You can flatten an array in Ruby using the Array#flatten method, for example, like so:
print [1, [2, 3], [4, [5, 6, [7, 8]]]].flatten #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
It is also possible to flatten the array only "n-level" deep by specifying the (optional) depth number as an argument to the method. For example, the following would flatten the array only one-level deep:
print [1, [2, 3], [4, [5, 6, [7, 8]]]].flatten(1) #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, [5, 6, [7, 8]]]
