Introduction to JavaScript

ArrayArray

The array is the most useful data structure.

Note

Data Structure is a specialized format for working with a data set (data organization).

Array is an item collection where items are literals.

Creating

To create an array you need to use []:

It's the array without elements (empty array). To create an array with elements, you should put elements into [] and separate them with commas (,):

Note

There should be no comma after the last element of the array.

You can print the array by console.log():

Indexes

Every element in the array has a unique index:

Note

Indexes start from 0. The first element is placed with the index 0, the second element is placed with the index 1, etc.

To calculate the index of an element, you can use the formula "N - 1" (where N is the number of the element).

You have access to the array data by index. You can retrieve an element from the array simply by writing its index in square brackets ([index]) after the array name:

Arrays in JS can work with different data types: number, string, boolean, etc.

Length

The length is a property. The length returns an array length:

Note

Property and Method concepts is used in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). This will be described in another course.

Methods are called like functions using parentheses (), while properties provide values like variables.
