In this article, I will discuss everything you need to know about Array in JavaScript. So, Let’s get started 😐

1. Create an Array

// Create an array
const colors = ['black', 'white', 'green', 'blue'];

2. Getting length of an Array

// Getting length of an Array 
const arrLength = colors.length;
console.log('The length of the array is = ', arrLength);
// Expected output: The length of the array is =  4
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Getting element by index position

// Getting element by index position
const getValueByIndex = colors[0];
console.log('Index of first element is = ', getValueByIndex);
//Expected output: Index of first element is =  black
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4. Array indexOf() method => Used to get index of any single element

// Array indexOf() method => Used to get index of any single element
const getIndexByValue = colors.indexOf('white');
console.log('The index of the element is = ', getIndexByValue);

5. Array push() method => Used to add element at end of an Array

// Array push() method => Used to add element at end of an Array
console.log('Previous array', colors);
colors.push('Orange'); // Added 13 at the end of previous array colors
console.log('Array after pushing a value ', colors);
/* Expected Output: 
Previous array [ 'black', 'white', 'green', 'blue' ]
Array after pushing a element  [ 'black', 'white', 'green', 'blue', 'Orange' ] */
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

6. Array pop() method => Used to remove last element from an Array

// Array pop() method => Used to remove last element from an Array
console.log('Array before pop', colors);
colors.pop(); // Removed last element of the array colors
console.log('Array after pop', colors);
