java script learning: Arrays object

Arrays:
It is a collection of elements of homogenious or different data types.

1. Creating Array

a) var n=[1,2,3,4,5];

var months[“Jan”, “Feb”, 3, 4, “May”];

b) var n=new array(1,2,3,4,5);

c) var n=new array[5];

2. Adding Elements : New element can be inserted at given position.

var n=[1,2,3,4,5];

var n[3]=6;

3. Accessing Elements

Last index is known by length attribute. So elements are accessed from beginning to

ending by using a loop.

Ex :

for(var i=0;i<ar.length;i++)

{

document.write(ar[i]);

}

Array indexes are zero-based, which means the first item is [0], second is [1], and so on.

Array Properties:

Here is a list of each property and their description.

Property	Description
constructor	Returns a reference to the array function that created the object.
index	The property represents the zero-based index of the match in the string
input	This property is only present in arrays created by regular expression matches.
length	Reflects the number of elements in an array.
prototype	The prototype property allows you to add properties and methods to an object.

Array Methods

Here is a list of each method and its description.

Method	Description
concat()	Returns a new array comprised of this array joined with other array(s) and/or value(s).
every()	Returns true if every element in this array satisfies the provided testing function.
filter()	Creates a new array with all of the elements of this array for which the provided filtering function returns true.
forEach()	Calls a function for each element in the array.
indexOf()	Returns the first (least) index of an element within the array equal to the specified value, or -1 if none is found.
join()	Joins all elements of an array into a string.
lastIndexOf()	Returns the last (greatest) index of an element within the array equal to the specified value, or -1 if none is found.
map()	Creates a new array with the results of calling a provided function on every element in this array.
pop()	Removes the last element from an array and returns that element.
push()	Adds one or more elements to the end of an array and returns the new length of the array.
reduce()	Apply a function simultaneously against two values of the array (from left-to-right) as to reduce it to a single value.
reduceRight()	Apply a function simultaneously against two values of the array (from right-to-left) as to reduce it to a single value.
reverse()	Reverses the order of the elements of an array -- the first becomes the last, and the last becomes the first.
shift()	Removes the first element from an array and returns that element.
slice()	Extracts a section of an array and returns a new array.
some()	Returns true if at least one element in this array satisfies the provided testing function.
toSource()	Represents the source code of an object
sort()	Sorts the elements of an array.
splice()	Adds and/or removes elements from an array.
toString()	Returns a string representing the array and its elements.
unshift()	Adds one or more elements to the front of an array and returns the new length of the array.
