Javascript easy array declartion option like perl

Question

In perl we can declare the array with qw or quote word take make each word is taken into individual array cell. eg.

 my @arr= qw( hello
           world)

or else you need to quote each word eg

my @arr = ("hello" ,  "word");

Is there something similar in javascript as sometime it need lot of formatting to simple declare array.

Answer 1

This is what you need, for this specific case: const arr = 'hello world'.split(' '); .

Edit: Check out the docs for String.split on MDN . Also, read something on types in JavaScript, if you are wondering why it is possible to call this method on string literal, as I did.
