Good to know
- Everything runs client-side, so extremely large inputs are limited by your browser tab’s memory rather than by a server upload limit.
- The worked example below could not be pre-computed for this tool (threw: function is not iterable (cannot read property Symbol(Symbol.iterator))); the interactive tool above still works normally.
