How to split string and create an array?

Question

let name = "Stack Overflow"

I want to ignore space and create an array with each alphabet as an element.

Expected result: ["S", "t", "a", "c", "k", "O", "v", "e", "r", "f", "l", "o", "w"]

I would try with `name.split('').filter(e => e !== ' ')` or maybe with `name.replace(' ', '').split('')`. — norbitrial, May 14 '20 at 15:16

What is expected result? I though its `["S", "t", "a", "c", "k", "O", "v", "e", "r", "f", "l", "o", "w"]` — Soham, May 14 '20 at 15:24

On javascript you're looking for spread (link to docs) operator associate with a filter method (link to docs):

The spread will create an array with all chars from your string, the filter will ignore all spaces for you:

let name = "Stack Overflow"

let myArray = [...name].filter(letter => letter !== ' ');

// myArray will be:
[
  'S', 't', 'a', 'c',
  'k', 'O', 'v', 'e',
  'r', 'f', 'l', 'o',
  'w'
]

This also right for es6 ! Cheer
