Javascript Explode Implode

JavaScript equivalent of PHP explode function

In PHP we can easily break a long string into smaller parts by using the explode() function of PHP. In run rime, this function works like this:

$string="My Name Is Wahyu Pramusinto";
$string2=explode(" ", $string);


After the execution of the second command the variable $string2 is an array such that,

$string2[0]="My"
$string2[1]="Name"
$string2[2]="Is"
$string2[3]="Wahyu"
$string2[4]="Pramusinto"

and so on. So how do we do it in JavaScript. In JavaScript there is a split() function that achieves the same objective, although the syntax is a bit different.

var string="My Name Is Wahyu Pramusinto";
var string2=string.split(" ");

Now the variable string2 has all those words.
