JavaScript: IE11 Array.flat() Method/Function

Still developing for IE11? Well, the flat() method of Array instances creates a new array with all sub-array elements concatenated into it. This example only flattens one level, keep applying it to keep flattening more levels.

if (!Array.prototype.flat) {
	Array.prototype.flat = function () {

		if (this == null) {
			throw new Error('this is null or not defined');
		}

		var O = Object(this);

		var len = O.length >>> 0;
		var arr = [];
		for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
			if (Array.isArray(O[i])) {
				arr.concat(O.flat());
			}
			else {
				arr.push(O[i]);
			}
		}

		return arr;
	};
}
