I'm trying to convert a two-dimensional array to a string in order to store it in the localStorage array. However, there is something wrong with this code I cannot identify:
for(x in array) {
if(array[x] instanceof Array) {
array[x] = array[x].join("`");
}
}
var string = array.join("@");
localStorage[key] = string;
Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
As for what's wrong, by multidimensional array I mean array[0][1] etc. When input into localStorage, all the 'string' is reduced to is @, implying on the other side of the @ there are still arrays.

To access an element of the multidimensional array, you first use square brackets to access an element of the outer array that returns an inner array; and then use another square bracket to access the element of the inner array.
Javascript has no inbuilt support for multidimensional arrays, however the language is flexible enough that you can emulate this behaviour easily by populating your arrays with separate arrays, creating a multi-level structure.
Nowadays this is as simple as:
[[1,2],[3,4]].map(e => e.join(':')).join(';'); // 1:2;3:4
