Ruby | Array class flatten() function

flatten() is an Array class method which returns flattened array i.e. a 1D array

Syntax: Array.flatten()

Parameter: Array

Example #1 :

# Ruby code for flatten() method

# flatten
puts "flatten : #{a.flatten()}\n\n"

# flatten

Output :

flatten : [18, 22, 33, nil, 5, 6]

flatten : [1, 4, 1, 1, 88, 9]
