JavaScriptSpreadspread with stringsbeginner

What this snippet does

Spreading a string creates an array of its characters — combine with Set to get unique characters instantly.

Expected output

[ 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o' ]
[ 'm', 'i', 's', 'p' ]
misp

Why practise typing this

Typing spread code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation JavaScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
