I need some help. I'm not grasping why the following in a for loop keeps creating new arrays with length of 1 instead of pushing onto the single array match. Or is it working as intended and I'm just unable to console.log() the full array?
const match = [];
match.push(getLetters[i].textContent);
And here is the result I'm getting with console.log(match); after selecting the "a" and "o" buttons.
["a"]
0: "a"
length: 1
>__proto__: Array(0)
["f"]
0: "f"
length: 1
>__proto__: Array(0)
