How do I wrap a set of parens around each character in a string?

For example if the given string is \"papa\" the result should be \"(p)(a)(p)(a)\"

Solution

str.split(\"\"); to split string into chars and then embrace each char with paranthsis and join to make string again

var s= \"papa\";

var a=s.split(\'\');
var s2=\"\";
for(i=0;i<a.length;i++)
s2=s2+\"(\"+a[i]+\")\";
alert(s2);
