How can I iterate over nested arrays with recursion?

Question

How can I iterate over nested arrays like this with recursion in javascript:

var a = [10, [1, [2,2,2], 3], 20, 'Hallo']

In Python it looks like this:

def foo1(L):
    for i in L:
        if not isinstance(i, list):
            print(i)
        else:
            foo1(i)

foo1(a)

How can I write if not isinstance(i, list): in javascript?

Does [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4775722/how-to-check-if-an-object-is-an-array) look like a suitable dupe to you JS folks? — Aran-Fey, Apr 03 '19 at 10:04

You can use:

var a = [10, [1, [2,2,2], 3], 20, 'Hallo']

for (let item of a) {
    if (!Array.isArray(item)){
      console.log("Not array", item);
    }else{
      console.log("Array", item);
    }
}
