--description--

Flatten a nested array. You must account for varying levels of nesting.

--hints--

steamrollArray([[["a"]], [["b"]]]) should return ["a", "b"].

assert.deepEqual(steamrollArray([[['a']], [['b']]]), ['a', 'b']);

steamrollArray([1, [2], [3, [[4]]]]) should return [1, 2, 3, 4].

assert.deepEqual(steamrollArray([1, [2], [3, [[4]]]]), [1, 2, 3, 4]);

steamrollArray([1, [], [3, [[4]]]]) should return [1, 3, 4].

assert.deepEqual(steamrollArray([1, [], [3, [[4]]]]), [1, 3, 4]);

steamrollArray([1, {}, [3, [[4]]]]) should return [1, {}, 3, 4].

assert.deepEqual(steamrollArray([1, {}, [3, [[4]]]]), [1, {}, 3, 4]);

Your solution should not use the Array.prototype.flat() or Array.prototype.flatMap() methods.

assert(!__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/\.\s*flat\s*\(/) && !__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/\.\s*flatMap\s*\(/));

Global variables should not be used.

steamrollArray([1, {}, [3, [[4]]]])
assert.deepEqual(steamrollArray([1, {}, [3, [[4]]]]), [1, {}, 3, 4])
