 The `flat()` method is a [copying method](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array#copying_methods_and_mutating_methods). It does not alter `this` but instead returns a [shallow copy](/en-US/docs/Glossary/Shallow_copy) that contains the same elements as the ones from the original array.
 
-The `flat()` method ignores empty slots if the array being flattened is [sparse](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Indexed_collections#sparse_arrays). For example, if `depth` is 1, both empty slots in the root array and in the first level of nested arrays are ignored, but empty slots in further nested arrays are preserved with the arrays themselves.
+The `flat()` method removes empty slots if the array being flattened is [sparse](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Indexed_collections#sparse_arrays).

 The `flat()` method is [generic](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array#generic_array_methods). It only expects the `this` value to have a `length` property and integer-keyed properties. However, its elements must be arrays if they are to be flattened.
