JavaScript string to array

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

You can change the delimiter accordingly can help you convert strings to arrays in JavaScript. Let’s look at a case where "," is a delimiter.
let str1 = 'JavaScript,Python,C++,PHP';
const split_string = str1.split(",");
console.log(split_string)Output: [“JavaScript”, “Python”, “C++”, “PHP”]
Another way to convert a string to an array is to use the Array.from() method. This method creates a new array from an iterable object, where each element of the array corresponds to an element of the iterable.
let str = "Hello, world!";
let arr = Array.from(str);
console.log(arr); // Output: ["H", "e", "l", "l", "o", ",", " ", "w", "o", "r", "l", "d", "!"]
