The rest parameter is an ES6<\/a> syntax that is used to represent an indefinite number of elements as an array.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See arrays in Java<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example<\/p>\n\n\n\n

function add(...elements){\nlet sum = 0;\nfor(let i of elements){\nsum +=i;\n} \nconsole.log(sum);\n}\n\nconsole.log(add(2,4,6)); \/\/12<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
It can also be used to get the rest elements of an array.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Example<\/p>\n\n\n\n
let snacks = [\"meatpie\", \"sausage\", biscuit\", \"pizza\"];\nlet drinks = [\"Coke\", \"Sprite\", \"Malt\", \"Fanta\"];\n\nsnacks.push(...drinks);\nconsole.log(snacks); \/\/combines all elements of snacks and \/\/drinks<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
