Multidimensional Array Javascript with nested loop

Question

For example i have a array like that

var myArray = [
[1,2,3],
[4,5,6],
[7,8,9,10],
[[11,12],[13,14,15]]];

    for (var i = 0;i < myArray.length;i++){
    for(var j = 0 ;j< myArray[i].length;j++){
        for(var k = 0;k< myArray[i][j].length;k++){
            console.log(myArray[i],[j][k]);

        }
    }
        
      
}

But output is only 11,12,13,14,15. And i wanna print all the values Could some one help to fix Thank you in advance

Does this answer your question? Deep flat multidimensional array in Javascript — choz

Write a function (x) that takes an array and iterates over the elements of that array. In the function test every element and if its an array call x with that array.... — Andreas

You have different levels of nesting in your array. [1,2,3] is in the "second level" whereas [11,12] and [13,14,15] are in the "third level". So for instance myArray[i][j].length will be undefined for i == 0 — derpirscher

That would be the perfect moment to use a recursive function, recalling itself each time one entry is an Array! — E-telier

Use e.g. Array.prototype.flat(), .flat(2) flattens to the level of 2 arrays deep.

var myArray = [
[1,2,3],
[4,5,6],
[7,8,9,10],
[[11,12],[13,14,15]]];

console.log(myArray.flat(2));

Why that "magic number" 2?

MWO Over a year ago

The depth level specifying how deep a nested array structure should be flattened. Defaults to 1.

Doesn't really answer my question ;)

you can write Infinity if you're not sure how many levels you have. was not specified in the question though

You can use recursive function first pass it the whole array then loop it and check if the element you are accessing is array or digit if its array call the same function again and only pass it this element otherwise if its digit just print it

This works even when you dont know how many nested arrays you have otherwise use MWO answer

var myArray = [
[1,2,3],
[4,5,6],
[7,8,9,10],
[[11,12],[13,14,15]]];

function printArray(arr){
  for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
    if(Array.isArray(arr[i])){
      printArray(arr[i]);
    }else{
      console.log(arr[i]);
    }
  }
}

printArray(myArray);

This fucntion works for any depth of multi dimensional array. Using Recursion

var myArray = [1,2,33,44, [1,2,3], [[11,12],[13,14,15]]];

var myArray1 = [1,2,33,44, [[11,12],[13,14,15]]];


var deepFlattenArray = function (array){
    var result = []; 
    
    array.forEach(function (element) {
      if (Array.isArray(element)) {
          result = result.concat(deepFlattenArray(element)); 
      } else {
          result.push(element);
      }
    });
    
    return result;
};

console.log(deepFlattenArray(myArray));
 // output = [ 1,  2, 33, 44,  1, 2,  3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]

console.log(deepFlattenArray(myArray1));
// output = [1,  2, 33, 44, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 ]
