JS

Arrays
Arrays
• An array is a special variable, which can hold
more than one value
• An array can hold many values under a single
name, and you can access the values by
referring to an index number.
• Syntax
• const array_name = [item1, item2, ...];
Examples
• const cars = [
"Saab",
"Volvo",
"BMW"
];
• const cars = [];
cars[0]= "Saab";
cars[1]= "Volvo";
cars[2]= "BMW";
• const cars = new Array("Saab", "Volvo", "BMW");
 There is no need to use new Array().
 For simplicity, readability and execution speed, use the array literal
method.
Index
• Array indexes start with 0.
• [0] is the first element. [1] is the second element.
• Example
• const cars = ["Saab", "Volvo", "BMW"];
let car = cars[0];
 0 -> Saab = car[0]
 1 -> volvo= car[1]
 2-> BMV=ca[2]
Changing Value
• To change element Value , we use index
property
• Example:
• car[0]=“Tata” , car[1]=“maruti”;
• To change the full array we can accessed by
referring to the array name
• Example
• document.write(cars);
Arrays are Objects
• Arrays are a special type of objects. The typeof operator
in JavaScript returns "object" for arrays.
• As JS arrays are heterogeneous.
• can have variables of different types in the same Array.
Also,can have functions in an Array as well as can have
arrays in an Array
• Example: const person = ["John", "Doe", 46];
• Different
• Arrays use numbers to access its "elements".
• Objects use names to access its "members".
The length Property

• The length property of an array returns the


length of an array (the number of array
elements).
• Example:
• cars.length // Returns the number of
elements
• The length property is always one more than
the highest array index. (cars[cars.length - 1])
Array Methods
• add a new element to an array is using
the push() method
• to remove elements from an array we use the
pop() method. It removes (pops) the last
element of an array.
• The sort() method sorts an array alphabetically.
(not numerically)
• The reverse() method reverses the elements in
an array.
• The forEach() method calls a function for each
element in an array.
• The forEach() method is not executed for
empty elements.
Map Method
• The map() method creates a new array by
performing a function on each array element.
• The map() method does not execute the
function for array elements without values.
• The map() method does not change the
original array.
• .The filter() method creates a new array with
array elements that pass a test.
• The every() method checks if all array values
pass a test
Const Array
• It does NOT define a constant array. It defines
a constant reference to an array.
• Because of this, we can still change the
elements of a constant array
• Example
• const cars = ["Saab", "Volvo", "BMW"];
cars = ["Toyota", "Volvo", "Audi"]; // ERROR
• Cars[1] =“ABC” //Allowed
• const variables must be assigned a value when
they are declared
• An array declared with const has Block Scope.
