将拼接后的数组推送到 JavaScript 中的空数组

Question

I want to iterate over an array and consecutively push them into another array after adding the first n numbers:

let arr = []
let iniArr = [...Array(9).keys()].map(item=>1)
let push = iniArr.slice(0,3).reduce((total,num)=>total+num)

for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
  iniArr.splice(i,3)
  iniArr.splice(i,0,push)
  arr.push(iniArr)  
  }

I don't get what is expected but the final result of the whole iteration for each push:

(3) [Array(3), Array(3), Array(3)]
0: (3) [3, 3, 3]
1: (3) [3, 3, 3]
2: (3) [3, 3, 3]

However if I console.log them I get back the results I want in the array:

for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
  iniArr.splice(i,3)
  iniArr.splice(i,0,push)
  console.log(iniArr)    
}

(7) [3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
(5) [3, 3, 1, 1, 1]
(3) [3, 3, 3]

Can someone explain why does it happen?

Answer 1

I have to use spread syntanx,

arr.push([...iniArr]) 
//instead of
arr.push(iniArr)

but I still don't get why.

Answer 2

You are pushing the reference of iniArr 3 times to the arr , and any time the iniArr data changes, the arr respectfully display that.

As you find out, when you pass the values of the iniArr like [...iniArr] and these values are primitive(like numbers that you are using here), so they push to the arr with their values, and not changing, no matter what happened to the iniArr
