Understanding Arrays

Arrays are versatile data structures used to store and manipulate collections of values. They are commonly used for managing lists of some items. Here, we will explore the creation of arrays and how to access their elements.

Creating Arrays

We can create an array using square brackets [], known as array literals. Commas should separate elements within the array.

Here, the sport array contains three elements: "basketball", "hockey", and "cricket".

Accessing Array Elements

We can access specific elements within an array by using square brackets with the element's index. Array indices start at 0, meaning the first element has an index of 0, the second element has an index of 1, and so on.


              123456
            
const motorcycleBrands = ["Harley-Davidson", "Honda", "Kawasaki", "Suzuki"];

console.log(motorcycleBrands[0]); // Output: Harley-Davidson
console.log(motorcycleBrands[1]); // Output: Honda
console.log(motorcycleBrands[2]); // Output: Kawasaki
console.log(motorcycleBrands[3]); // Output: Suzuki

In this example, we access the elements of the motorcycleBrands array using their indices.

The first element is accessed with motorcycleBrands[0];
The second with motorcycleBrands[1];
The third with motorcycleBrands[2];
The forth with motorcycleBrands[3].
