Here is the original question where the user asks how to create an empty matrix. One of the answers is the following
/**
* Generates a matrix (ie: 2-D Array) with:
* 'm' columns,
* 'n' rows,
* every cell defaulting to 'd';
*/
function Matrix(m, n, d){
var mat = Array.apply(null, new Array(m)).map(
Array.prototype.valueOf,
Array.apply(null, new Array(n)).map(
function() {
return d;
}
)
);
return mat;
}
This certainly works. But can anyone explain me step by step what exactly going on in this code?
