JavaScript - create array
3 points
This article will show you how to create an array in JavaScript.
Quick solution:
xxxxxxxxxx1
const arrayName = [element1, element2, element3, elementN];
xxxxxxxxxx1
const myArray = ['Tom', 'Kate', 'Mary'];2
3
console.log(myArray); // Tom,Kate,MaryThe above creation of an array can also be written as follows:
xxxxxxxxxx1
const myArray = [2
'Tom', 3
'Kate', 4
'Mary'5
];6
7
console.log(myArray); // Tom,Kate,Maryor:
xxxxxxxxxx1
const myArray = [];2
3
myArray[0] = 'Tom';4
myArray[1] = 'Kate';5
myArray[2] = 'Mary';6
// null on 3rd and 4th positions7
myArray[5] = 'John';8
9
console.log(myArray); // Tom,Kate,,,Mary // use JSON.stringify(myArray) to see null valuesNote: this approach will cause automatic array resizing on assigning new indexes - by assigning non consecutive indexes, the array will be filled in unused areas with
nullvalues.
or:
xxxxxxxxxx1
const myArray = Array(3);2
3
myArray[0] = 'Tom';4
myArray[1] = 'Kate';5
myArray[2] = 'Mary';6
7
console.log(myArray); // Tom,Kate,MaryNote: this approach allocates necessary array space during array creation - not necessary resize in memory later.
or:
xxxxxxxxxx1
const myArray = new Array('Tom', 'Kate', 'Mary');2
3
console.log(myArray); // Tom,Kate,MaryNote: the constructor-based approach used a much less frequent approach.
