Working with Array Elements

Let's explore how to

Modify array elements;
Find the length of an array;
Access the last element and delve deeper into the concept of indexing.

Modifying Array Elements

Array elements can be changed by accessing them through their index and assigning a new value.

Here, we modify the first two elements of the weekdays array to their Spanish translations.

Array Length

The length property of an array represents the number of elements it contains. This property is dynamic and automatically adjusts when elements are added or removed.

In this example, the mountains array contains four elements, and mountains.length returns 4.

Finding the Last Element

To retrieve the value of the last element in an array, we can calculate its index using the array's length. The index of the last element is always array.length - 1.

In this case, lastIndex is computed as 3, which is the index of the last element, and we access the last element using vehicles[lastIndex].

1. How can we modify an array element?

2. What is the purpose of the `length` property of an array?

3. In the example provided below, what is the new value of the first element in the `movies` array after the modification?

4. How can we access the last element in the `cartoons` array?

5. What is the value of the `item` in the example provided below?

How can we modify an array element?

Select the correct answer

By using curly braces {}.

By accessing the element's index and assigning a new value.

By using the updateElement keyword.

What is the purpose of the length property of an array?

Select the correct answer

It stores the maximum allowed size of the array.

It represents the number of elements in the array and adjusts automatically when elements are added or removed.

It is used to specify the data type of the array.

In the example provided below, what is the new value of the first element in the movies array after the modification?

Select the correct answer

"Pulp Fiction"

"The Shawshank Redemption"

"Inception"

"The Godfather"

How can we access the last element in the cartoons array?

Select the correct answer

cartoons[cartoons.length]

cartoons[cartoons.length - 1]

cartoons[-1]

What is the value of the item in the example provided below?

Select the correct answer

"Orchard"

"Vineyard"

"Horse Ranch"

"Organic Farm"

Everything was clear?
