The following example illustrates how the spread operator provides a much clearer syntax while calling functions that take an array as an argument:

    function sumAll(a,b,c){ 
      return a+b+c 
    } 
    var numbers = [6,7,8] 
    //ES5 way of passing array as an argument of a function 
    console.log(sumAll.apply(null,numbers)); //21 
    //ES6 Spread operator 
    console.log(sumAll(...numbers))//21 

In ES5, it is common to use the apply() function when passing an array as an argument to a function. In the preceding example, we have an array we need to pass to a function where the function accepts three variables. The ES5 method of passing an array to...
