How do you create self string using special characters

The self string can be formed with the combination of []()!+ characters. You need to remember the below conventions to achieve this pattern.

1. Since Arrays are truthful values, negating the arrays will produce false: ![] === false

2. As per JavaScript coercion rules, the addition of arrays together will toString them: [] + [] === ""

3. Prepend an array with + operator will convert an array to false, the negation will make it true and finally converting the result will produce value '1': +(!(+[])) === 1

By applying the above rules, we can derive below conditions

javascript
1(![] + [] === "false" + !+[]) === 1;

Now the character pattern would be created as below,

javascript
1s               e               l               f
2  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3
4  (![] + [])[3] + (![] + [])[4] + (![] + [])[2] + (![] + [])[0]
5  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
6  (![] + [])[+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]] +
7  (![] + [])[+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]] +
8  (![] + [])[+!+[]+!+[]] +
9  (![] + [])[+[]]
10  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
11  (![]+[])[+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+(![]+[])[+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+(![]+[])[+!+[]+!+[]]+(![]+[])[+[]]
