 'b', 'c']
