The **`Array.from()` method** in JavaScript is used to create a new *Array* object, given any array-like or iterable object.

# Syntax

The syntax for `Array.from()` method is shown below:

- **`arrayLike`:** An array-like or any iterable object to be converted into a new array object. This argument *must* be given.

- **`mapFn`:** An optional map function argument to be applied on each element of the array being generated. Essentially, `Array.from(arrayLike, mapFn, thisArg)` has the same result as `Array.from(arrayLike).map(mapFn, thisArg)`. The only difference is that it does not create an intermediate array.

- **`thisArg`:** An optional value to be used as `this` by the map function, `mapFn`.

# Examples

Here are some examples to help you better understand how to use the `Array.from()` method.


## 1. String to Array
This example shows the simple usage of `Array.from()` method to convert a String into an array where each character becomes an element of the array.



const str = "Educative!";
const arr = Array.from(str);
console.log(arr);

## 2. String to Array with Map function

This example shows how to use the map function, passed as an argument to the `Array.from()` method. Here, the map function `x => x + '.'` is meant to take each character from the string as an individual element and append a dot `.` to it.

const str = "Educative!";
const arr = Array.from(str, x => x + '.');
console.log(arr);

## 3. Set to Array 

This example shows how to use the `Array.from()` method to convert a given Set object to an Array of its values.

const mySet = new Set([0, 200, 300, 200, 400, 401]); 
const arr = Array.from(mySet);
console.log(arr);
