At some point you will start to take people's advice.  Until then I
don't think you will make much headway.

Show the output from console.log of the array you are starting with.
Then show the output from console.log of the "thing" you want.  I don't
even know if you want a string or an array, and if you want an array, I
don't know what type of elements it should have.  The output from
console.log will make it clear to other what task you are trying to
perform.

OK.  (I note, however, that in one bit of code you once posted you
pointlessly converted them to strings only to immediately re-convert
them back to numbers.  This made me think that, at the time, you did not
know which you had in the array.)

Since this is your program, you can know what it is.  There should be no
need to assume it.  This makes you statement "stored in array as [01,1]"
very odd.  That looks like an array of two integers, both of which are 1.

And how hard is it to do what I ask?  Show the console.log output for
the array you have and then do the same for the string you want to
print.
