Is there a compact way to have this version also merge an array when it finds one in the arguments?

I don't understand the first result ["b", "X", "Y", "Z", "c"]. Why isn't "d" included? It seems to me that if you put 6 as the second parameter of slice() and there are 6 elements in the array starting from the specified index, then you should get all 6 elements in the return value. (The doc says howMany for that parameter.) developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/…

Actually, if I use an index of 3 or more, I get nothing in the output (case 1., FireFox) ["a", "b", "c", "d"].insert(2, "X", "Y", "Z").slice(3, 3); => [ ]

@AlexisWilke In the first example I used slice method and not splice, which you're referring to in the comment. Second parameter of slice (named end) is zero-based index at which to end extraction. slice extracts up to but not including end. Hence after insert you have ["a", "b", "X", "Y", "Z", "c", "d"], from which slice extracts elements with indices from 1 up to 6, i.e. from "b" to "d" but not including "d". Does it make sense?

For some reason, when I go to use insert2, i get an "Expected 1 argument, but got 2" exception.
