[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ]
[ 'hello', 'world', 'foo', 'bar' ]

Why practise typing this

Typing arrays 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.
